(Pittsburgh, PA) A representative from the nonprofit Pittsburgh Action Against Rape (PAAR) is now urging parents to look for signs of sextortion and talk with their teenagers about it. This comes after a recent incident in which according to investigators, at least twenty-one boys were catfished and sextorted after an eighteen-year-old Peters Township High School senior, Zachariah Meyers, pretended to be an adult film star from the Netherlands, with at least 14 teenagers sending pornographic pictures of themselves. William McGinnis, the director of education for PAAR, stated that some of the signs of sextortion are commonly associated with trauma.
