Florida State Senator Lauren Book pushing for new law after being threatened with extortion over nude images stolen from her

Florida State Senator Lauren Book often has told the story about how she was sexually abused by her nanny for six years when she was a child. She channeled the pain into a lifetime of helping other abuse survivors.

Now after years of working hard to heal herself and restore her life — running a non-profit to help victims, getting married, having children and winning her Senate seat — Book has been victimized again, this time by someone trying to extort her by threatening to reveal nude photos that were stolen from her.

What's worse: During the investigation, she learned that the images had been bought and traded online since 2020.
