In Australia, Justin Williams (above) tried to blackmail a man with pictures of him going into a public toilet with two other men. He didn't get to far with the blackmail, the man being blackmailed rushed to the police and Williams was charged with extortion. Sucker!! Guess what the reason for blackmail was?? He felt someone had to teach these Perverts a Lesson..Eh? Who is he calling a pervert??
Justin Williams, 39, made his second phone call demanding payment while his victim was reporting the extortion bid to police.
Williams, of Hoppers Crossing, yesterday pleaded guilty to blackmail in the County Court for demanding $1500 from a man he saw at a toilet block near Melton, west of Melbourne.
The court heard Williams had been sitting in his vehicle reading a newspaper last November when he saw a man walk into the toilet block with two other men.
He wrote down a phone number displayed on the side of a work van driven by one of the men.
Williams saw his target leave the toilet block and then phoned him and said he had photos and would "cause problems" if the man didn't deliver the money in 40 minutes to a Bacchus Marsh park.
But the court heard the victim instead drove straight to the nearest police station and reported the extortion attempt.
While he was reporting the blackmail attempt to police, Williams phoned him a second time threatening to "flog him" if he didn't pay up.
In a later police interview, Williams said he had tried to blackmail the man because he was disturbed by what he had seen and wanted to teach the "perverts" a lesson.
Defence lawyer Maitland Lincoln said the father of one wanted to protect children who might have walked into the toilets, and said Williams had demanded the money as a form of punishment.
Judge Geoff Chettle convicted Williams and fined him $5000. [SOURCE]
