NSPCC Learning has published a Helplines insight briefing on young people’s experiences of online sexual extortion, or ‘sextortion’. Drawing from contacts to Childline and the NSPCC Helpline in 2023/24, the briefing explores: how sextortion occurs and how it can escalate;the impact on young people’s mental wellbeing;how to spot the signs;and how to talk to young people who may be at risk. It also provides guidance for reporting and preventing incidents of sextortion.
