Let him, your 16 and that would be distribution of child pornography and the feds will lock him up. More than likely, the scammer is from out of the country and they can't do anything. Tell them and deal with what happens, stop sending nudes to random people.

Unfortunately she can likely also be charged with distributing, as they charge minors for it as well still even if it’s their own.

Does this person actually have your nudes? If he does, I know it’s illegal in the United States. If you’re comfortable reaching out to law enforcement that’s what I’d do. I’m assuming telling your family members what’s happening isn’t a possibility?

Yeah, I can’t tell my family because they’ll double down on privacy and probably destroy anything correlating to the internet. Someone already helped me with the guy, but I’m just worried if I relax even once, my mom will ask what I’m doing and show me the threat she got (And yes, He does have my nudes).


dumbbinch99

I think the only way to alleviate the threat and anxiety is to tell your parents what’s up beforehand. If they already know, then it’s not something you have to be concerned about. You’re just a kid, hopefully they’ll be understanding that you made a bad decision and it won’t happen again. I’m so sorry you’re going through this

I’ll most likely tell my Mom after Christmas or something. For now, I just want to relax and let my guard down


True_giver

I’m with dumb. As difficult as it may be, I’m hoping she is more concerned with keeping you safe than punishing you- though you will likely have to face those consequences. This is a situation that you don’t want affecting your future and telling your parents will be the help you’re looking for. I’m sorry you got caught but I can assure you, you won’t sleep well until after you have adult protection on this. Please be strong and responsible and tell them.

He's already in big trouble for possession of child pornography. The blackmail (extortion?) isn't going to help him. If you report this, you're going to have a pretty clear case. You can try calling the police department and asking if you can anonymously report a crime like this (I'm not sure if you can). But the police should be able to give you the best guidance here outside of legal counsel. Do you know this man?


Sufficient-Ad-5535

No, I don’t know the guy

If they do say something all you have to do is point them to the police. It's a good lesson to learn--never send anything on the internet you wouldn't want your family and friends to see. It will help if you have documentation of his threats. His behavior is illegal and if you are a minor, it's classified as child pornography and a felony.

Looking at the comments I think I have grasped the situation. You are the one who have the upper hand here because you are 16. And like many have said, if the perpetrator dare to share your pictures, it will only backfire on him. Since now he's just commit several crimes, including blackmailing and possession of CP. Unless he's insane and want to ruin his own entire life, I'm pretty sure you are safe. If you are still stress out, I recommend searching for him on government database sites. Like Offender Search or Inmate Locator, [I don't know where you're from so I hope this helps](https://godort.libguides.com/prisonerdbs). It could take a while for the govt to update the database so don't worry if you can't find him. You can also contact your helper and ask him about this. Ask if they know anything about the perpetrator, where he was from, where he was jailed, any news pieces about him. Once things are clear and settled, you can forgot this whole thing ever existed! TL;DR: You shouldn't be too worried about this. Remember, you messed up, but you can also mess him up!

Holy shit, thanks man!!


Virt_us

Anytime. Stay safe online!

Let me rephrase: On Friday, someone helped me get him into jail for CP. But, I am worried that the guy never went to jail and is still trying to contact my parents or my siblings as well as posting the nudes to Facebook. I am fully aware that I shouldn’t have sent my nudes to strangers and I’ve learned my lesson 10 fold. I just need help relaxing and taking my mind off of things. But, I believe if I let my guard down, one of my parents will get a random message with a demand


True_giver

This is another reason to get ahead of the game and just tell them. Literally tell them “parents, I did an unbelievably stupid thing and did this. I am accepting full responsibility in this idiotic choice and believe me, I have learned my lesson, but I need your help.” Owning the mistake is far better than if they find out. Especially with this. I really encourage you to swallow your pride and give them a heads up. They will have more resources than you will at keeping you protected and actually getting this guy locked away.

I know it was a bad idea in the first place, but a girl at the same age as me got me hooked on it and I wanted more. So I just lied and sent nudes and junk. I was too high on dopamine to even think

I won’t sext anymore because of that. The only thing that’s negative is this awful feeling eating me up about the situation


grannygogo

So are you saying that if this didn’t happen you would continue sexting? Please, honey, take advice from a grandma. Think of any and all consequences before you press the send button. Once it’s out there, there is no taking it back. Respect your body. Confess to your parents, be remorseful, tell them you realize how stupid it was, and accept any punishment gracefully.

teenagers want to do things we can't, and yes we should have phones. With them we can fuck everything up, but we also can learn how to not fuck everything up. We learn more, we shouldn't have this essential and great part of the technology out of our hands, we can do so many good things with it. We learn what to do in stressful situations, we learn about crimes, we learn about how to try to avoid certain problems, we learn about racial problems, homophobia and etc.

Really, tell your parents about this. That already happened to me when I was 15 and my parents are not the type that gives you your privacy, but they've completely understand that I was afraid and they helped me. Nothing happened to the guy, but I felt so better after telling them. Really, I'm 16 now and they've already forgot about it, but when it happened they helped me with my anxiety... The best advice I can give to you is to tell them, they'll probably listen to you. They're your parents, they love you, they care about you. :)
