RIYADH: Saudi authorities arrested a man who attempted to blackmail several women after he lured them in with the prospects of job offers, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Thursday.
The man contacted the women online and asked them to send him their official documents for employment, according to a statement by the Public Prosecution.
He then saved the files and pictures on his phone and threatened to blackmail them if they did not comply with his demands, the statement added.
A case has been filed against him, the SPA reported, adding that the Public Prosecution said it will continue to crack down on individuals who try to exploit others.
