What Is Sextortion?
Sextortion is a serious crime that has become more prevalent in recent years due to the rise of online platforms. Perpetrators use these platforms to develop relationships with their victims, often under pretenses, before demanding sexually explicit material. The use of these materials as leverage for more demands is alarming and can leave victims feeling powerless and traumatized. The threat of releasing the images or videos only adds to the pressure and fear that victims experience, making it difficult for them to seek help or speak out. It is vital for individuals to be aware of the signs of sextortion and to seek support if they are experiencing it themselves. Let us work together to stop the perpetrators of this heinous crime and support those affected by it.
