In a time where everyone owns a smartphone and has internet access, sexting with minors has become a hot-button issue. Anyone can create an online profile and cultivate a fake identity. Some have found a way to bait and lure unknowing users into an extortion scam that culminates in criminal charges (or threatened charges).
Many of our clients who face sexting charges explain that they met someone online who had initially lied about being an adult and then willingly exchanged nude images, only to reveal that he or she is a minor. This type of scenario is a classic breeding ground for sexting charges. Often, there are follow-up messages from a person claiming to be the minor’s father, threatening to expose you for sexting with a minor, and asking for money in exchange for your protection. As fearful as you may be, it is possible that you have fallen prey to an extortion-related scam.
