You are a law enforcement official for the local city. You are assigned to interview a complainant and victim. You meet Mary X and her 14 year old daughter Rachel. Mary explains that her daughter had been sending explicit selfies to some unknown person on the internet. You ask Mary for permission to interview her daughter with Mary present. Mary gives permission and you proceed to inquire of Rachel what occurred.
You find out that Rachel was contacted by a person on the internet through Facebook and then Facebook message. That person seemed to know much about Rachel and her family. She identified herself as Lisa Smart. Lisa just chatted with Rachel and after a number of conversations and repeated requests; Rachel sent her a photo of herself in underwear. This progressed quickly as Lisa told Rachel that she had nude photos of Rachel. Lisa threatened to post them on the internet and send them to relatives and friends of Rachel if Rachel did not send photos of a more graphic and sexual nature to Lisa. Rachel complied and sent such photos.
Lisa was contacting Rachel numerous times a day for weeks. She even returned a few of the explicit phots to Rachel’s email. Lisa also sent links to porn sites and threatened to post Rachel’s photos there.
Rachel closed her Facebook account and opened another account. Lisa contacted her on the new account and threatened to distribute the photos. Lisa told Rachel that she would stop if she would talk on Skype. When she connected on Skype, there was a male on the other side claiming to be Lisa’s Brother Jack Sprat. He said that he would stop this if Rachel would pose in a sexually explicit manner in the Skype session. Mary walked in when this was occurring and the screen went blank. They came immediately to law enforcement. All of the facts have taken place during the month of January of this year.

EMBEZZLEMENT:
Embezzlement is a crime that takes place when a person purposely withholds or uses assets and monies for a purpose other than for what it is intended. Also referred to as “financial fraud” or “larceny,” embezzlement is typically committed by an employee who is in charge of an agency or company’s finances, or a person who has responsibilities pertaining to the assets. Embezzlement is considered a white-collar crime, and can affect both small and large businesses.
Example:
First is the name of the company that was victimized, and the estimated dollar amount of the crime committed against them. On the second line is the position of authority that the person that embezzled was holding at the time. The third line involves a brief description of the crime that was committed and what violations were done.

Harassment:
Harassment is unwelcome conduct that is based on race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy), national origin, age (40 or older), disability or genetic information. Harassment becomes unlawful where 1) enduring the offensive conduct becomes a condition of continued employment, or 2) the conduct is severe or pervasive enough to create a work environment that a reasonable person would consider intimidating, hostile, or abusive. Anti-discrimination laws also prohibit harassment against individuals in retaliation for filing a discrimination charge, testifying, or participating in any way in an investigation, proceeding, or lawsuit under these laws; or opposing employment practices that they reasonably believe discriminate against individuals, in violation of these laws.

Founder of The Viral Fever (TVF) and IIT alumnus Arunabh Kumar has decided to step down as chief executive of the entertainment firm. This comes months after a former employee accused him of sexually harassing her when she was working for the company between 2014 and 2016.
