WOMAN in P2M THREAT CHARGED

CHARGES of robbery extortion were filed yesterday against the 21-year-old woman who allegedly demanded P2 million from her ex-boyfriend whose private photos she planned to post on the Internet.

Ancy Dieto, a resident of barangay Inayawan, Cebu City, was brought by the National Bureau of Investigation in Central Visayas (NBI-7) to the Cebu City Prosecutors’ Office for an inquest proceeding.

Dieto was given 15 days to submit her counter-affidavit.

Dieto is presently detained at the NBI-7 stockade.

Dieto was arrested by the NBI-7 in an entrapment operation at the lobby of the Marriott Hotel in Cebu City last Wednesday.

The arrest stemmed from the complaint of American national John Bryan who alleged that Dieto demanded P2 million from him.

The American said Dieto threatened to post their intimate photos and videos on the Internet if he won’t give in to the woman’s demand.
Dieto denied the allegations. REPORTER ADOR VINCENT S. MAYOL
