Join us on October 20th in West Bend, WI at The Bend Theater as we present AS THE CASE UNFOLDS: A Sextortion Scam in Real Time…an immersive educational experience that walks audiences through a sextortion scam as it unfolds in real time, helping them recognize warning signs, understand the tactics offenders use, and know exactly how to respond. We’ll also cover the grooming process in-depth as this is the common thread predators use to scam their victims.
We are excited to participate in The Bend Theater’s Lecture Series on Tuesday, October 20th.
This presentation will bring the audience into the perspective of a victim of Sextortion; from first contact, through the grooming and manipulation process, and ultimately the fear, panic and shame a victim experiences when they realize they have been tricked and now facing consequences that they feel they are themselves responsible for.
Learn to recognize warning signs, understand how offenders manipulate and exploit young people online, and discover practical steps to protect yourself, your family, and your community.
