A decision to send sexually explicit selfies to a recently friended person on social media proved costly for two Kansas Wesleyan University students.
Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester said this morning that two male KWU students on Sunday accepted friend requests on social media from an unknown person. Once they were friends, the unknown person asked both men to send sexually explicit photos of themselves and both complied.
The unknown "friend" then blackmailed both men. Forrester said one man was out $50 while the other paid nearly $4,000.
Forrester said it is important to not accept friend requests on social media from unknown people and it is even more important to not send sexually explicit photos of oneself to anyone.
