Taken advantage of

Macygirl

A grown man has taken advantage of my 14 year old sister by forcing her to send inappropriate pictures and making her preform inappropriate gestures on FaceTime. He is threatening to put the pictures online with her information to ruin her life because she finally stood up to him.

Go to the Gardaí.

Exactly - go to them immediately, bring whatever evidence you happen to have.. Protect her.

Go to the police straight away. I am so sorry this happened to her and you.

Gather your strength and go straight away to the police.

Do it today.

Yep go to the police also there is a law(not sure about Ireland though) whereby it is illegal to put sexual pictures of another person online, that and she is 14 so what he is doing/ asking her to do is grooming and illegal....isn't it? Ps good for your sister for finding the courage to stand up to him- she now needs support from her family to get past this

If he has the pictures he is in possession of child pornography. Definitely go to the police.

OP I agree with the other posters here that you should go the the Garda about this. You and your sister should also speak to your parents and tell them what has happened.

Go to the Gardai now & bring the evidence that you have with you.

Hi OP,

the only person whose life is going to get "ruined" here is the man in question, and rightly so - he is using empty threats to try and manipulate your sister to continue sending images, and what he has done thus far is already highly illegal. Your first step should be to talk to your parents about what has been happening, and their first stop should be to call the police and let them follow up on it. I can assure you that neither you or your sister will get into trouble with your parents or the Gardaí - people like this man prey on people like your sister, and use fear in order to manipulate her.

For now, tell your family, and let them know that the police need to be involved. The computer or laptop that was used, please don't use it from here on in, as the police will more than likely want to take a look at it. They should also get independent legal advice from a family solicitor as this is a serious issue that they probably won't be able to handle alone from a legal point of view, and will need his or her advice.

Seeing that this is quite a serious legal issue, we are going to close the thread for now, but what you did - reaching out for help for your sister like that - is a very good thing. Now please follow the advice that everybody has laid out above, and see it through.

Regards,
Mike
