Is there anything else that families should be able to look out for for sextortion? And are there any specific risk factors for that?
17:22
Well, statistically, based on the reports, we've found that male teenagers or preteens 12 to 13, 14, but into teenage years are the most likely to be sextorted.

Risk factors or red flags.
17:38
The one thing about sextortion is it happens so quickly.
17:41

to go and watch some of those videos because they've done an excellent job kind of portraying how these scenarios happen because they happen so quickly.
