Throughout the world, those in power extort vulnerable women and girls by demanding sex, rather than money. Victims have no choice but to comply. In the United States, this practice of “sextortion” has proliferated in the digital age.

“A Call to Action: Ending ‘Sextortion’ in the Digital Age," a new report released by Legal Momentum, the Thomson Reuters Foundation, and Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP, shines a spotlight on the growing threat of sextortion, and highlights how easy it is to infiltrate computers to record and steal sexual imagery. The report calls for public education to help prevent sextortion and provides concrete examples of revisions to existing criminal statutes in order to combat this rapidly developing crime.

We invite lawmakers, law enforcement, parents, teachers, and community advocates to learn about the growing threat of sextortion through this groundbreaking report and an official launch event to be held on September 21st at Roosevelt House in New York City.
