Victims are normally lured in through social media sites; the blackmailers are criminal gangs operating in countries like the Philippines.

Firstly,I think this would weaken the "false accusations" label, and there should be an extortion label.
It sounds to me like the men are looking for porn, so the accusation that they're engaging in embarrassing sexual chats is essentially a true one.
If their chats were taken post-event and placed, by the extortionist, into the context of an underaged person, that would be a false accusation, but this report isn't arguing that that is happening.
