Miss Teen USA Cassidy Wolf opened up her “sextortion” drama on Friday’s “Today Show.”

Jared James Abrahams, a former high school classmate of Wolf, has been arrested and charged with extortion after he allegedly hacked into her webcam — and other women’s — taking naked photos and video of his victims and then allegedly threatening them.

“It’s weird for me to be able to put a face to the person who did this to me and to know that it was somebody I went to high school with,” Wolf told Savannah Guthrie on the “Today Show.”

The 19-year-old pageant winner says she “knew of [Abrahams]” but never talked to him directly.

“I’m very relieved,’’ she says. “I’m glad they were able to find who the person is, but on the other hand, it was somebody that I went to high school with. He was young, my age, and I just think it’s sad that he chose to do this and has now kind of put himself in this big dilemma. It’s mixed emotions.”

Cassidy Wolf, Miss Teen USA, Says She’s Target of Naked Webcam Pics ‘Sextortion’

Cassidy Wolf, the newly crowned Miss Teen USA, is at the center of a ‘sextortion’ investigation involving naked pictures allegedly taken of her on her webcam.

The FBI is looking into anonymous threats made against the 19-year-old Californian earlier this year, before she won the beauty pageant.

According to Wolf, several months ago Facebook notified her that someone had attempted to log into her account from another state.

She subsequently received an e-mail from a person who said he had photos of her that were taken in her bedroom via the webcam on her computer — and demanded money in exchange for keeping the pictures under wraps.

“I wasn’t aware that somebody was watching me (on my webcam),’’ Wolf told Today.com. “The light (on the camera) didn’t even go on, so I had no idea.”

The case is under investigation, preventing Wolf from saying more about the case.

After being named Miss California Teen USA, she traveled to schools and educated kids about protecting themselves from cybercrime — a cause she plans to continue to pursue as Miss Teen USA.
