NRK recently said police are experiencing a large increase in inquiries from desperate girls and women who have experienced their names being posted on online nude photo forums.
– It has been especially in the last few days that we have received a lot of inquiries about it, Anita Kjønnøy, head of the online patrol in the Trøndelag police district, told NRK.
Now the police are also warning that several boys and men have recently been sexually blackmailed.
This happened after he was tricked into sending nude photos or masturbating on webcam to what appear to be girls of the same age.
– This applies to the whole country, says Kjønnøy.
Organized criminals
Police have recently received several requests from people from Trondheim between the ages of 14 and 35. There are said to be over ten surveys in which men are said to have been pressured for money after being induced into sexual activity on a webcam.
It appeared as requests from young women, but in reality it was from organized crime, police say.
At the end of the conversation, men and boys have received requests for money, threatening that the video will be shared with the entire list of friends if they do not pay.
– We fear there are a large number of blackouts and we find it shameful and difficult to talk about for those exposed to this, says senior police officer and specialist from Nettpatruljen in Trøndelag, Anita Kjønnøy.
