Abstract
We show that the standard economic and institutional factors that predict corruption do not significantly correlate with the share of people who have either experienced sextortion (sexualized forms of corruption) personally or know someone who has. However, sextortion is more common in more corrupt countries. Although the perception that sextortion is common falls with corruption. These results suggest that corruption both facilitates and masks sexual predation.
