- Prosecutors said she contacted two men from Essex and Hertfordshire through adultwork.com, an adult services site, and threatened to expose them to family and employers.
- One man paid £2,300 after messages escalated to a doorstep visit in May 2024 with a handwritten note and photos of his children.
- Doorbell camera images and bank transfers that showed her real name tied her to the threats despite her use of the aliases Serena and Bianca.
