After relocating to Famagusta, Cyprus, Christou harassed the victim in June 2021 through persistent phone calls and messages. On June 30, when a male relative answered one of his calls and told Christou to stop contacting her, Christou retaliated by sending the explicit footage to the relative via WhatsApp.
If you or someone you know needs help, report the crime to police by calling 101 or anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
