Catterick: North Yorkshire Police discussing the issues of Blackmail and Sextortion within the Military Community
PC 1310 Weatherstone attended Catterick Garrison Army HIVE on 05/04/2023 to engage with the Army HIVE team regarding any community issues they have had reported to them. Officers also discussed the rising issue of blackmail or ‘Sextortion’ which is being reported to the police and how the Police can best support the Military communities affected by this crime.
'Sextortion' is a form of blackmail. It involves threatening to publish sexual information, photos or videos about someone. This may be to extort money or to force the victim to do something against their will. Photos or recordings are often made without the victim realising or consenting. Criminals often target people through dating apps, social media, webcams or pornography sites. They may use a fake identity to befriend you online and then threaten to send images to your family and friends. Sextortion can be committed by individuals but organised crime gangs are usually behind it.

Managing Emergency Alerts on your phone to stay safe if you're experiencing domestic abuse

These alerts will be used to let you know about emergency situations (like severe flooding) through your mobile phone. However, the alert will be accompanied by a loud sound even if your phone is on silent.
If you live with an abusive partner this could alert them to any secret or secondary phones that you may have. Here's how you can turn alerts off, both on Android phones and on iPhones: Managing Emergency Alerts on your phone to stay safe if you're experiencing domestic abuse - YouTube
