Pretended to be a girl
A US
teen pretended to be a girl to get guys to send him naked pictures which he then
used to blackmail them for sexual acts.
Anthony Stancl, an 18-year-old high
school student, tricked 31 male classmates into sending him naked photos of
themselves. Waukesha County District Attorney Brad Schimel said the way that
Stancl manipulated people was really sinister.
Anthony Stancl, of New
Berlin, west of Milwaukee, was charged on 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. He has pleaded not guilty
to the charges and hopes to reach a plea agreement with the attorney. If he
doesn't make an agreement, Stancl could face up to 300 years in jail.
Coppers
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, which he attended.
However when coppers
looked at Stancl they found that he was posing as a girl named Kayla or
Emily. Boys reported that they were tricked into sending nude photos or
videos of themselves, the complaint said. Then Kayla or Emily would tell them
they would have to have sex with their male friend, Stancl, or they would post
the pictures on the internet.
Seven boys have fessed up that they had sex
with Stancl because of the blackmail threats. Prosecutors said the victims were
as young as 15.
