    Default Sexual Blackmail

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Indiana
    I am a thirteen, going on fourteen year old girl from Indiana and there is this seventeen, almost eighteen year old boy living in Pennsylvania who, for three months, was sexually blackmailing me. He was making me do things over skype and recording them, for what purpose, I have no idea. I realize that I have to tell my parents as soon as possible, but I felt that doing research first was the best idea. He convinced me that he deleted them, so I ran free. For three more months I was free from his rein when out of the blue he popped up and said he found them and was threatening to send them to the Indiana School Board. I have three questions. My first is what would happen if he did send them? My second is what would happen to me if I took this to court(My parents are divorced, would one try to fight for custody from the other, and would I be labeled as a sex offender?)? And my third is what would happen to him and would the court favor my case?

    There is no legit purpose, so you have to assume it was for a "not good" reason.

    I realize that I have to tell my parents as soon as possible, but I felt that doing research first was the best idea. He convinced me that he deleted them, so I ran free.
    Even IF he deleted them, files deleted from computers aren't really "gone". They can usually still be recovered.

    For three more months I was free from his rein when out of the blue he popped up and said he found them and was threatening to send them to the Indiana School Board.
    So? If you've already told your parents, AND the police (which you NEED to be doing), it's really none of the school's business and they'll simply turn the matter over to your parents and police anyway. (Unless you were actually Skyping AT school, in which case the school won't be happy).


    I have three questions. My first is what would happen if he did send them?
    The school would notify your parents and turn them over to authorities.

    My second is what would happen to me if I took this to court(My parents are divorced, would one try to fight for custody from the other, and would I be labeled as a sex offender?)?
    You take it to police. It's up to police to take it to the courts. Would your parents be unhappy about you engaging in such activity? I'd suspect so. Would the non-custodial parent seek custody or accuse the other parent of not keeping proper tabs on you? Only your parents can answer that. The important thing is that the activity be STOPPED.

    And my third is what would happen to him and would the court favor my case?
    He would likely be facing criminal charges.

    You are being victimized by him, and threatened about things that HE, not you, are going to be facing trouble for. For your own sake and safety, it's time to blow the whistle and inform your parents and the police about his activities.

    In what fashion was he "making" you do anything? Disconnecting a Skype call is not a complicated thing.

    he found them and was threatening to send them to the Indiana School Board.
    And thinks the school board will do...what?

    My parents are divorced, would one try to fight for custody from the other,
    We don't know your parents and cannot predict what they will or won't do.

    and would I be labeled as a sex offender?
    Possibly. I'm sure you've heard of the girl here in Ohio who sent naked pics to her friends and was brought up on felony child porn charges. In Ohio, judges have discretion as to whether to order a minor to register. In her case, she did not have to.

    And my third is what would happen to him
    He could be charged with possession of child porn. Probably corruption of a minor. Possibly online solicitation of a minor for sexual purposes.

    and would the court favor my case?
    We can't make any predictions.

    What needs to happen now is that you need to tell your parents EVERYTHING.
