Sextortion: Blackmail with Nude Photos and Video Recordings

Print

“It started innocently – chatting, compliments, a bit of flirting. Then came the video chat… and the next day, I received an email with a recording of myself. They demanded money or threatened to send it to all my contacts.”

Sextortion, or blackmail using intimate images, is one of the most aggressive and sensitive forms of online fraud.
Scammers often pose as attractive individuals on social media, encourage flirtatious chats, video calls, or ask for photos.
Once they obtain compromising material, they demand money in exchange for silence.
The fear of shame or exposure leads many victims to pay – and that’s exactly what the scammers count on.

Sextortion combines elements of blackmail (§ 175 of the Czech Criminal Code), unauthorized handling of personal data, and invasion of privacy (§ 182). In some cases, it may even include distribution of pornography or child exploitation if minors are involved.
Although offenders are often based abroad, filing a criminal complaint still makes sense – it can lead to blocked accounts, domain takedowns, and sometimes international cooperation.
An experienced lawyer can handle the situation discreetly, effectively, and with empathy.

📌 Typical Signs of a Sextortion Scam

  • The conversation starts with flirting or sexual undertones

  • A fake profile is used (e.g., attractive woman or man)

  • Requests for intimate photos or a video chat

  • Hidden screen recording or use of your shared content

  • Threats: “I’ll send this to your friends, family, or coworkers”

  • Demands for payment (often in cryptocurrency)

  • Pressure to act quickly – “pay within one hour or I’ll publish it”

⚖️ Possible Criminal Charges

  • Blackmail (§ 175) – demanding something under threat

  • Violation of secrecy of correspondence and recordings (§ 182)

  • Unauthorized handling of personal data (§ 180)

  • Distribution of pornography (§ 191 and following) – including threats of distribution

  • Child pornography offenses (§ 192) – if minors are targeted

🧾 What to Prepare as Evidence

  • Screenshots of communication and threats

  • The scammer’s email, profile, or contact information

  • Details about what was shared (and if possible, direct evidence)

  • Any payments made, transfer records, or crypto addresses

  • A list of people the scammer threatened to contact

  • Psychological impact – this can also support your case

❗ The Risk and a Call for Courage

Most victims stay silent out of shame – and that’s why scammers keep going.
It’s time to break the cycle. Even if the offender is abroad, a well-written complaint can help stop them.
You’re not alone. This is more common than you think – and it’s not your fault.
