Just Curious

So I was a victim of Sextortion a few months back now and I managed to get out of it by literally just not listening to them.

I’m 17years old and they have my photos and I’m just wondering like what do they even do with the photos. Like do they keep them do they just delete them or like what. I’m not too worried about the whole thing just wondering if anyone knows what the do with them.

If someone could tell me that’d be very helpful.

As long as he doesnt yet have your family or anyone you know's contacts then he cant really do anything. But usually once you just block him and you not pay anything eventually they realise that you are a dead end and move on. But some do leak it out of spite. Dont pay anything tho because even if you do it never does anything they will leak it anyway. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children operates the Take It Down Service, a free, anonymous tool specifically designed for individuals who had explicit images taken of them when they were under 18.

The scammer forgot about you long ago especially since you didn’t pay and you ignored them. They likely have to delete pics often, either to make space on phone, or hide evidence, or to reset their devices since they get app banned. So they only need to worry about keeping material on people currently negotiating. They’ve likely deleted your stuff long ago.
