Web of Lies is in Belmont, New Hampshire, to investigate the case of Ryan Vallee, who engaged in a “sextortion” scheme by hacking into the social media accounts of teenage girls before demanding that they send nude pictures.
From 2011 to 2016, Vallee preyed on more than a dozen victims before the police and the U.S. secret service eventually stopped him in his tracks.
Vallee stalked teenage girls by making friend requests on Facebook. Once they had developed an online relationship, he would then ask them to send nude pictures of themselves. When they refused, Vallee would then blackmail them.
