37-year-old Mohamed Sharizad Mohamed Samsuri, a technician, was smitten by his grandmother’s neighbour and stalked the married woman for more than half a year.
He tracked her down on Facebook and impersonated one of her friends, then conned her into giving him her phone number, which led to a string of threatening messages over Whatsapp after she ignored his requests for sex.
In May 2017, he harassed her by calling her phone multiple times. He then sent her threatening messages, which included pictures of her that he had taken earlier, writing: “Don’t block me… or (you will) regret it.”
Sharizad was sentenced to 19 week in jail after pleading guilty to a harassment charge yesterday.
He also pleased to an unrelated charge of possessing more than 700 video files from p*rnographic websites
In sentencing Sharizad, District Judge Marvin Bay said: “It went from his rather benign beginnings where he had extended invitations to add the victim as a friend on Facebook… to direct salacious messages, and then finally to utterly lewd requests for her to perform acts of fellatio on him… with overt sinister threats to expose her images and identity on social media.”
The victim lived in the same block of flats at Sharizad’s grandmother, although the location was not given in court documents.
