What legal steps can be taken for blackmail and exploitation?
A person from Instagram became friends with my 16-year-old daughter. He manipulated her, and she made the mistake of sharing a private video with him. After that, he blackmailed her into continuing to talk with him on call and chat on WhatsApp. Out of fear, my daughter shared many more videos. We discovered this after two months and immediately contacted the person, asking him to stop and delete the videos. However, he is not listening and is threatening to share and upload the videos on social media platforms if she doesn’t comply. Please advise us on what steps to take next.
Sir, file an FIR for blackmail and cybercrimes with the police. Charge the person for sharing obscene material. As your daughter is a minor, seek protection under relevant child protection laws. Send a legal notice demanding the deletion of videos. Consult a lawyer and consider counseling for your daughter. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
