Reality TV star Yanky Goldhaber clarified Monday that his earlier social media post stating 'I underwent rape' referred to a case of 'technological rape' — online extortion by a catfish impersonating a woman — and not to physical rape. He said he was extorted for intimate photos and threatened with exposure. In a follow-up post, Goldhaber said that while headlines yesterday rushed to report that he had been raped twice, his intention was to describe the online extortion rather than a physical assault. The Zioneer previously reported on Goldhaber's initial account of extortion and threats following an intimate online conversation. The clarification sought to correct the record after the earlier post generated widespread media coverage.
