A POLICE worker stalked and blackmailed a teenage boy for seven years after meeting him through an online game.
Ryann Moroney, 28, convinced the lad when he was 15 that he was being blackmailed by several Snapchat accounts.
Moroney, who worked on the London Met’s cyber crime unit, asked the boy to send naked selfies to appease his fictitious blackmailers.
He was arrested when his victim went to the police, who found 83 indecent images of him on Moroney’s phone.
Moroney admitted stalking and making indecent images of the most serious kind at Inner London crown court.
Judge Nathaniel Rudolf KC told him he had taken “complete and utter advantage” of his victim in a “sophisticated campaign designed to maximise his fear”.
He jailed Moroney for four years, four months.
