Financially Motivated Sexual Extortion (FMSE)

The National Crime Agency has launched a communications campaign aimed at teenage boys tackling financially motivated sexual extortion (FMSE).

About the campaign

FMSE, commonly known as ‘sextortion’ involves people being forced into paying money or meeting another financial demand, after an offender has threatened to release nude or semi-nude photos or videos of them. 

This month-long campaign will focus on raising awareness among teenage boys across the UK about what FMSE looks like and where to find help.

Campaign assets

Please find attached a toolkit which provides everything you need to promote the campaign with teenage boys, including suggested social media posts and links to ready-to-use assets (animations and static ads). 

We’ve also developed guidance for parents and carers, with advice on how to recognise FMSE and how to support children. This is available to download from the CEOP Education website  Please find below some suggested accompanying copy targeting parents:
