Greece Police are now investigating reports that an online predator tried to blackmail teenagers into posting explicit photos on social media.
This follows a warning this week from the Hilton Central School District about a similar predator trying to victimize students. State Police are investigating in that case.
The predators try to make the children believe they already have damning information which they’ll release if they don’t get the photos they want. A letter from Hilton Schools advises parents to contact authorities if they believe their child was targeted.
School districts in Wayne, Ontario and Yates counties have reported similar activity in recent months.
