“#Sextortion case shows how abusers up the ante<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n

A Virginia man who was arrested and charged for\u00a0cyberstalking\u00a0a young woman\u00a0in connection with a sextortion scheme\u00a0followed a familiar pattern,\u00a0authorities said.<\/p>\n

The FBI\u00a0notes<\/a>\u00a0the man used social media<\/a> to contact the victim, a 20-year-old woman from Delaware County, Pa. He used\u00a0a false name and offered her \u201ca large sum of money\u201d to communicate on another messaging app<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The victim then engaged in a nude video chat. The man surreptitiously recorded portions of the video chat and then demanded $40 to delete a nude photo he had captured, according to the FBI.<\/p>\n

After sending the $40 via an online payment platform, he told the woman, \u201cYou\u2019re good lol.\u201d\u00a0However, that was just the start of his scheme.<\/p>\n

Following a familiar pattern of extortionists, he then demanded all of the money in her bank account.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn these messages, [the man] threatened to disseminate the nude photos of the victim to her college and other social media friends and followers if she did not pay him more money,\u201d the FBI explained.<\/p>\n

He then got more aggressive, claiming that an \u201cexpose page is being created right now and I\u2019m also going to tag your college\u2026I\u2019ll end you\u2026I\u2019m not someone you want to [expletive] with.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYour life is over,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The victim became distraught and took \u201ca number of\u201d prescription pills, the FBI said. As a consequence, she was rushed to an emergency room. She ultimately recovered.<\/p>\n

The man continued the alleged abuse while she was in the hospital,\u00a0\u201cadvertising\u201d nude photos of the victim using various online accounts.<\/p>\n

If convicted, the defendant faces a maximum possible sentence of five\u00a0years\u2019 imprisonment, three\u00a0years\u2019 supervised release\u00a0and a $250,000 fine.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you have been victimized, know that you are not alone and should not be shamed into silence,\u201d First Assistant United States Attorney Jennifer Arbittier Williams said in a statement. \u201cThese criminals are counting on your silence to get away with it; don\u2019t let them.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

In a separate advisory, the FBI\u00a0described<\/a>\u00a0how sextortionists have a template where they quickly up the ante, demanding more money or more content.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen the young person starts to resist requests to make more images, the criminal will use threats of harm or exposure of the early images to pressure the child to continue producing content,\u201d the FBI said.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
