The Convergence Resource Center will host an event titled “Human Trafficking and Cyber Blackmail” on Friday, Sept. 20, from 1–3 p.m. at The Urban League, located at 2222 S. Park St., Madison.
The event will shed light on the alarming rise in cyber blackmail, which increased by 1,000% in 2022. The prevalence of image-based abuse, a form of exploitation more common among adults than many realize, and the reality of these crimes happening right here in Wisconsin will also be discussed.
Tim and Tamia Woods will share their personal story of loss and resilience after their son, James, tragically fell victim to this heinous crime. Their insights will provide valuable information on how to recognize and respond to these threats.
