The Canadian Centre for Child Protection receives about 200 sextortion reports per month, with most affecting boys between 10 and 17.
The sextortion cases are mainly occurring on digital platforms where children are spending their screen time. Phones, gaming consoles and computers by way of social media, gaming websites or video chat are often used by predators posing with fake accounts as girls of a similar age, deceiving boys into sending explicit photos or videos, say police. Offenders then typically threaten to release the photos unless the victim sends payment.
“Law enforcement agencies worldwide are joining forces to share resources and education materials to thwart sextortion scams, sexual exploitation and protect our youth from online predators. But we need your help. Unfortunately, thousands have fallen victim and it’s not enough to presume that ‘my child would never do that,'” added Cochlin.
