The story
What it's about
The Hunt for the Sextortionists is an investigative documentary series about digital blackmail, called sextortion. The program's host Milton was involuntarily involved in a sextortion case six years ago when someone misused his identity to blackmail young girls with nude photos on Snapchat. Milton now opens up about his own case to find out what happened then, and whether the real perpetrator was ever found. At the same time, he investigates who are victims of sextortion today, what consequences it has, and who is behind it.
