Dear Community,
The FBI will host a presentation this month addressing an important safety issue for students.
What
- The FBI will hold a virtual presentation via Microsoft Teams.
- For families, students and parent-teacher organizations. (February 21 from 4:30 p.m. – 5:30 p.m.)
- There will be time for a Q&A at the end of each presentation.
Why
- The FBI’s goal is to help educators, parents, caregivers, teens, and young adults fully understand the dangers of financially motivated sextortion and to know there are options for those who need help.
- The FBI has seen a 20% increase in reports of financially motivated sextortion incidents targeting minors during a six-month period that ended in March 2023, compared to the previous year.
- The scam is the latest iteration of sextortion where offenders deceive and manipulate victims to create sexually explicit material for extortion purposes.
- Minors and young adults caught in this trap often feel isolated, embarrassed and cornered with seemingly no way out. In some cases, victims have turned to self-harm and even suicide.
Contact
- For more information, contact Renee Bailey, Community Outreach Specialist with the FBI Portland Field Office.

Help Bridge the Gaps
"Help Bridge the Gaps" with a donation to the Foundation for Tigard Tualatin Schools' annual Fund Drive. Your gift funds the School Grants that are annually awarded to our 17 schools, to fund vital part-time teaching staff that the state budget can't afford. These part-time teachers bridge gaps when they facilitate math & reading small groups, after school activities, language assistance, mental health support, and so much more!
