>> i had no idea what he was talking about because i'd never taken photos before. >> reporter: it pushes out a hacker took over the web cam on her computer and secretly recorded her for a year, watching her get ready for school in the morning and undress at night. >> he gave me three options. the first was to send him better quality photos. the second option was to snap chat him, and the third option was to skype him for five minutes and do what he said. if i didn't, he would blackmail me. he did it. i would receive 30 e-mails a day of him harassing me, asking for me. >> reporter: her online manipulation lasted for several months until finally her cyber peeping tom turned himself into the fbi and was sentenced to 1 months in prison, and the biggest surprise for wolf, it was someone she knew. >> the whole entire time i was

i pictured a creepy guy in a basement halfway across the world, but then i found out it was someone i went to high school with that lived in my hometown. >> reporter: but in many cases, the back mailer is anonymous. as students at george mason university discovered that this week. >> to hear there were two more cases was disturbing. >> reporter: an e-mail from university officials sounded the alarm that unknown suspects gained the trust of two students over the internet enticing them to broadcast sexual acts over their web cams. once they said, the suspects recorded the video and threatened to post them on the internet if they didn't pay $5,000. >> this is calculated, it's cold hearted, and malicious sadism. >> reporter: it's something the department of justice says is becoming common, especially when it comes to children. the vast majority of the victi

>> reporter: why do the victims fall for this? >> victims are in their young teens. they're experimenting. suddenly there's this person who is giving you all this wonderful validation. and that's the perfect storm for an offender to take advantage. >> reporter: in one particularly heinous case, a 26-year-old man named lucas michael chancellor terrorized more than 350 young girls on social media and chat sites. >> none of us in jacksonville, including the task force officers and fellow agents working these types of violations for years, we've never seen anything like this before. >> reporter: chancellor entered online chat rooms popular with girls going by numerous online names. he posed as a teenage boy interested in skateboarding. he asked his prey to video chat and then strip and perform a series of specific poses all the

one of the targets says she felt like his captor. >> as i'm doing this, he would be like no, this isn't right. this one is blurry or you didn't do this right. you weren't doing it right. you got to do it again. and that's where bag slave to him comes in, because i had to make sure i come plied. >> reporter: he amassed more than 80,000 images and videos that he used to threaten the girls saying he would hurt them or their families if they didn't give him more. he labeled his files marking them done when he was satisfied with his blackmailing. >> next to the victim's name he'd have notes to himself like i remember one was will try again. another was a note on facebook now. samantha was 13 years old when she and a friend encounters him online. >> he was in a chat room when we were chatting with people we thought were our age.

and he snapped a picture. >> reporter: he resurfaced, ready to manipulate her. >> i was afraid and scared, and as a 13-year-old, you really -- you believe that someone is going to do those things they said they're going to do to you. >> reporter: she says over the course of the next several hours chancellor directed her through his poses asking her to perform graphic sex acts she'd never heard of. finally he seemed satisfied and left samantha alone. she says she immediately deleted her social media accounts and never told anyone about the encounter. >> i was afraid every day he would come back and taunt me. >> reporter: chancellor told the fbi he sought out girls in their early teens specifically. >> he said because older girls wouldn't fall for his ploy. >> reporter: he used multiple servers that hid his identity, routing his communications through other countries. that's how some of them get away with it according to an

attorney. >> local law enforcers don't know what to do. they don't want to prosecute or worry about offenders on the other side of the world which happens with these types of internet crimes. >> reporter: chancellor was prosecuted in 2014 and sentenced to 105 years in federal prison. only about a third of his victims have been identified. they're encouraging more to come forward. samantha says she's glad to see him put away. >> it was overwhelming but it felt good to confront the guy who caused me so much pain and suffering. >> reporter: she said the experience has left her changed forever. >> i became suicidel. i've attempted suicide. and i live with anxiety now. i can't walk down the street and feel comfortable if i get looked at by a

so to have an ad showcase something that feels as though it's not asking the consent of the person within it, it feels uncomfortable. >> reporter: selling sex has always been calvin klein's trade marc causing a stir with brook shields in the 80s. >> you want to know what comes between me and my calvins? nothing. >> reporter: to kate moss and mark wallberg a decade later, but getting noticed by millennials means they're having to up the ante, competing for shares and likes. the fashion features director feels this campaign is actually driven and directed at selfie culture. >> they are intentionally provocative and xu

but what adds to the outrage for some with this recent calvin klein ad is that the models look so young. >> when you have an upskirt shot of a model who almost looks underage, there's another element of yuck and what are you trying to say as a brand. >> reporter: young almost underage looking models was also a hallmark of american apparel, something learned firsthand when the ceo gave a personal tour of the downtown l.a. factory in 2012. >> you were shooting models who were too young who were made to look younger, and exploiting their sexuality. >> i don't see it like that. >> reporter: was that what you wanted? >> it hurt a little bit because it was silly. the problem is in the real fashion world they're taking very young girls and making them look older. it's contrived. >> reporter: he believed
