POLK COUNTY, Fla. (CBS12) — An OnlyFans model became the target of harassment from a Florida man after a transaction involving intimate photos and a ring, culminating in an alleged chilling message featuring a firearm.
The Polk County Sheriff’s Office said that the situation began after 41-year-old Rickey Collins purchased intimate photos from the model on the popular site OnlyFans, offering a ring as payment.
The report states that on May 16, Collins demanded the return of the ring, insisting that the victim meet him in person.
Despite her attempts to resolve the situation by leaving the ring at a specific location, officials say that Collins refused to accept that arrangement and demanded that she return it in person.
According to the report, things escalated when Collins sent a photo of himself brandishing a firearm, threatening to show up at her home in a few minutes.
