how to deal with online blackmail?

[proudball651]

okay, this will be long, but i really need your help. i'm desperate

i have this problem since around 1st or 2nd grade of senior high (i was 16 at the moment, this year i'm turning 19) about a guy who live in Europe.
Back then i use this online live webcam chat for fun, i recklessly use it and just be friendly people i met there, even if it's kinda sexual, i just comply because at the moment, i have no idea about the consequences.

so one day i met this "girl" that ask me to "play" with her. the idea seems interesting for me, and i honestly did everything out of curiosity. i comply then i did some stuff (take off my pants and shirt and start to touch myself) when suddenly her video changed to a guy.
then this guy start to threat me. he said if i don't keep "playing" with him he will spread around my video.

I was so scared, i just say yes. after that incident, he ask for several "tickets" for having a "play" with me. this "play" include me touching myself for his satisfaction. after that one time, i do my best to omit my face from every video chat we did.
I trust him in hope he will delete the video (he promised that). and then he said, okay, we're done. then i block his msn. but not long after, he contact me through my facebook (i'm guessing he searched for my name), then threat me the same thing. saying "turns out that the video is still there, my brother saw it and i need to bribe him. don't you think i could get more ticket?"

the same thing happens again. we use skype this time. after we done with this one, and i block him, he contacted me on twitter. i was really at lost and so scared. i tried to ignore but he kept contacting me through many social networking media until i agree to do one "last"

but then just now, he sent me a message through skype with a new account. to accept his acc and do another one, or he will spread the link of my video.

here's the situation:
1. i was 16-18 during all of this. next september i'm 19.
2. no one knows about this, since here, sexual matters are somehow considered taboo and unproper.

what should i do? i tried ignoring, try to talk to him, threaten to call the police (but i never did since i don't know how and he's overseas. i'm in asia), and block every account, delete those, but none works. he still appear just now. (i have changed my skype to get lost of him)
and do you think he really have my video? or he's just bluffing?
what should i do?

please help
thank you.

just ignore him. The video is too blurry to recognize you, and there are plenty of these videos around, and they all look the same, so there is very little chance that somebody will recognize you. Even if somebody does see the video and recognize you, you can threaten to take them to police for watching child pron (since you were 16 back then)

You do have to change all of your social network accounts, at the same time. Delete old accounts, start new ones, do not use your real name, and only add the people you know.

1.- You should not have been doing that if you were 16 years old. If you needed sex, it would have been easier for you to get it, than showing on camera.

2.- You committed a mistake accepting his menace without even asking him to show you the video to see if he actually recorded it.

3.- You have two options, the easy way, and the hard way. You can simply ignore, and accept the advice of the other guy, most videos are blurry to identify you, and usually are all very similar, also it is illegal porn, and the guy would be very stupid to release that video, as he would easily be jailed for possessing illegal porn. YOu just forget about this and delete and block him from anywhere.

The hard way is to get all the information you can, and send it to the police, and multiple organizations and institutions that combat the child's pornography. Obviously this is the hard way, as this is not to close the case, but to make it harder to you, and probably some will know that you did it. Although this way you have the advantage that that guy will ever do that again, because he will go to prison.

But I find more simple to ignore it and forget it, if you really do not want people to know that you did it. It is almost impossible that they find you and recognize you on a video. Actually, I do not even think that the guy would be so stupid to publish it.

Anyway, do what you think is best. And give this public advice: IF YOU ARE A MINOR; DO NOT GET IN WEBCAM SEX CHAT SITES, you only give problems and criminal compromises to people that think that you are overage, and you make them commit a crime, without knowing it. SO do not do it. Better enjoy your youth, or go and have sex with your coetanei, which is something that you can do only at that age... And what "criminals" wish they could do.
