A FEMALE doctor invited a friend over for dinner and ended up being extorted for RM10,000 (S$4,099).

The 35-year-old doctor, who is a single mother, had apparently been photographed in the nude by the "friend" whom she got to know on the Internet three months ago.

China Press reported the friend demanded RM10,000 as a "settlement fee" and threatened to distribute the naked photographs.

The doctor said she befriended the Arab man on the Internet and found him to be congenial.

Last Sunday, she invited him over for dinner at her home in Subang Jaya, Selangor, while her two children were away.

The man made her coffee and the doctor claimed to have lost consciousness after consuming the drink.

"When I woke up the next morning, I found myself naked on the bed. The man, together with some RM2,000 worth of jewellery, was gone.

"The next day, he asked me to pay US$3,000 (RM10,500) for the photographs," she told police after lodging a report.

Selangor CID chief Senior Asst Comm (II) Datuk Hasnan Hassan said police believed the doctor had been drugged.
