Group Uses Naked Mole Rats to Promote 'Sextortion' Awareness

Posted by Chauncey Koziol on Thursday, August 8, 2024

One advocacy group thinks pictures of naked mole rats could help end a big problem.

That big problem? Sextortion. It's where a person online uses a victim's nude photos as blackmail to get explicit pics, videos or even money.

 In the past two years in Canada, sextortion cases involving young boys rose 89 percent.

And a study found 71 percent of victims targeted in the U.S. were minors in the cases it looked at.

But this is clearly an issue that goes beyond one gender — and a problem that probably won't go away anytime soon. So education (and maybe humor) could be key in preventing it.
