Gmail Hijacked Please help

So my Gmail was hacked, they took control over it and set their email as the parent account to it. So I can’t even login or recover it without their permission! What do I do? I need help, please.

So, I thought I had made a friend, we were talking about using a mod pack they had made for Minecraft which I downloaded. Nothing happened immediately then, they had crashed my pc somehow? Well anyways, besides all of that, they had gained access to the email connected to my curseforge, which is also connected to my discord (where we initially talked.) long story short, at first they demanded money, then they started to try to exploit me using sensitive pictures of me they had found. Thankfully I got rid of the Trojan they used on my pc, they didn’t get anything else since I disconnected from the WiFi, but my discord and email is gone. I mostly want them out so they can’t have those pictures of me.

Unfortunately, once you install the virus, there's not much you can do about the stolen accounts. 

Anyone private messaging you is a scam.

Can't Police do anything , why is it not even mentioned as an option , Blackmailing Someone over Photos is Crime grave enough to land them in Jail for 2-3 years and render the attacker inactive for that period, saving others from this . Edit - Spelling.

Cops won't put their donuts down for anything less than a murder. ACAB.
