Livermore Man Arrested On Suspicion Of Extorting Minor For Nude Pics

LIVERMORE, CA — San Francisco police on Wednesday announced the arrest of a 22-year-old Livermore man on suspicion of child pornography offenses for allegedly extorting a female victim for nude images and videos.

Aidan Worley was arrested Aug. 19 after investigators served a search warrant in the 400 block of Ann Court in Livermore and seized multiple electronic devices, according to police.

The investigation began in April 2021 after the SFPD Internet Crimes Against Children task force received a report from the victim about being extorted by a user going by the name "Jack Lucas" on a social media platform, police said.

Investigators eventually identified the suspect as Worley, who they believe has additional victims who are minors extorted for nude images or videos through social media.

Worley was booked into jail on suspicion of communicating with a minor to produce child pornography, sending harmful matter to a child with the intent to seduce, sending sexual messages to a child, coercing a minor to appear in child pornography, extortion, possession and distribution of child pornography, and annoying or molesting a child, police said.

Anyone who may have been a victim or had suspicious contact with Worley is asked to call the SFPD special victims unit at (415) 553-9225. People wishing to remain anonymous can call the department's tip line at (415) 575-4444 or to send a tip by text message to TIP411 and begin the message with "SFPD."
