News from WRAP: What is sextortion?
Sextortion: threatening to distribute someone’s sexual images, videos, or information in order to receive something of monetary value. This is a word that is slowly becoming unavoidable when we open our social media or news articles. It is common for us to say, “Oh, that doesn’t happen here,” or “That won’t happen to me or my kid.” The truth is that it IS happening here, and it could happen to you or someone you know. Although sextortion seems like a new term or is unfamiliar, it has made a very big impact on people in our communities’ lives. WRAP staff have attended multiple trainings on sextortion. It is not only something that is a big part of the service provider world, but also with law enforcement. Sextortion is illegal and is something that can be criminally charged.
