Police say UCF student accused of extortion using secret sex recording
Investigators say Diego Osorio Cualio met a UCF student on the dating app, Tinder. The two went to a hotel where he recorded their encounter on his phone, they said. Police said he messaged the victim on Snapchat threatening to post the video unless she paid him.
The victim gave Cualio $230, but that didn't stop his threats.
"Just by providing them what they want doesn’t mean they’re going to come back later or ask for something more," said UCF Police Commander James Mangan.
According to the arrest report after she paid him a second time, he asked for more money and nude pictures. She refused and went to the police. He is no longer allowed to have contact with her.
Police say they're not aware of any other victims right now, but encourage anyone who may have been involved with him to contact them. Investigators are now working to learn if any other women were involved with him. They advise victims to report it to the police right away before any threats escalate.
"The faster that we can get involved, we can hopefully stop the conduct and also help the victim get into their way for recovery," said Commander Mangan.
Police say Cualio was not a UCF student.
