WHAT ARE EXTORTION, SEXTORTION, AND BLACKMAIL?
“Extortion” is when an individual attempts to obtain money or property by a threat. Usually, this will take the form of “blackmail,” where the extortionist threatens to release the embarrassing, damaging, or harrasing information to the public, family, or friends
“Sextortion” is a special kind of extortion where the individual specifically relies on sexual photographs, messages, or videos of the sender. Oftentimes, the individuals targeted are from groups susceptible to this extortion, who are seeking to keep their confidential information private.
Sextortion is a growing epidemic in the United States and globally, with thousands of cases reported each year, and many more which go unreported.
