UK Teacher Blackmailed by Man Posing as Woman, Loses Job and Attempts Suicide

A 21-year-old student, Muaawiya Ameen, has been sentenced to 15 months in prison for blackmail at Derby Crown Court. The teacher believed he was chatting with a woman online and sent an explicit video filmed in his school’s disabled toilet. Ameen then demanded £1,000 to keep the footage private and received £400 before leaking it to the teacher’s own pupils. The exposure cost the victim his job and pushed him into a suicide attempt on the night the video was shared. During sentencing, the judge condemned the “wicked behaviour” and highlighted the severe impact on the teacher’s privacy and mental health. In court, Ameen’s defence noted peer pressure and said he accepts full responsibility. He has family support and describes this as a learning experience.
