A Sri Lankan student in Australia has been sentenced to 13 years and six months in jail for threatening young girls.

Identified as Ranpati Amarasinghe, he is in the country on a bridging visa while he studies at Deakin University, reports Australian Associated Press.

A Victoria county court was told yesterday (02) how he coerced young girls into sending explicit images and videos.

If they failed to comply with his demands for more, Amarasinghe sent the initial material to their families and friends.

The court was told that he would threaten the girls, one who was as young as 10 when they started talking, telling them he would “ruin them” and that “whores deserved to be exposed”.

Amarasinghe’s offending began in 2018 and continued until 2020 when he was arrested at a home in Doveton that September following an investigation by Australian Federal Police.

He pleaded guilty to 25 child abuse material offences relating to six girls aged 11 to 17, including four in the United States, one in the United Kingdom and one in Australia, from November 2018 to June 2020.....
