Point de Contact (part of the French Safer Internet Centre) provides this practical guide on sextortion ("La sextorsion" in French).

This resource defines sextortion - a form of sexual blackmail often carried out using intimate or sexual images of the victim - based on the various articles of the French Penal Code prohibiting and punishing this type of practice.

After simplifying the relevant provisions of French criminal law to ensure accessibility and understanding, the practical guide outlines the appropriate reflexes to adopt in order to protect oneself and combat this form of cyberviolence, both for victims and for those who are witnesses.

Reporting this kind of situation and the people responsible for it is a fundamental civic responsibility, one that each individual is called upon to uphold.
