Detectives launched an inquiry after it was revealed the explicit video was being shared on social media.
The 15-year-old girl at the centre of the sex tape storm was among the guests at a party held in Edinburgh city centre for the Floyd Mayweather – Manny Pacquiao fight.
It is claimed the teenager questioned by police uploaded a picture of the footballer and three girls on to Twitter and told the player he would tell the club about the party if he was not paid £4,000.
It’s understood detectives visited the teenager at his home in north Edinburgh on Monday night, reports the Daily Record.
The Record have not named the footballer and a boxer who also attended the party on Saturday night because it is understood they were unaware of any illicit activity.

Filmed: On Sunday evening, the video was shared across social media The girl was filmed by several people having sex with an older man.
On Sunday evening, the video was shared across social media.
Concerned members of the public alerted the Daily Record to the video and images of the naked girl on the internet.
A source close to the girl said: “The flat was rented for the guys, who call themselves the Flame Gang, to watch the boxing.
“A whole load of girls were also invited but most of them were about 15.
“A lot of drink was taken and the girl herself said she didn’t know she was being filmed. It’s outrageous.
"Loads of them had their phones out taking pictures and videos of them in the bed.”
Yesterday the girl, who we cannot name for legal reasons, was still receiving online abuse.
She was subjected to vile name-calling by supporters and friends of the sports stars involved. A police source said last night: “Everyone we can trace who was at the party will be spoken to.
“We would be remiss in our duty to this child if we didn’t question everyone present. It’s a serious investigation with implications for those directly involved.”
