Detective Inspector Lavery said: “The sentence passed down today to Mr McKeever relates to his role in blackmailing a vulnerable woman between January 2023 and April 2024.
“Mr. McKeever was in possession of intimate images of the victim, he used these to blackmail her out of a large sum of money.
“It was a distressing ordeal for the woman involved and she was left feeling intimidated and extremely scared. I hope today’s sentencing provides some reassurance to her and to the public.
