Boy Posing As Girl On Facebook Extorts Sex

Police: Teen Tricked Other Boys Into Sending Nude Photos Of Themselves, Then Blackmailed Some For Sex

(AP)  An 18-year-old male student is accused of posing as a girl on Facebook, tricking at least 31 male classmates into sending him naked photos of themselves and then blackmailing some for sex acts.

"The kind of manipulation that occurred here is really sinister in my estimation," Waukesha County District Attorney Brad Schimel said Wednesday.

The students go to New Berlin Eisenhower High School in New Berlin, which is in Waukesha County about 15 miles west of Milwaukee.

Anthony Stancl, of New Berlin, was charged Wednesday with five counts of child enticement, two counts of second-degree sexual assault of a child, two counts of third-degree sexual assault, possession of child pornography, repeated sexual assault of the same child and making a bomb threat.

Stancl's attorney, Craig Kuhary, said Stancl plans to plead not guilty to the charges and hopes to reach a plea agreement with the district attorney

"It's too early in the case for me to make a statement, other than the fact at some point we are going to go into events that had taken place earlier that might have had some impact on what he did here," he said. He wouldn't go into specifics.

The incidents allegedly happened from spring 2007 through November, when officers questioned Stancl about a bomb threat he allegedly sent to teachers and wrote about on a school's bathroom wall. It resulted in the closing of New Berlin Eisenhower Middle and High School.

According to the criminal complaint, Stancl first contacted the students through the social networking site Facebook, pretending to be a girl named Kayla or Emily.

The boys reported that they were tricked into sending nude photos or videos of themselves, the complaint said.

Thirty-one victims were identified and interviewed and more than half said the girl with whom they thought they were communicating tried to get them to meet with a male friend to let him perform sex acts on them.

They were told that if they didn't, she would send the nude photos or movies to their friends and post them on the Internet, according to the complaint. Stancl allegedly used the excuse to get the victims to perform repeated acts, the complaint said.

Seven boys were identified in the complaint by their initials as either having to allegedly perform sex acts on Stancl or Stancl on them. The complaint said Stancl took photos with his cell phone of the encounters.

Officers found about 300 nude images of juvenile males on his computer, according to the complaint. Prosecutors said the victims were as young as 15.

A preliminary hearing for Stancl has been scheduled for Feb. 26. The maximum penalty if convicted on all charges is nearly 300 years in prison.

If only he had joined the FB specifically for relationships, maybe he wouldn't have needed to do this... http://www.pointsincase.com/columns/casey-freeman/facebook-of-sex

we need to educate our youth much better. they are falling prey to these types of behaviors everyday. it is a shame that something has to happen first before something is done. i will use this article to educate the youth and parents in my community of what could happen to them because it is happening. this is so sad. and no jokes should be made about this issue.

So getoffmine1, you are saying that typically men are more intelligent than women in reply to an article where some teenager tricked his MALE classmates into sending him nude pictures?

Sounds like a short skit on Family Guy some time in the future.

Straight men have been deceiving women throughout history. I have to chuckle a bit to know that he got 31 pics.... LOL.... I bet those 31 were shocked! Idiots!

After years in entertainment watching gay males entice young men and boys anyway they could, nothing surprises me.

ok class ... welcome to internet 101 ... your introduction to the internet. there''s only one thing to know ... and this will be the only thing on the test ... so whatever you do ... remember this:

''all people and things represented on the internet are ''not'' necessarily what they appear to be ... and this goes for anything and anyone ... including individuals, large organizations, political organizations/entities, and companies''.

your next class ... life 101:

please see rule for internet 101 above ... just replace the phrase ''on the internet'' with the phrase ''in life''!

HERE''S the example parents should hold up for their kids as to what ''sexting'' can lead to.
Innocent childish behavior of sharing your naughties with friends can have unexpected consequences.

This is an article about the predator aspects of some people and about the eternal and inherent stupidity of teenage boys. When mommies warn their daughters about the predators on line, looks like they better start including their "little men" too.

I don''t really feel sorry for the ''victims" because they should not have been so stupid as to send naked pictures of themselves in the first place. As for meeting up to have sexxx with another man--they had to sort of want to, to culminate that act because common sense says that if someone has a naked picture of you doing nothing and is willing to extort you--then they will have an even better picture of you when you perform sexxx acts and they get that evidence to extort you with. DUHHHHHHHH!

O.K. This guy has issues and needs some help and to spend some time in jail (of course he may enjoy jail). That being said these guys are idiots for sending nude phots or videos of themselves over the internet. These photos will be somewhere on the internet until the internet exists. Imagine 20 years from now the 12 year old daughter of one of these guys walks up to him and says "Dad, I googled your name and a picture of some teenage boy with a really small p e n i s came up".
