Jailed: Zahid Akram :PA
Father-of-two Zahid Akram threatened that two teenage victims would be raped unless they sent him more extreme pictures
A teacher who blackmailed girls into sending him naked pictures has been jailed for six years.
Father-of-two Zahid Akram, 37, used a dozen fake identities pretending to be young men online.
Akram would get victims to pose in undies and then force them to go further.
He threatened that two teenage victims would be raped unless they sent him more extreme pictures.
Prosecutor David Sapiecha told Exeter crown court : “He hunted them down.”
Akram, of Redditch, Worcs, admitted blackmail and causing or inciting a child to pornography.
Girls in Lyme Regis, Dorset, where he taught physics, were not targeted.
His lawyer Lawrence Wilcox said Akram had marriage problems and was attracted by the prospect of “control and escapism”.
