Sexting: are you a victim of 'sextortion'?

A GOLD Coast supermarket employee who had sex with a 15-year-old girl and filmed it without her consent will not spend a day in jail.

The videos were only found after Nicholas Elias Biazos, who was 21 at the time, tried to extort the girl with sexually explicit photos she had sent him when she was 14.

The girl only found out about the videos when police showed them to her during their investigations.

Biazos, now 24, pleaded guilty in the Southport District Court on Tuesday to three counts of carnal knowledge of a child and four counts of indecent treatment of a child.

Judge David Kent sentenced him to two years prison to be wholly suspended and placed him on two years probation.

Months later Biazos threatened to release the explicit photos if she did do as he said.

In March last year he was sentenced to seven months prison, wholly suspended, for the threats.

It was not until after that sentence Biazos was charged over the videos.

Mr Churchill said police knew about the videos prior to the sentence.

He said it was “operational convenience” that Biazos was not charged with the additional charges prior to the first sentence.

Judge Kent said he found that to be an “exceptional circumstance” meaning Biazos did not have to do actual time in prison.

Defence barrister John McInnes said Biazos was remorseful for his actions.

Mr McInnes said Biazos was shamed after he was named by the Bulletin for the extortion.
