PE MAN BLACKMAILED OVER GAY SEX VIDEO

A man has appeared in the Port Elizabeth magistrate‘s court for allegedly blackmailing a Port Elizabeth businessman over video footage showing him engaging in gay sex, reports The Herald.

Zimbabwe-born Shepard Tito (39) has been accused of setting up sexual liaisons with high profile businessmen which he then videotaped.

“The man is then allegedly contacted a few days later by the suspect and told to deposit exorbitant amounts into a bank account or else the video footage will be exposed to the public,” said Humewood police commissioner Director Ronald Koll.

According to the newspaper, Tito’s alleged target, an un-named 44 year old businessman, has already paid over R40,000 in cash in the blackmail scam.

Police say they suspect that there are other victims who have been blackmailed by Tito and are investigating the matter further.
