Will I get arrested for making online payments to scammer for sex


03-Apr-2024 (In Cyber Crime Law)
I was scammed by some fraud person posing as escort on WhatsApp in Feb 2020. I paid for some female nude photos and then paid for real meet in advance but realised they are scam. Then they blocked me. Recently I complained on cyber crime website anonymously and sent the full transcript of the WhatsApp chat (not the photos) but with screenshot of payments made that showed my partial bank number. Will the police arrest me for making payments of this sort even though no real meet took place?

Well, you may get in trouble and may be not, which depends upon : concerned IO is aware of which laws. There are laws in India which prescribes punishment for engaging in mutual sexting with consent too. So, while chatting with a fraud female, if you have gone to the extent of showing your nude pics to her and inviting nude pics from her, there are chances, you will be punished too.
