In a gripping courtroom drama unfolding in Glasgow, a Scots OnlyFans model named Portia Riddick finds herself at the center of a blackmail scandal. A man, whose identity remains protected for legal reasons, claims he was coerced into transferring a hefty sum of £20,000 to Riddick in October 2023. The allegation is that Riddick threatened to expose his purchases of explicit content to his friends unless he paid up.
The case, currently being heard at the Glasgow Sheriff Court, revolves around the accusation that Riddick extorted a total of £20,013 from the man over a period of ten days, from October 15 to October 25, 2023. It all began when the two connected on Instagram back in 2021, but it wasn't until recently that the man reached out to Riddick, who was promoting her content under the Instagram alias 'PortiaHughes123.'
“I didn’t want my friends to find out," the man confessed in court. "I held my hands up to that. I didn’t want anyone to find out.”
According to the man's testimony, he initially paid modest sums of £40 or £50 for private content, sent via bank transfers. However, the situation escalated when, on October 15, a message from Riddick's account allegedly demanded money with the threat of messaging his friends about his purchases. In shock, the man made several payments ranging from £10 to £2,000, believing he could recover his money with a final payment of £2,000 on October 25.
The plot thickens with the involvement of Riddick's younger sister, Paris, who testified about a bank account she opened, only to hand full control over to her sister. Paris was nearly arrested herself when the police investigated the account, but Portia took responsibility, leading to her arrest. The trial continues, with no shortage of dramatic twists as the courtroom drama unfolds before Sheriff Joan Kerr.
