The best way to stop yourself from becoming a victim is to be very careful about who you befriend with online, especially if you’re considering sharing anything intimate with them. This can make the victims feel extremely ashamed and embarrassed and, tragically, here in the UK at least four young men have taken their own lives after being targeted in this way.īoth men and women can be victims of this crime, either by being blackmailed or by being coerced into carrying out sexual acts.
These webcam videos are recorded by the criminals who then threaten to share the images with the victims’ friends and family. These women may have been coerced into these actions using financial incentives or threats. Many people use webcams for flirting and cybersex - but sometimes people you meet online aren't who they say they are.Ĭriminals might befriend victims online by using a fake identity and then persuade them to perform sexual acts in front of their webcam, often by using an attractive woman to entice the victim to participate.
