Abstract: A global study on the prevalence of sexual extortion — the practice of using a sexually explicit photo or video to blackmail a victim for financial, sexual, or other resources — found that the practice was much more widespread among adults than previously believed. The study was led by the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology and Google and surveyed more than 16,000 people across Australia, North and Central America, Europe, and Asia. The study found that one in seven adults admitted to being the victim of sexual extortion.
