01 Beware of 'Sextortion'
At the beginning of her summer break in June 2005, a
15-year-old Florida girl logged onto her computer and
received a startling instant message. The sender, whom the
girl didn't know, said he had seen her photo online and that
he wanted her to send him pictures of her in the shower.
When the girl didn't comply, the sender showed he knew where
she lived and threatened to hurt the girl's sister if she
didn't agree to his demands.
