Facebook Teen Who Blackmailed Students Sentenced to 15 Years

Teen Facebook Blackmailer Sentenced to 15 YearsYou might remember Anthony Stancl, the Wisconsin teen who was arrested last year for blackmailing fellow students. Stancl posed as a girl on Facebook and convinced his male classmates to send him nude and compromising photos. Once he received the photos, he threatened to spread them online if the students didn't perform sexual acts for him.

Yesterday his trial finally came to an end when Stancl was convicted and sentenced to 15 years in prison for felony charges, including repeated sexual assault on a child. Just goes to show that not every sexual predator online fits the stereotyped, dirty-old-man image. [From: New York Times]
