    The woman at the centre of the Jevon McSkimming scandal isn't confirming or denying whether she wrote a tranche of emails demanding money

    The woman at the centre of the Jevon McSkimming scandal isn't confirming or denying whether she wrote a tranche of emails demanding money


    In December, the former Deputy Police Commissioner received nine months home detention for possessing questionable material.

    Emails obtained by the Herald suggest McSkimming was being asked for money between February 9 and 18, 2024.

    Herald Reporter Michael Morrah says one email states the sender wanted 600-dollars for every time they were deceived into performing any sexual act.

    He says several of the emails were sent from the same address as emails referred to being from Ms Z in the IPCA report.
