A brutal student tried to blackmail his former girlfriend out of £700 and force her into cleaning his flat by threatening to release their home made sex tape.
Feng Xiao, 21, even sent her snapshots of the video to prove his threat was serious, a court in New Zealand heard.
Xiao met his 20-year-old partner last year when they were studying at an English school in Auckland and they started dating.
But within months the relationship deteriorated and she fled the apartment they were sharing.
Days later she received threatening text messages from Xiao, who said that unless she coughed up NZD1400 (£700), he would put online a lurid video of her performing sex acts on him.
He also demanded she clean his apartment.
But his victim went to the police instead, admitting the movie had been made consensually, but insisting he had no right to make it public.
She also revealed Xiao’s violent past, detailing how he had slapped her and punched her during their troubled time together.
Once, in a row about her seeing other men, Xiao smashed a cup over her head, punched her in the stomach and even held a knife to her throat.
Xiao admitted three counts of assaulting a female, and a further charge of blackmail and will be sentenced later this month.
Judge Clare Ryan told the Auckland District Court Xiao needed to change his attitude: “He’s going to have to realise the rules of this country apply to him and everybody else,” she said.
