SNOHOMISH COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE- Sextortion


The Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office has announced the arrest of a 22-year-old Everett man for child pornography, cyberstalking and bomb threats. According to a Sheriff’s Office press release, “The suspect used the social media app, Snapchat, to communicate with young children locally and in the state of Iowa. He groomed and manipulated multiple child victims to send him sexually explicit photos and videos.”

This is sextortion, where an adult contacts a child online to convince them to send sexual pictures.
