Evil online blackmailer gains serious leverage on a virtuous woman (older teen or upwards) with extremely high moral standards. (The leverage could possibly be against a family member of the victim placing her in an even more impossible situation.) Victim has only one option to save herself. She must actively target other females online, and trick them, probably by swapping intimate photos or videochats, into providing her with compromising material on themselves. She must then blackmail these new girls into performing degrading acts for the entertainment of the original blackmailer. She feels nothing but sympathy for the girls and absolutely hates herself for what she is doing, but the alternative is even worse. The original blackmailer offers her very little guidance in how she should trap the girls and how she should direct them after they are trapped. It is her own responsibility to devise ways of humiliating her victims that will amuse her blackmailer. Possibly the blackmailer demands access to her computer or phone so that he can monitor her efforts in contacting and entrapping other victims and ensure that she isn't slacking. Perhaps at the very end the blackmailer frees her, but she has finally been so corrupted that she continues for her own amusement.
How does that sound? If there are existing stories with a similar theme, I'd be interested to hear of them.
