Blackmail and coersion of civilian assets for intelligence work is both possible and a risk.

But it won't happen though an Interpol investigation and leave a formal audit trail.

It is just turning "think of the children!" into "think of the sexual blackmail!".

Given the LOVEINT that we only found out about because of Snowden, given the sexual blackmail used to coerce gay people during the Cold War, and given rule 34, I fully expect officially sanctioned mechanisms to be abused in this way.
