The internet has opened a world of opportunity for young people—but it has also created new dangers. One of the most alarming is sextortion, a form of online exploitation that disproportionately targets children and teens, often with devastating emotional and psychological consequences. As predators use social media and gaming platforms to manipulate and coerce youth, the urgency for awareness, early intervention, and prevention has never been greater. 

On this episode of Inside the Sweeps, we’re joined by Greg Hansen, Supervisory Special Agent with the San Diego FBI unit, to shed light on the growing threat of sextortion. We’ll explore how this crime impacts young victims and their families, the patterns law enforcement is seeing, and the critical steps being taken to stop it. Join us for an important conversation about protecting kids and confronting the realities of online exploitation
