Alleged sex predators blackmail women for nudes on Telegram
The Internet is a double-edged sword. It’s a place for us to express ourselves freely, as well as promote social awareness, all while getting our dose of entertainment and information.
That said, there are some who misuse the Internet for their own benefits by jeopardising others, like these men in a Telegram group whose alleged sexual predatory actions were exposed by a netizen.

On 28th June 2021, the YouTube channel, The League of Shadows, uploaded a video explaining how Malaysian women were blackmailed for their nude photos and subjected to sexual harassment by men on Telegram.
The video said that the alleged sex predator victimised 3 new women in the past week.
According to the video, the man had managed to get the women to send over private photos of themselves. He then blackmailed the women by saying that if they don’t pose for the members in the Telegram group, Kunji Kecik Official – or “Small Penis Official” – with over 200 members, he would leak their private photos.
The video also said that the alleged predator who runs the Telegram group runs “projects” on a regular basis to victimise women one after another. It is also mentioned that their victims include even minors as young as 13.

A further check into the YouTuber’s channel found that they have an Instagram account where alleged screenshots of conversations from these groups and the profile photos of some of the members are leaked.
One of the Instagram posts warns young women who have a substantial following on social media to be vigilant of the sex predator, as they would often approach them as a modelling agent. Tricking women into a photoshoot that includes them posing in lingerie, the predator then blackmails them to send them their nudes with the photos from the said “photoshoot”.
When they receive the nudes, it is said that they would then add the women to the Telegram group where fellow members sexually harass the women by asking for even more private photos.
The account owner of @leagueofshadows_21 wants to warn Malaysian women to be cautious of the sex predator who is behind these acts so that they will not fall prey to the scam.
Women said to be blackmailed for nudes on Telegram
It is alarming to hear about sex predators preying on women on social media platforms, especially since some of the victims are said to be as young as 13. We hope that this Youtubers’ post brings this issue to light and if the allegations are true, that the police will investigate it.
We should also remain vigilant so we don’t fall prey to sexual predators and scammers. If you or anyone you know is a victim of a similar incident, do report it to the authorities and seek professional help.
