As the world becomes more digitally connected, a single offender can now commit multiple, virtual sexual assaults without ever leaving home. Sextortion – the use of coercion to compel a victim to engage in some form of sexual conduct – has been steadily increasing over the years, and sometimes involves international actors and financial components. This presentation will address different forms of image-based victimization and its impact on survivors. We will discuss investigation and prosecution processes, including victim interviewing and evidence gathering, protecting victims during the court process, and addressing victim needs for physical safety and their mental health. Finally, we will discuss the need for parental education and community involvement to support survivors.
