Hello Alexandra, The Victim in this sentence is without context, this means that we don't know who the victim is without further information. Victim is often used to indicate that there is a 3rd party who are being taken advantage of, or manipulated, in this case I would guess financially. I have seen the original document that this sentence came from and the exercise is to underline Participle 1 and Participle 2 and translate into Russian, I see this as the only source, so it's not possible to understand the full context of the victim in this case.
