Jordan Stephens gets ‘sextorted' for Channel 4 film about sexual blackmail
The film is part of the broadcaster's Untold documentary strand, which is back with a new season that includes an investigation into dating apps, fronted by Love Island star Chloe Burrows.
For the purpose of the film, Stephens gets himself 'sextorted', which is a form of online blackmail in which criminals threaten to release sexual images, videos, or personal information of victims unless they pay money or comply with other demands, according to the Metropolitan Police.
Stephens, 33, will travel to the streets of Nigeria to track down his blackmailer in an attempt to confront them face-to-face.
It comes after the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF), which finds and helps remove abuse imagery online, said in its annual data and insights report – published in April – that under-18s are now facing a crisis of sexual exploitation, including sextortion, online.
The documentary, with the working title Hunting My Sextortion Scammer, will be available to stream from June 25.
Elsewhere, reality star Burrows will investigate why young people are ditching the dating apps and ask whether the key to romantic connections is meeting in-person.
The 29-year-old will road test a variety of real-world dates and question experts on concerns about dating apps, from gamification to artificial intelligence (AI).
The programme, which has the working title Chloe Burrows: 28 Dates Later, will be available to stream from June 4.
Also announced is a documentary about the world of TikTok Shop, which is an e-commerce feature of the social media platform.
The Secrets Of TikTok Shop (working title) will be available to stream from June 11.
The final documentary announced is a follow-up to The Secrets Of UK Prisons, working title Confessions Of A Prison Officer, which will focus on prison officer corruption and become available to stream from June 18.
Janine Thomas, commissioning editor for Untold, said: 'Untold continues to be a fearless voice for young audiences, tackling taboo topics, lifting the lid on hidden subcultures, and giving voice to those who are often unheard.
'This season of ambitious and exciting documentaries promises to inform, provoke and spark vital conversation.'
This season of Untold will available to stream on Channel 4 and then on the broadcaster's YouTube channel.
The channel has also announced the commission of a new series, working title The Court, which promises to take viewers inside the civil justice system.
Set in a former courthouse, the series will follow the stories of members of the public from across the UK who have chosen to fast track their cases through a televised, alternative court.

EXCLUSIVE Tommy Fury shares hug with Molly-Mae Hague lookalike during wild night out as he parties until the early hours - following his reconciliation with the influencer
shared a hug with his brother Roman's girlfriend, who strikes a remarkable resemblance to his own partner Molly-Mae Hague, during a wild night out in Cheshire on Friday. The boxer, 26, was spotted on the rare outing without his former fiancée, also 26, who he met on Love Island in 2019 and split from last year, before reconciling. Tommy, who shares two-year-old daughter Bambi with the influencer, said the reason their romance ended was down to his excessive drinking. He showcased his buff physique in a tight black top and matching cargo trousers as he danced the night away with a large group of pals and partied into the early hours. First Tommy was seen at the Bubble Room in Alderley Edge before heading over to The Symposium night club where he is said to have ended his evening at 2am. He chatted intently his brother's partner before she wrapped her arms around his neck for a friendly embrace. The Symposium is owned by Hollyoaks star Ashley Taylor Dawson, 43, best known for his role as Darren Osborne in the Channel 4 soap. Customers can splash the cash on private booths that cost up to £1200 and come with bottles of pricey champagne. It was recently claimed that a feud is brewing between Molly and Tommy 's families over their decision to give their relationship another go. Earlier this month, a report from The Sun suggested that Molly-Mae's sister Zoe was concerned about them getting back together. In the latest episodes of Molly-Mae's Amazon Prime documentary Behind It All, Zoe expressed her doubts over Tommy openly. This in turn reportedly angered Tommy's family including his brother Tyson and his wife Paris. A source told the publication: 'The Fury family aren't impressed that Zoe has been so outspoken about Tommy. 'They're a fiercely loyal bunch and seeing Zoe's comments broadcast to millions of people via Amazon absolutely got their hackles up. 'To them Tommy is a stand up guy, a good, hard working father. His drinking issues shouldn't be used as a stick to beat him.' The insider added that Paris is confused as to why Zoe would try to hinder the family getting back together. Despite the claims, Tommy finally made his return to Molly-Mae's YouTube vlogs for the first time since the couple's shock split. After months of rumours that they had rekindled their romance, the couple finally confirmed they were back on by going Instagram official last month with a loved-up family snap with their daughter Bambi. But Molly-Mae has insisted the pair are taking it slow this time around, with the boxer still not moving back in to her Cheshire mansion, and not being shown on her vlogs - until now. Her latest video diary released last week, saw Tommy back on camera again, announcing: 'The wanderer has returned! Like nothing ever changed.' And the couple looked as loved-up as ever, as they cosied up together and burst into a fit of giggles, before Tommy even leaned in for a kiss and bid Molly goodbye with an 'I love you'. And Molly-Mae even reflected on it feeling 'a little bit full circle' as the pair caught a glimpse of the beginning of their love story, as they watched Love Island anniversary special. To mark 10 years of the show, ITV aired a one-off Love Island: Decade of Love last week, where they celebrated Molly-Mae and Tommy as one of their biggest success stories. The pair fell for each other in front of the nation during series five in 2019, before going on to welcome daughter Bambi and get engaged in 2023. But fans were shocked when they announced they'd split on Instagram in August, with Tommy later revealing Molly ended their romance over his excessive drinking. In a statement posted to her 8.5million Instagram followers, she confirmed the breakup, saying: 'I never imagined our story would end, especially not this way.' Tommy denied continued speculation about him cheating during a magazine interview, insisting any reports about him being with other women were 'complete and utter b*****ks.'
