hey all, my friend lives in india and is in serious danger. a family member rapes them and has explicit imagery of them which they hold over their head if they ever speak out. no one in their family would believe them, the police dont care where tjeyre from, and the rapist is a wealthy violent criminal. i know it's distressing but what advice / help can you think of? im keeping them anonymous for obvious reasons. her life is ruined by this, it's been going on for years. she has given me permission to post this

I would physically destroy the devices the images are stored on. If the police doesn't care, I would guess they are also corrupt and would care a lot more for a few bucks

We might try remote access then. Is he knowledgeable in computer science? I guess he could be an easy target for a phishing attack. Can you get information about the devices he uses? We would also need a subject for the attack so we would need to know his hobbies or stores he goes to
