The court heard that Hamilton first contacted her former partner out of the blue in October 2020, requesting financial assistance as she claimed to be struggling financially. Initially, the victim transferred her £200. However, Hamilton approached him again a few weeks later, demanding £10,000. When he expressed his inability to meet her demands, Hamilton threatened to share sexual images and videos of him online.
