Thank you for this warning. This kind of extortion bullshit is why i am reluctant to risk going to AC, and probably stay in Manila. I beleive the girl tipped off the cops of your friend being a weak target...even if he did not use presripction, they've used excuses like she was underage etc... so it probably doesn't matter after you are marked as a target.
How can bros guard ourselves against this extortion bullshit? There is no perfect answer. The only thing i can think of, is DO NOT tell the girl your hotel and room #, and
seize her mobile phone or battery so she cannot contact anyone until after she has left. If she cannot communicate your hotel and room number, then the corrupt cops cannot come to your hotel. I've actually done this my first time in Jakarta because i was worried about Scams, and the girl let me hold onto her phone. She thought i was wierd, but i rather her think that than risk one of these scams in AC.
If bros have any other idea how to protect against girl tip-offs please share.
