Yailin La Más Viral seeks RD$50 million following alleged blackmail
Dominican urban artist Jorgina Guillermo Díaz, known professionally as Yailin La Más Viral, has filed a criminal complaint seeking RD$50 million in damages following alleged blackmail involving intimate videos. According to her legal representation, the artist was subjected to threats regarding the public release of sexual content and threats against her life, which led her to pay RD$300,000 to the perpetrators.
The lawsuit claims the incident caused significant material, moral, emotional, personal, and social harm. In addition to the requested compensation, the legal team is seeking the return of the RD$300,000 paid under duress.
In a related development, the Tribunal de Atención Permanente del Distrito Nacional has ordered three months of preventive detention for José Joel Matos Nin. He is identified by authorities as a suspected member of the extortion structure targeting the artist. Matos Nin will serve his detention at the Najayo Hombres Correction and Rehabilitation Center while the Public Ministry continues its investigation.
