There might be more young people caught up in what is called “Sextortion” than you realize. “Sextortion” is generally defined as convincing a victim to send a nude photo of themselves, then demanding they pay hundreds of dollars or else the criminal will spread the photo to family and friends.

Curtis talks more about sextortion and what is facing our youth today in Community Perspective. Tune in tomorrow morning at 8:04 for part two of the conversation.
