If you are the victim of extortion and blackmailing, go to the police. Apple will not get involved in this police matter until they provide a subpoena for any data they have on a user's account. Apple is unable to see anything on a users device to be able to provide that information because it is encrypted with the users Passcode, which Apple does no know and is unable to bypass.
