Wanting to increase his chances of getting matches on dating application OkCupid, Sim Bing Rui created a fictitious persona named “Jay” with images of another man who he thought was “considered attractive by females”.

Posing as Jay, he would ask the girls he connected with on the app to meet him in real life and film them engaging in sexual activity together with their consent.

In the case of a 19-year-old he met, he threatened to send sexually explicit content he had of her to a chat group on messaging app Telegram and share them with her friends unless she had sex with him.
