Sextortion: Gavin’s Guffey’s Tragic Story and His Dad’s Fight for Change
Update: 2024-09-25
Description
In this episode Donna and South Carolina Representative Brandon Guffey, discuss the tragic loss of his son, Gavin, who took his own life after becoming a victim of sextortion in July 2022. The discussion explores Guffey's advocacy journey, legislative efforts, and the establishment of 'Gavin's Law' which makes sextortion – the act of blackmailing someone after luring them to send sexually explicit photos of themselves via text or social media – a felony offense which becomes aggravated if the victim is a minor. The discussion also highlights big tech's inability to protect children online and stresses the importance of proactive parental engagement.
