Mum Sent Nude Photos to Men for Money Then Blackmailed Them

Demi Sweatman extracted over £1,400 from two men by sending explicit images and falsely claiming to be 15, leading to blackmail charges in Grimsby Crown Court.

  • At Grimsby Crown Court, Demi Sweatman, 24, mother of three, admitted two blackmail offences after sending nude photos online and falsely claiming to be 15 years old.
  • In May 2023, Sweatman posted a 'Snap me' image on Instagram offering nude photos for 20 and later threatened exposure after responding to a similar Facebook Dating post in October 2024.
  • One victim paid a total of £1,150, with £500 deposited into Anderson's account, as prosecutors confirmed; another victim, a student, paid £290.
  • Sweatman was sentenced to 11 months, suspended for 18 months, with 15 Rehabilitation Activity Requirement days and 100 hours unpaid work, while Judge Gurdial Singh called the crimes 'disgraceful and nasty offending'.
  • Both victims, the prosecutor said, suffered anxiety and fear from the blackmail; Tim Savage told the court Sweatman had no previous convictions, was a young mother of three, and claimed coercion by her partner, while Maya Hanson described a volatile relationship and remorse.
