In the wake of the death of a 12-year-old Prince George boy, the Kelowna RCMP is reminding the public about the dangers of sextortion.
Sextortion is the use of threats to extort money or sexually explicit favours from someone. In most cases, this happens on social media applications and online and in 2023 alone so far, the Kelowna RCMP has received more than 100 reports of online sextortion.
