Blackmailed with Threats to Send Video to Family | QOTD

Carter Law Firm

Question of the Day: What do I do if someone unknown is posting my private video to my family members on their chat on Facebook? They’re is asking for money and has a list of all my contacts. What if I don't give him any money?

This sounds like a situation involving blackmail, extortion, and possibly revenge porn. In addition to reporting the situation to Facebook, it appears that contacting the police or law enforcement would be appropriate.

If legal questions were easy, we wouldn’t need lawyers.
