Comic strip on sextortion

The French hotline Point de Contact (part of the French Safer Internet Centre) makes available to the public the comic strip "Jules films himself online" (in French: "Jules se filme en ligne").

This resource depicts the situation suffered by Jules: Jules is contacted online by a stranger who displays a photo of a young man he finds very attractive. Jules starts chatting with the stranger and receives a somewhat revealing photo from him. The stranger then asks Jules to film himself naked in front of the camera. Jules complies, but the next day, the stranger demands money, threatening to publish the video of Jules online if he refuses to pay. The comic highlights that in situations like this, it's important not to face it alone and to speak up. Readers are also informed that there are ways to have such content removed from the internet.

This educational resource is intended for dissemination among young people, their families, professionals, and all members of the educational community. Raising awareness about cyberviolence is a crucial component in the fight against such harmful behaviour. Reporting these cyberviolences - whether as a victim or as a witness - is a fundamental civic duty to which everyone is called to contribute.
