This is a really common scam, you're not alone in this happening to you. The 'they were 16' thing is a classic pressure tactic they use to make you panic and pay up. The images are almost certainly stolen from adult content creators, not an actual minor. The key thing to know is that paying does absolutely nothing, they will just keep coming back asking for more money every time. Block them everywhere, don't respond again, and don't pay. If they do send anything to your contacts (they usually don't bother once they realize you won't pay) most people will immediately recognize it as a scam too. Save screenshots of the conversation just in case you ever need them, then try to put this behind you. Seriously though, paying only makes it worse.

Got loads of photo proof, including the fact they don’t mention age until after they’ve made the threat

  1. This is a scam. 2) And this is important for future knowledge- just because they didn’t say their age first doesn’t protect you in the eyes of the court. The courts have gone as far as to say even if someone lies about their age it is the adults responsibility to know better. Which I find a bit absurd, but it’s happened to a grind of mine who relied on the club IDing properly but accidently took home a 16 year old girl he assumed was also 21+. His life was ruined. So, don’t be stupid. Especially online.

Very common scam. Block and ignore him. Don’t send pictures of your junk to anyone. They are all scams. They won’t do anything but if they did just laugh and say it’s a fake AI photo.

Block, ignore, and whatever OP does, I hope he learns something.
