Dozens in Philippines busted for 'sextortion'

note:
-the new coinage 'sextortion' -- sex extortion (getting someone to strip online, capture on video or webcam, then extort money by threatening to leak the pics or videos online)
-idea of transnational crime (crime committed by someone who is not even in the country but far away)
- role of technology (social media) in this -- makes it so convenient to commit crime; don't even have to step out of your room to be at the scene of the crime; don't even have to leave your country; and most importantly, don't even have to show ur face!
