The police have charged 27-year-old higgler Richard Simpson, of a Portmore Villa address in St Catherine, after he allegedly hacked into a woman's social media account and posted inappropriate videos of her.

He has been charged with use of computer for malicious communication in relation to the incident which took place on Monday.

The Denham Town police say between 12:30 a.m. and 6:00 a.m., Simpson and the woman got into a verbal altercation.

The woman later realised someone had hacked into her social media account and posted inappropriate pictures and videos of her.

A report was made to the police, and Simpson was identified as a suspect.

After following several leads, detectives took Simpson into custody and charged him.

A court date is being arranged for him.
