Teenagers trapped in webcam sex stings are being blackmailed by foreign “sextortion gangs”. At least four victims have killed themselves after webcam blackmailers tricked them into performing online sex acts.
The “sextortionists”, often based thousands of miles away in Africa or Asia, use stolen pictures and fake profiles to con people into thinking they are having genuinely intimate one-on-one video calls. These are recorded and victims are told footage of their sex session will be made public and sent to friends and family unless they send cash.
