FBI warns parents they are seeing increase in number of sextortion cases involving minors across the country.
As the school year across the country winds down, the threat of online predators is on the increase, the FBI said.
Barnwell, according to the government, on a female-presenting profile, would tell minor girls that he was offering them a modeling job that paid thousands of dollars, with one catch: they had to send photos of themselves in sexually suggestive positions and poses. "We go to an arrest and we put them in handcuffs, we take his computer, we look at his computer and we don't find one victim. We don't find 10 victims. We find 100, 200, 500 victims," Herrick said.Herrick says they could be as young as 18 all the way up to grandfathers."All walks of life. They're doctors, they're lawyers. I hate to say they're policemen. They are people in positions of trust, they are coaches, they are teachers.
Herrick and his team work with partners in the The Violent Crimes International task Force from around the world to help identify victims and bring predators to justice.The parents of these children often times don't know that their child was the victim of sextortion.
