Pervert gets 27 months jail for computer misuse and attempted blackmail

SINGAPORE : 24-year-old Song Yick Biau was described as a "lonely" and "socially inept" man who sought refuge in the internet, where he could take on different personalities.

But he went too far and was slapped with 10 charges - nine under the Computer Misuse Act and one for criminal intimidation.

Song had assumed the identities of MSN Messenger users - chatting with their friends and changing their passwords to lock them out of their accounts.

He also threatened to post pictures of one victim online, unless she sent him photos of her breasts.
