AB Sexual extortion of children is a growing global issue in which a perpetrator threatens to distribute intimate material of a victim unless they comply with certain demands. This study systematically reviewed research into the impacts of sexual extortion victimisation on minors. Twelve studies were included, which varied methodologically. Victims of sexual extortion who are under the age of 18 experience diverse short- and long-term impacts, including psychological harm, socio-environmental impacts, financial costs, risk of ongoing victimisation, and offending and criminal justice involvement. These findings support targeted approaches to reduce sexual extortion of minors, while also highlighting the support needs of victims.
