39-year-old arrested for blackmailing 16-year-old with rape video in Quezon

A 39-year-old man named Noli was arrested in Quezon Province for allegedly blackmailing a 16-year-old girl with a video of him raping her, according to the Philippine National Police Anti-Cybercrime Group (PNP-ACG).

Noli, who works as a helper at his family's thrift shop in Tayabas City, was arrested during an entrapment operation on September 15, 2025, in the same town.

The victim, a resident of Sariaya town, met Noli on social media in September and was lured to his apartment with promises of P200 and other gifts.

During the encounter, the suspect threatened the victim with a gun, raped her, and secretly recorded the incident without her knowledge.

The victim did not immediately report the crime, but the suspect was eventually caught after police used an entrapment operation.

ACG Director Brig. Gen. Wilson Asueta explained that even small incentives like P200 can be enough to lure teenagers, as they may use the money for small purchases or other needs.
