PENANG, MALAYSIA: A 30-year-old mother of three has lodged a police report that she was blackmailed into having sex with two men after her boyfriend threatened to distribute a video clip of them having oral sex.

The woman, who worked as a hypermarket salesgirl, had been going out with the man known to her only as Zul for the past month after she and her husband separated about six months ago.

On Friday at about 2am, she went to his Sungai Nibong flat where there were two other men inside.

The boyfriend then allegedly asked her to have sex with them but she refused.

She relented after Zul threatened to distribute the video clip to her family and friends.

She lodged a report at the Sungai Nibong police station later that day.

She was then sent to the Penang Hospital for a check-up.

State CID chief Senior Asst Comm II Wan Abdullah Tuanku Said, who confirmed that a report had been lodged, said they were now looking for the boyfriend and the two men.

Police have classified the case as rape under Section 376 of the Penal Code which carries a jail term of up to 20 years with possible whipping.

It is learnt that a police team was sent to the flat but no one was there and the premises looked like it had been vacant for quite some time.
