Follow
KPIX | CBS NEWS BAY AREA

The FBI says sextortion is a growing threat targeting minors. Sextortion involves an offender convincing a minor to create and send sexually explicit material, then threatening to release that material unless they receive payment. FBI San Francisco Special Agent in Charge Robert Tripp joins CBS News Bay Area's Elizabeth Cook to discuss how prevalent this is in the Bay Area, how offenders are connecting with minors, and what parents and caregivers can do about this. Then, Dr. Hilit Kletter, child and adolescent psychologist with Stanford Children's Health, discusses how these crimes can take a toll on the mental health of victims, and how to help if you suspect or know a young person who is a victim of this crime
