    See the proper way to respond to sexually explicit blackmail is a few simple words.

    “Thanks for the free advertising!”

    On a more serious note, theres never a good reason to comply with blackmail. for example if she did do what they asked. It would have been a hell of a lot more trouble she would be in and also it would unethical as shit.

    What scummy people will do theese days sheesh. Stay safe out there!

      That there is never a good reason to comply is almost certainly objectively true, for one has no leverage to force compliance with the relief offered for such compliance. However, I suspect that is nearly an impossible thing to reason through under duress.

      It is like saying there is no good reason to talk when getting water boarded. Well yeah, but like… good luck with holding fast while drowning.
