What is sextortion?
Sextortion is a form of blackmail where someone threatens to distribute private, often sexually explicit, images or videos of a person unless they meet the perpetrator's demands.

Child Abuse Prevention Month has come and gone, but at the Children’s Advocacy Project, child abuse prevention is on the forefront of our minds no matter the month.
We are working year-round towards child abuse prevention, but when a child is devastated by abuse, we are here to provide comprehensive services to the child and their non-offending family members.
