Talking Beat: Investigating Online Exploitation and Sextortion
Thursday, 30 April, 2026
On this episode of Talking Beat, detectives from a specialized unit discuss their work investigating online child exploitation and the growing trend of sextortion cases targeting youth. These cases often involve individuals posing as peers to gain trust before using threats to demand money or additional images. Detectives emphasize the importance of prevention, early reporting, and open communication. Community members are encouraged to talk with youth about online safety and seek help immediately if something occurs.
