SUMMARY:Sextortion of adolescents: What recent research reveals 
DESCRIPTION:In today’s digitally advanced society\, children can access the online world with unparalleled ease. With a few clicks of a mouse or a swipe of a phone screen\, they can virtually connect with friends from the comfort of their bedrooms – and people can connect with them too.   \n\n\n\nSexual extortion\, or sextortion\, is a form of online blackmail in which someone tricks or coerces a person into sending sexual images of themselves\, then threatens to share the photos if the person does not comply with their demands – usually for more images\, payment\, or sexual favours. This scam has rapidly become a critical child safety issue\, with a recent Australian Institute of Criminology (AIC) study reporting that one in ten Australian adolescents said that someone had sexually extorted them for money or more intimate material.  \n\n\n\nOur March Brown Bag\, presented by Dr Heather Wolbers\, Principal Research Analyst at AIC\, will explore key findings from two new research reports examining adolescents’ experience of sextortion. The studies reveal the serious and varied short- and long-term effects of sextortion\, highlighting the support needs of victim-survivors and the urgency of targeted approaches to reduce this crime.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYour speaker \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr Heather Wolbers is a Principal Research Analyst in the Australian Institute of Criminology’s (AIC) Online Sexual Exploitation of Children Research Program. She has undertaken research within the fields of family and sexual violence\, the online sexual exploitation of children\, and serious and organised crime. Heather holds a Bachelor of Criminology and Criminal Justice (with Honours)\, a Bachelor of Forensic Science\, and a PhD in Criminology from Griffith University \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent details \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n26 March 2025 \n\n\n\nWednesday \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n12:30pm – 1:30pm AEDT / Sydney  \n\n\n\n11:30am – 12:30pm AEST / Brisbane time  \n\n\n\n9:30am – 10:30am AWST / Perth time \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOnline event \n\n\n\nvia Microsoft teams \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration \n\n\n\nThis event has already taken place.
