Our kids have increasing access to the online world - but that also means the online world has increasing access to them. Sextortion is a serious crime that occurs when someone threatens to distribute private or sensitive material if a victim doesn't provide images of a sexual nature, sexual favors or money. This documentary provides an insider look into one of the largest sextortion cases investigated by Homeland Security and the Department of Justice on American soil - with ties to our area. Experts, parents and victims sound the alarm on the fastest growing cyber crime against children ever. Learn tactics and what can be done to stop online child exploitation in its tracks.
