Wyoming Teens Warned of Social Media “Sexploitation” Crime
Wyoming’s youth are being focused, blackmailed, and sexually exploited on their social media apps, and state legislation enforcement and the FBI urge children to be secure.
The F.B.I. alerted the Wyoming Division of Legal Investigation (D.C.I.) of a brand new and disturbing extortion scheme “trending” on social media. Final week, the Laramie Police Division shared these particulars on Fb.
In early 2022, the Wyoming Division of Legal Investigation (DCI) and the Laramie PoliceDepartment (LPD) grew to become conscious of a widespread on-line prison sextortion case involving a number of juvenile victims in Wyoming.
Sadly, there are confirmed blackmail victims of “sextortion” in Albany County.
The case entails a number of unknown suspects utilizing social media accounts like Snapchat and Instagram to blackmail younger feminine college students into sending intimate and sexually specific photos and movies.
Then, the suspect(s) make the most of a sufferer’s mates and observe checklist(s) to search out and extort new victims.
Typical conduct exhibited by the suspects contains the next:
- Sending hyperlinks of different victims’ specific information to potential victims and telling the potential victims that in the event that they ship information, the SUSPECT received’t “expose” the prior baby sufferer’s information. If the potential sufferer agrees, the SUSPECT will start extorting the brand new sufferer.
- The SUSPECT calls for movies and pictures over a multi-day interval and claims that the SUSPECT will delete the information if the sufferer complies. That is NOT true.
- THE SUSPECT forces (below risk of publicity) victims to conduct video calls that present the sufferer’s face, whereas the SUSPECT retains his face hidden. That is finished so the SUSPECT can additional exploit the kid sufferer.
- The SUSPECT forces (below the specter of publicity) the kid sufferer to offer the sufferer’s buddy checklist or followers.
Though the suspect(s) stay unidentified, Wyoming D.C.I. and L.P.D. proceed to actively examine this case and work with the FBI to cease this ongoing exploitation.
If these people contact you or somebody you understand, or you’re requested by somebody so as to add an unknown “buddy,” please beware: the suspects rely on victims feeling ashamed or responsible to proceed to take advantage of them. Moreover, they won’t cease the exploitation, no matter what number of footage or movies a sufferer sends.

The Colorado State Rams and Wyoming Cowboys have added two games to their Border War football series, both schools announced Wednesday.
Colorado State is leaving the Mountain West Conference after the 2025 season and will join the Pac-12 Conference beginning in the fall of 2026. As a result, their annual Border War game will have to be played as a non-conference contest.
Back in November, the two schools announced an agreement that included games beginning in 2028 and extending through the 2035 season. Today’s announcement includes the addition of a game on Sept. 5, 2026 at Canvas Stadium in Fort Collins, Colo., and on Sept. 6, 2036 at War Memorial Stadium in Laramie, Wyo.
“Rivalry games are important to us at Colorado State and are a part of what makes College Football so special,” said Colorado State Director of Athletics, John Weber. “Our scheduling goal for our football program is to host seven games every season on campus in Canvas Stadium. Ram Country and Canvas Chaos make a real difference on game day and there is no better place to play than at home on campus in Fort Collins.”
The two schools are scheduled to play this season on Saturday, Oct. 25 in Laramie.
“Having one of the oldest rivalries in the West that features one of the most iconic trophies in college football continue consecutively is outstanding,” added Weber. “The Boot Run with the game ball, the Border Ceremony, and the Bronze Boot Trophy all honor the values and rich ROTC history of both universities and will remain integral to this rivalry for years to come. This game is important to our universities, communities, and fans and I am thrilled that we were able to continue it in 2026.”
Although Colorado State and Wyoming are not scheduled to meet in 2027, there is still the possibility for that contest. When the series was announced last year, both schools stated they were “…working on amendments to schedules for the 2026 and 2027 season for potential additions to the current agreement.”
Colorado State and Wyoming first met on the gridiron in 1899 and have played a total of 116 contests. The Rams currently lead the overall series 60-51-5.
In order to schedule the 2026 game with Colorado State, Wyoming has rescheduled its previously slated home contest against North Texas for Sept. 9, 2034. Colorado State was previously scheduled to play at Indiana on Sept. 5, 2026, but Indiana will now host North Texas on that date instead.
