Wisconsin Teen Jailed For 15 Years For Facebook Sex-Extortion Scam

Anthony Stancl, 19, of Wisconsin, was accused of posing as a girl on Facebook and tricking more than 30 male classmates into sending him naked photos of themselves, then using the photos to blackmail them for sex.

Stancl forced at least seven of them into some sort of sexual activity with him in encounters that he documented with a mobile phone.

Police identified 31 victims, each of whom exchanged nude photographs or videos with Stancl believing he was a female.

Up to 300 photographs of underage males, some as young as 15, were found on Stancl's computer, police said.

He had pleaded to two charges, including the repeated sexual assault of a child.

Prosecutors are satisfied with the sentence of 15 years in prison along with another 13 years of extended supervision. Stancl had faced a maximum 30-year sentence.
