Okaloosa County sheriff's office patrol vehicle

SHALIMAR, Fla. — A Georgia resident who demanded a local woman pay him $1500 to stop him from sending nude pictures of her to people on Instagram has been charged by the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office with extortion, a second-degree felony, and using a two-way communication device to facilitate a felony.

According to a Sheriff’s Office report, Gregory Wright, 18, of Griffin Georgia, was taken into custody January 2 after an investigation by the OCSO revealed he made the demands and initially accepted $200 from the victim.

Investigators with the OCSO confirmed Wright demanded more money, and when it did not arrive, acted on his threat, sending the victim’s nude images to other individuals on Instagram.

The victim says the photos and a video were taken when she was 16 years old.
