Shillong: Renowned Shillong-based singer Lamphang Syiemlieh has publicly confessed to creating fake social media profiles using stolen photographs to engage in online relationships with multiple men.
In a detailed statement shared on social media, Syiemlieh admitted to operating fake accounts under the names “audreyas962” and “Lakysha A” on Facebook, using photographs taken without consent from a woman’s social media profiles. The singer revealed that for over 18 months, he had contacted numerous men, sending sexually explicit messages while impersonating someone else.
“I have contacted countless men, sending them sexually explicit messages, for the last year and a half,” Syiemlieh wrote in his confession. “I had consciously and deliberately stolen and abused this woman’s identity for my own sexual interests and gratification.”
