        Hello, all! I was recently posting some nsfw stuff on an nsfw subreddit (face excluded). Long story short, I was approached by someone, who had us shift to another platform to keep talking.

        They struck up a deal of some sort, during which they got to know my name and were able to find out my contacts. They then attempted to blackmail me with the content I posted here on reddit (I didnt send fhem anything personally), threatening to share it with my friends.

        I realise I should’ve seen this coming. I blocked them everywhere, deactivated or made private my socials. I don’t think they’d be able to get in touch with any of my family/friends if they tried. I’m confident about that. However, they are still out there with incriminating pictures of me and the knowledge of my name.

        I want to file a police complaint against them, and I wanted to first check the legality of me posting nudes here on nsfw reddit. I haven’t personally PM’d them anything. Is posting nsfw stuff something I could get in trouble for with the law?

        Furthermore, I do have some personal details about them but nothing concrete, it would come under word of mouth evidence as I only heard it from them. Is that okay? How should I go about filing a complaint? Would it be okay to do it on the National Cyber crime Portal or is there something else I should consider?

        Does anyone have any suggestions, any tips, ANYTHING to help me out at all? I would really, really, really appreciate it.

        Location: India

              Lawyer here…Don’t waste time on Reddit. Hire a lawyer and make your way to the Police station and register a complaint with the Cyber Crime Dept.
              You are a victim of a crime, you need not be scared of anyone.

                  I think I will do that. I’m just a little bit hesitant because essentially I consented to an online transactional sexual relationship and am wondering how that translates legally.

                  Thank you.

                      Did you consent to being videographed/ photographed?

                      No, I assume that you did not give consent to that. Now follow the advice as given above.

                    What is your gender if male police complaint will not get any result contact a lawyer. If female you can call national women helpline no 1091 not 181(it is for domestic abuse) or you should contact women police cell there should be one in every district
