I’m sorry to be indiscreet on this touchy subject, but it appears that this terrible matter is beginning to become a problem for an increasing number of men of varying economic and academic backgrounds, getting caught up in what appears to be a sting operation that could potentially mark them for life. I have seen families fall apart and men who have to move to a different town and even acquire a new identity. This is most likely the first time you’ve heard of this topic, and what follows as you read may not have any direct relevance to you. In fact, you could even be a woman and this story is about men preparing online.
If, as I hope, this topic is completely foreign to you, please pass this note on to other men you know and care about. You could be doing them a big favor.
We hear a lot about young girls being groomed on the internet by older men. This is, of course, one of the most disturbing topics related to using the Internet. However, what we don’t hear, and what you’re about to discover as you read on, is the ease with which men, of all ages, are being treated by women over the Internet, and their photos, videos and personal data. and then it is distributed on websites of a certain nature all over the world.
In short, there are some free forums on the internet for people to chat about anything and everything. Naturally, these forums tend to be seen as “meeting places” where people talk to strangers, exchange ideas and seek relationships, virtual or otherwise. You can usually join one of these forums for free and start chatting right away.
For many people, chatting online is just another way to unwind from the day’s tasks by having a relaxing conversation with other online chatters. Most of the online chat places are friendly places, but sometimes, as you will discover, they can be very dangerous. Male chat room users should be especially aware that some of the more popular chat rooms are home to some very dangerous predators who use chat rooms to threaten and extort male users.
These dangerous predators I am talking about are believed to be women who have conspired to groom men and then blackmail them.
Is that how it works:
The predator would start a pleasant conversation with his victim and convince her to move the conversation to another chat site to make it more difficult to trace his identity. They will then persuade their victim to perform compromising acts, fully nude, in front of a webcam.
Unbeknownst to its victims, the predator will capture the video, save it on your computer, edit it, and then post it on hundreds of websites, the nature of which is obvious.
But there is still something worse to come. The way the operation appears to work is as follows: initially, the woman will search for her victim. You will try several men before you find one who seems naive when it comes to using the internet. Predatory women do not look for perverts or men who are regular visitors to certain types of websites, as these men tend to be much more suspicious and much more discreet.
Instead, they look for easy prey. Your typical victim will be a school teacher, a dentist, or a police officer. The initial conversation will be very innocent. It tends to be about work, family, location, etc. Without suspecting anything, the victim usually reveals the names of their children and the name of the company they work for. Naturally, once they have given this type of information, men become even more confident.
It is a psychological thing that sharing personal information accelerates the feelings of trust that we feel about our partner in the conversation. Then the woman talks about herself and surprise surprise turns out that she and her victim have a lot in common.
Both of you may feel a bit lonely, you both may have some marital difficulties to work out, and you are both likely to long for love and affection. Neither of them, of course, will contemplate having an affair primarily because of their loyalty to their family.
At the suggestion of the predatory woman, the conversation will move to a private chat program such as Yahoo Messenger or MSN Messenger. This will break the ‘continuity of evidence’. While in public chat, the parties can be tracked relatively easily via their account registration details. This will be an almost impossible task with a private chat program. Moving from one chat show to another will also break the link between grooming and the shocking action that will follow.
The conversation will continue in the private chat program and will become more and more personal until it becomes purely suggestive.
Eventually, the victim will be encouraged to perform a compromising act on herself, in front of the camera, so that the predator, whose job is almost done, can “see, participate and enjoy.” Once the act of compromise is concluded, the chat will come to an abrupt end, by the predator simply turning off the program on its end.
What happens next is very interesting and is probably beyond most people’s understanding.
After the video conversation that was completely recorded by the predator on his computer, he will compile several video clips and give them titles such as’ John Smith From 91 Cleveland Lane Road, London, A GP and Child Molester Fxxxg himself in front of School Children ‘as well as other similar colorful comments. Then you will post these videos on various websites including YouTube and distribute them to many other websites around the world. The victim will wake up in the morning to a new reality.
You will first find an interesting email in your mailbox from an unknown email address with a short note from your predator and a video attached. After watching the horrifying video, most victims will immediately conduct an internet search under their own name only to find that their worst fears have materialized. At this time, the links contained in the videos have gained so much popularity, especially after being distributed to the whole world through blogs and emails, that sometimes almost the entire first page of a Google search can be filled with links. to these videos, each time with a different title and comment. Quite a nightmare.
If the victim is married, you should now talk to your wife and explain how you allowed this situation to happen. This, as you can imagine, would be quite a challenging task in itself. It could be a matter of time before his employers find out, children, other family members, neighbors, business partners, or even some bullies who would believe that he is really a child molester or pedophile. At this stage, victims typically seek legal advice.
They want to know what would happen if, or rather when, certain people discovered these videos, particularly their employers. With most employers, it is a termination offense to discredit your organization. Naturally, when we speak to victims, many of them are in extreme shock. Before addressing any other issues that concern you, we as libel attorneys prioritize immediate removal of videos from various video hosting websites.
This could be done quite quickly but of course the sooner we act the better, because as time goes by the number of links tends to increase and so does the popularity of the videos as well as the number of people who copy. these videos. your personal computer and could potentially redistribute them in the future. However, removing these videos does not guarantee that they will not reappear in the future. It is important for victims to register with a monitoring system that operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to give early alerts of any future distribution of their compromising videos.
These videos could potentially make a comeback on the internet at any time in the next few years. In any case, with the internet, it’s all about speed, so the priority is to remove these videos from video hosting sites as quickly as possible.
I cannot say for sure what the precise motive behind the action of the predatory woman is, but having seen so many of these cases lately, I have no doubt that there is a system behind this operation and I am almost convinced that the predators do. make. this for money. In legal terms, all victims in such cases have a cause of action in court, particularly for violation of privacy.
Although legal action could eventually lead us to the identity of the predator, this would be very costly and will bring more unwanted attention to the matter and thereby further damage to the reputation of the victims. In cases like this, any publicity is bad publicity.
The police are unlikely to be willing or able to intervene, mainly due to lack of resources and the fact that victims choose not to file a formal complaint. I will let your imagination imagine the devastation this could cause to someone. I have seen male victims change their name and move to a different city to avoid detection. I also witnessed families falling apart and men feeling suicidal after their participation as victims in this operation.
Legally, little can be done to go back in time. No level of compensation will persuade any sane man to take such a matter to court. Sometimes keeping your head down is the best advice to take. What remains is for us to spread the word, inform the public, and educate people to be more vigilant while chatting on the internet. You have to remember that the vast majority of men whose lives fall apart as a result of being groomed are innocent victims who perhaps were guilty of being naive or even a little reckless, but they are certainly not sex offenders or perverts and they are not unworthy of the chain. perpetual potential that they may have to fulfill day after day.
Most people would agree that it is important to educate both adults and children about some of the dangers of internet chat. These are the dark sides of our new global society and they are not likely to just go away. Only by having people like you pass this information on to others can we make the Internet a safer place for both ourselves and the next generation.
