Jeremy ChingA duo orchestrated a ruse to portray their boarder as a paedophile and swindle him out of $10,000, a court has heard. On February 17 and 19 last year, Ching and Daisley tried to lure the victim into admitting he had a sexual interest in underage girls. As they tried to direct conversations to the subject of young females, Ching recorded the discussions on his cellphone. When they had what they believed were incriminating disclosures, Ching threatened to ''out him as a paedo'' unless he stumped up $10,000. Daisley vehemently denied she received any of the victim's cash but the judge ordered she repay the same amount.
