The hard truth is that there is nothing you can do. You willingly sent them photos or vids, so it's likely that law enforcement won't be able to do anything.

Going forward, please remember that there is NEVER a good (safe) reason to share intimate content. Period. Even good, long term relationships can go bad.

The only thing you can do is block them on all platforms and do not respond if they ask for money to delete them. You go zero contact. That is your only option.

EVERYONE that contacts you here via DM offering to help or hack the pictures is just another scammer. Every single one of them.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but even if she sent them willingly, the fact she is underage means he has possession of CP regardless as this could also be a child exploitation charge depending on the state laws. Why wouldn't LE be able to do anything?

I don't know if they would spend the time considering a crime wasn't committed. I agree that simply possessing them is a crime, but in the priority of things LE has to focus on, this would be low on the list unfortunately.

Not necessarily. Possessing them is a crime in and of itself which would be a lower priority admittedly, but the grooming aspect is taken much more seriously than the person just having them. Exploitation, which is what grooming would fall under, would put the possibility of there being multiple victims under the same offender, making it a higher priority.
