Online extortion. (Texas)

[Wayne1]

What is the name of your state? I posted an online ad to try to meet someone. i had a woman respond with a picture of her not wearing much. She asked me for a picture so i sent one. She then asked me for a pic of my penis. Not really thinking anything about it i did. She then gave me her first name amd asked me for my number so we could text. I told her i was not comfortable with that. A few days later she asked if we could talk and email me her number. I sent her a text. I recieved a phone call from a man stating that i contacted his underage daughter. I was absolutely sick about the whole situation. After some discussion he started hinting around about having to take off work and lost wages. He told me to find out how much cash i could come up with and let him know and all of this would stay between us. I a panic i agreed. After some research i discovered this happens quite a bit. I followed the advice i found and deleted all of my social media accounts and have blocked the number he called from. The only thing is im not sure what the next step should be. Sould i get law enforcement involved or hire a lawyer.

There is no next step.

Drop it and get on with your life.

Quite frankly, NO ONE wants a picture of your penis (except perhaps your urologist). Don’t take one. Don’t send one.

What happened to you is a common scam. A scam is better than a police sting but consider yourself lucky you escaped without issue.

I find it interesting that you will send a dick pic but won't give her your first name. That is the idiocy of this. And you didn't know her and now you were contacted about a well known scam.

First hint: QUIT SENDING PICS OF YOUR PENIS TO ANYONE. NO ONE WANTS TO SEE THAT.

IT is not attractive and it matters not at all.The fact that you thought it was cool says you have the maturity of a pervert. QUIT.
