A man in Ontario has allegedly extorted sex from his ex-girlfriend by threatening to e-mail pictures of them having sex on a webcam to all of their acquaintances. An Ontario court has ruled that David George Stender should be found guilty of sexual assault stemming from the incident. The victim had no knowledge that she was being photographed by her ex-boyfriend.

According to court documents, the man sent the victim "about 200 e-mails" with images of the pair "engaged in sexual acts" after their two-year relationship ended. When the victim asked him to delete the photos from his computer, he blackmailed her into having sex with him on two occasions.



The court ruled the man's conduct "amounted to extortion" and the victim did not "voluntarily" agree to have sex with him.



"The respondent's conduct in threatening to disseminate the photographs unless [the victim] had sex with him amounted to extortion," the court said. "[Her] participation in the sexual acts in question was the direct result and the intended consequence of this extortionate conduct. On these facts, it cannot be said that [the victim] voluntarily agreed to have sexual activity with the respondent."

Stender's convictions relating to this incident had been previously overturned, but appellate judges reversed the acquittal and recommended convictions. He has plead guilty to assault charges that "occurred before and after the sexual assaults."

this wouldn't have made a difference though, right? i mean, even if they were images or videos she sent to him, it was his usage of them, to manipulate her back into a relationship, that was wrong.

i guess it just raises his scumbag level.
