Dear client, The girl can directly report to the police with charges of sexual assault, blackmail, criminal intimidation, and illegal taping. Blackmailing by threatening to release private videos is a grave offense. She must remember to keep all the evidence, such as messages, videos, and call logs. The cyber cell can also be approached with a complaint. The court may command arrest, ban video dispersal, and safeguard the victim. If you have any query please feel free to contact us.
