The 25-year-old said the incident took place when she went to meet the
32-year-old salesman in March this year.
She claimed that earlier while in Brunei, she received a phone call from him
that he has pictures of her only in her underwear and that if she wanted them,
she had to come here.
Worried that the images would be misused, she agreed to meet him at a hotel
here about 11pm on March 12.
When they were in the room, the man told her to take off her clothes if she
really wanted the pictures.
At first she refused but she did so later after being convinced by the man and
they allegedly had sex thereafter. Later, the man just left her without ever
handing over the so-called pictures.
City Police Chief, ACP Ahmad Sofi Zakaria said the woman, who has moved to
Miri, claimed the man tried using the same approach until about August to lure
her back.
The woman, who could not take it anymore, lodged a report on Sept 3.
Ahmad Sofi said the suspect was detained at Kepayan Ridge at about 1am on
Tuesday, adding police are looking at framing investigations under Section 506
of the Penal Code for criminal intimidation.
