The Third Talk’s John Van Arnam was interviewed by Fox News regarding “Sextortion Scams” where young people are asked to send nude photos of themselves to predators and are then extorted for favors or money.
“We, as adults, are just becoming comfortable enough with the understanding that this is happening to all of our children,” said Van Arnam. The video goes on to state that 1 in 4 victims of sextortion are younger than 13 years old, and that 2 in 3 victims are girls threatened before 16 years old.
