During the legal proceedings, Aron was referred to as ‘victim 1’ and was identified as a ‘public-company CEO.’ The court learned that he had sent s*xual images to a person known as ‘Mia,’ whose real name is Sakoya Blackwood. These images included both himself and another woman.

Money Demand

35 year old Sakoya Blackwood admitted guilt in the summer for her actions and, in a comprehensive statement on a platform formerly known as Twitter, Aron disclosed that she demanded $300,000 to prevent the dissemination of the images.

He emphasized that instead of succumbing to blackmail, he decided to seek legal counsel and involve law enforcement, fully aware of the potential personal embarrassment. He stated, “But with my access to resources, if I did not stand up against blackmail, who could?”

Blackmail Plot

Blackwood employed various fictitious personas in her blackmail plot, including an alleged ex-boyfriend of the ballet dancer and a fabricated journalist. She pleaded guilty to cyberstalking in March and expressed deep regret for her actions against the married CEO.

After convincing Aron that she was his ex-girlfriend, on April 4, she messaged him with a request for his images. In response, the CEO sent multiple photos of himself and another woman.

On April 11, Blackwood introduced a new fictitious character, ‘Brian,’ posing as the ‘ex-boyfriend of Mia,’ and threatened to spread the images. She also warned Aron that she would send the material to all the members of his company’s board.

Furthermore, it was revealed that Blackwood posed as a reporter from Vanity Fair in an attempt to extort money from the CEO. Aron clarified that he did not make any payments to the woman.
