41. 666devil: Could anyone become a victim of sextortion?


Listen Later

Matt Falder is the UK’s worst “sextorter”. A convicted serial sex offender, he used online accounts to blackmail over 40 victims into sending him naked photos, perform sexual acts and even getting one person commit rape.

He was also at the time, a Cambridge University student and one of the Bad People team shares their story of coming face to face with him.

Dr Julia Shaw and Sofie Hagen discuss how the online world has created a new type of crime that targets and exploits young people in the most horrific way possible.
