February 7 is Safer Internet Day.
The United States Attorney’s Office Southern District of Indiana is asking all law enforcement partners and media to join the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Indiana and the Indiana Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force in bringing awareness to the crime of financial sextortion. Financial sextortion is an online exploitation crime directed toward youth in which threats are used to demand money from the victim.
The goal is to highlight the issue of sextortion, specifically focusing on financial sextortion and the importance of children knowing they can always get help.
