Two 19-year-old KNUST students, Jerome Enyam and Ebenezer Adam, have been remanded by a Takoradi Circuit Court for "sextortion."
They allegedly collaborated to extort GH¢1,800 from Rhyndolf Owusu Hammond, a former KNUST student, by threatening to release a sexually explicit video of him and his girlfriend. The video was initially transferred by a friend without consent and then shared by the accused.
