Suffolk County police is ramping up its fight against child and revenge porn.

Suffolk Police Commissioner Rodney Harrison says cases are on the rise in the county and across the country.

"During the first five months of 2022, Facebook has flagged 70 million pieces of content under child nudity and sexual exploitation," Harrison says.

More detectives are now assigned to investigate these cases and a new tool has been rolled out for the public to help report images online and get them removed.

Chief of Detectives John Rowan says the addition of three detectives to its Digital Forensics Unit is already showing results.

"We have conducted five search warrants resulting in two arrests, and we have four more arrests anticipated," Rowan says.

Harrison says there is also a new tool for the public to anonymously report images found on the web called "Take It Down."

"This new advancement in technology allows individuals to report online nude, partially nude photos, or explicit photos of minors," Harrison explains.

Dr. Stephany Powell with the National Center of Missing and Exploited Children says many victims are easily lured on the internet.

"Unfortunately, kids feel trapped to either to where they continue to do it or they just give up and some have attempted suicide as a result," Powell says.

She says before kids become victims, parents should let their kids know they can go to them or another adult trusted by the family if they find themselves in trouble online.

"The kid feeling that 'I can’t go to my parents because I did the wrong thing in the first place,' that’s what the bad guy is banking on," Powell says.

"Also, if you’re a victim of sextortion, stop responding, do not delete the extortion request, tell a trusted adult and report to the police immediately," Harrison advises.
