 Sextortion in Scotland
Crimestoppers have launched a powerful new campaign across Scotland to help protect young people from harmful sextortion.
Sextortion is a developing threat and a relatively new form of online blackmail. It’s where criminals threaten to share nude or semi-nude photographs of their victim if money isn’t paid or the victim fails to comply with some other harmful demand. The image may be a real photo taken by the victim or a fake image that the criminal has created to pursue blackmail.
The Fearless campaign has information for young people but also information for adults who look after or work with young people.
Get ready for a festive musical treat!
Join the Angus Instrumental Music Service Christmas Showcase Concert on Wednesday 18 December at 7pm for a chance to hear our incredible talents of our young musicians perform a seasonal musical celebration.
Tickets available on Eventbrite.
