Explicit Extortion

APRIL 29--Meet Breyanna Dean.

The 24-year-old Floridian was arrested Saturday morning on an extortion charge after she “maliciously posted pictures” of a male victim’s genitalia and then sought payment from him to “stop her actions,” according to a court complaint.

Investigators allege that Dean posted the explicit photos “across multiple social media platforms in direct messages.” Seen above, Dean “used the the victim’s old phone to access his social media and send the pictures,” the complaint charges.

The victim was unable to deactivate his accounts since Dean allegedly had changed the various passwords.

At one point, the complaint alleges, Dean “demanded the victim by written communication to pay a monetary payment to stop her actions.” The victim is not identified in court filings, but he appears to have been in a prior relationship with Dean, a mother of three.

Dean’s actions “directly exposed the victim to disgrace,” the complaint states.

Dean, a Massachusetts native, was arrested Saturday morning at her New Port Richey home. She was released from jail later that day after posting $10,000 bond on the felony count.

According to court records, Dean has previous convictions for disorderly conduct, careless driving, and leaving the scene of an accident. She was also the defendant in a pair of actions filed last year seeking cyberstalking injunctions against her. In one case, a female plaintiff secured a six-month restraining order against Dean. A second woman was granted a temporary injunction, but her action against Dean was subsequently dismissed by a judge. (1 page)
