Clydebank Woman Jailed for 15 Months in Online Blackmail Scam

A 29-year-old woman from Clydebank was sentenced to 15 months in prison for blackmailing a man out of over £6,350 in a fake pregnancy scam. Georgette Ravatte met her victim online, claiming to be pregnant with his child, and demanded money for pregnancy tests, clothes, and to keep quiet about the situation. She escalated the scam by threatening violence from a supposed cousin, leading the victim to hand over thousands in fear for his safety. Ravatte ignored court dates and was eventually arrested, with the judge imposing a prison term and supervision after release due to her criminal history and lack of remorse. This case serves as a warning about the dangers of online encounters and the importance of reporting threats early.
