In a porn bind

OURS was an arranged marriage. During our six months of courtship, my husband behaved like a saint. A month after we tied the knot, he bought an instant camera and started taking pictures here and there. One day, he hid it in our bathroom and took some shots of me in the nude.
Then he installed a hidden camera in our bedroom. He preferred to make love in the day and would tell his best friend how great he was in bed. The friend, also a newlywed, would tell his wife, and then she’d tell me. I was very furious and upset.
After talking to some married friends, I decided to confront my husband about the shots he’d taken of me. I told him that my body looked better than in his photos. For four hours, I lectured him about what how wrong it was to do what he did. I told him I could have done something drastic, like ask for a separation.
My husband begged me to forgive him and promised that he would never take such shots again, of me or anybody else. I made him remove the hidden camera and he asked me never to mention this incident again. I agreed because he is a nice person who takes good care of my mother and siblings. He is always there when we need him.
But lately, he got to know a man who told him that they could make big sums of money if my husband took shots of the man having sex with different women during the weekends. My husband refused, but now the man is going around saying that my husband is making money by filing these pictures.
I was very angry and went to confront him with my husband. The man said that he was unemployed and had three wives to support. Now, he is demanding RM10,000 to settle the whole matter. Of course we refused to pay him. Now we are in a fix and don’t know what to do.
Bad Shot

IF you husband has not done the deed, how can he be accused? You can charge this man for blackmail and libel if he is spreading lies and threatening your husband for money.
Unless there is evidence that your husband is involved in the filming and distribution of pornographic materials, there is nothing that the man can do. If your husband is guilty, then you will have to consult a lawyer. It is already a crime that he took nude shots of you without your consent. So pleading innocence will not hold in court if he is found to have been secretly filming sexual acts.
You have already taught your husband a lesson; hopefully, he can be cured of his secret passion and kinky urges. Cut out articles about people being charged for filming with phone cameras and for taking shots while hiding in toilets and changing rooms. It’s not fun to be thrown into prison for committing such foolish acts.
Have one last word with your husband. Find out the truth so that you can be prepared for the worst.
