E12 Sextortion and Suicide

Brothers in Crime

In this episode the Brothers discuss an increasingly prevalent crime that’s claiming lives everywhere: Sextortion.

Unfortunately, many cases involve young men who ultimately take their lives as a result of the crimes perpetrated by evil people who are often several thousand miles away. The young women who are victimized often have explicit videos or pictures of themselves used over and over again to perpetuate these schemes. These young folks are kids. This crime is the horrible.

Please, listen to the stories of these victims and their families, and help educate the young people in your life about the evil that’s out there.

If you have been a victim of sextortion, you can call 1-800-CALL-FBI or report the crime online at tips.fbi.gov.
