Regional information gathered by the FBI and US attorney‘s office supports the discussion related to the uptick of activity of sextortion in our area. A panel will explain what sextortion is and discuss some of the techniques and tactics used to sextort innocent minor victims that may slip into being trafficked.

Participants will learn about safety planning resources available for youth, parents and caregivers. Our goal is to provide information and education to empower youth who are vulnerable and at risk for exploitation. The effort is to develop a basic understanding of Human Trafficking and Sexual Exploitation and how to talk to youth about this crime and to share preventive strategies.

Co-sponsored by Franciscan Sisters Human Trafficking Committee and Olmsted County Victim Services.
