Wisconsin’s attorney general is reminding people that there is help available to try and prevent sextortion cases.
A-G Josh Kaul yesterday said his Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force has a video that can help young people understand the dangers of online sextortion cases. Sextortion is when someone gets nude pictures or videos, and then threatens to release them if they don’t get more nude or money. Kaul says often times the extortionists are from Africa or the Philippines. Kaul says learning about online safety ahead of time is the best protection that young people can get.
