Fearing his whole life crumbling before his eyes, a teacher here had no choice but to accede to the demands of a man he had an affair with — to the point that his entire life savings were depleted.
The blackmailer — 35-year-old Ng Hian Gee Vincent — has since pleaded guilty in court to extorting a whopping $197,000 in cash and other luxury items from the victim, TODAY reports.
The 45-year-old married teacher had suffered for about six months having his savings "gouged out". If he didn't pay up, Ng threatened to expose their trysts to the Ministry of Education and his school.
