A conman posed as a member of a notorious Scots crime family to extort cash from a teenager who sent him explicit images. Steven Adams, 34, targeted the 19-year-old student and his family at his address in Glasgow in September 2018.
The victim sent Adams sexualised pictures on social media which he later kept and used as bargaining power. Adams, of Hamilton, pretended to be a member of the crime clan in order to demand money.
Adams then contacted the victim's sisters - and one of their online business pages - ordering the teen to get in touch. The terrified teen sent £250 to the scammer and ignored threats for a further £1,000.
