INDIANAPOLIS—The nightmare began with a party: three teenage girls with a webcam, visiting an Internet chatroom and yielding to requests to flash their breasts.

 

A week later, one of the girls, a 17-year-old from Indiana, started getting threatening emails. A stranger said he had captured her image on the webcam and would post the pictures to her MySpace friends unless she posed for more explicit pictures and videos for him. On at least two occasions, the teen did what her blackmailer demanded. Finally, police and federal authorities became involved and indicted a 19-year-old Maryland man in June on charges of sexual exploitation.

 

Federal prosecutors and child safety advocates say they’re seeing an upswing in such cases of online sexual extortion. They say teens who text nude cellphone photos of themselves or show off their bodies on the Internet are being contacted by pornographers who threaten to expose their behaviour to friends and family unless they pose for more explicit porn, creating a vicious cycle of exploitation.

 

One federal affidavit includes a special term for the crime: “sextortion.”

 

No one currently tracks the number of cases involving online sexual extortion in state and federal courts, but prosecutors and others point toward several recent high-profile examples victimizing teens in a dozen states:

 

•In Alabama, Jonathan Vance, 24, of Auburn was sentenced to 18 years in prison in April after he admitted sending threatening emails on Facebook and MySpace extorting nude photos from more than 50 young women in Alabama, Pennsylvania and Missouri.

 

•In Wisconsin, Anthony Stancl, 18, received 15 years in prison in February after prosecutors said he posed as a girl on Facebook to trick male high school classmates into sending him nude cellphone photos, which he then used to extort them for sex.

 

•A 31-year-old California man was arrested in June on extortion charges after authorities said he hacked into more than 200 computers and threatened to expose nude photos he found unless their owners posed for more sexually explicit videos. Forty-four of the victims were juveniles, authorities said. Federal prosecutors said he was even able to remotely activate some victims’ webcams without their knowledge and record them undressing or having sex.

 

The cases have prompted law enforcement officials and advocates to caution teens about their activities. Privacy is nonexistent on the Internet, and once indiscretions appear online, they are virtually impossible to take back. A nude photo sent to a boyfriend’s cellphone can easily be circulated through cellphone contacts and wind up on websites that post sexting photos. Once there, it’s available for anyone who wants to trace it back to the person who made it.

 

“Kids are putting their head in the lion’s mouth every time they do this,” said Parry Aftab, an attorney and online child safety advocate.

 

Teens can be more vulnerable to blackmail because they’re easy to intimidate and embarrassed to seek help. And the extortionists are often willing to make good on their threats, said Steve DeBrota, an assistant U.S. attorney in Indianapolis who has been involved in sextortion investigations.

 

“You are blackmailable,” said Aftab, “ ... and you will do anything to keep those pictures from getting out.”

 

In the Indiana case, the teenage girl’s mother called police when she found out about the threats. Authorities subpoenaed Internet service providers to track the chats and emails to their source, a computer in Mechanicsville, Md., according to court documents.

 

According to court documents, the computer’s owner, Trevor Shea, told agents he had engaged in similar schemes with about 10 girls, most of them 17 or 18 years old.

 

His trial is set for Aug. 30. He has pleaded not guilty and his attorney, Michael Donahoe, said he is working on a possible settlement.

So this muthafucka got nudes of guys he went to school with, and used that to force them to have sex with him? The fuck? Granted, when I was in high school I probably wouldn't of wanted people finding out I sent dick flicks to a dude by accident, but that also is not even close to embarrassing enough to force a normal person into butt secks.

 

Why didn't someone just beat the faggot out of him?

[stilltellingliestome]

I can't understand why you would get 18 yrs in prison.

I wish i was 15 again...the internet makes being a pervert so much more fun.

[screambloodygore]

Anthony Stancl is homo.

Youve obviously never to court

 

Being able to plead guilty or not guilty is not really a choice at your arraignment

 

Its just the first formality in a long list of formalities

 

Here is a good example

 

http://articles.sfgate.com/2009-08-15/news/17175332_1_death-penalty-toll-collector-toll-plaza

 

Heres a few highlights

 

 

The man accused of killing his ex-girlfriend and her male friend at the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge toll plaza insisted on pleading guilty Friday, saying, "I did it," and that he wanted to be executed.

"Just give me the death penalty," Nathaniel Burris, 46, of Richmond demanded in a court hearing in Martinez at which he repeatedly interrupted the judge and proclaimed that he didn't need a lawyer.

 

"I don't need no public defender," Burris said. "I talked to a lawyer last night. I'm guilty. I did it. Why do we have to wait 30 years?"

Landau refused to accept his guilty plea and ordered Burris to return to court Thursday. She said he had the right to a hearing at which he could ask that he act as his own attorney.

But even then Burris said, "Why not Monday? Why wait? I did it. Let's get it over with."

we really do have a fucked up justice system.

 

this whole country is fucked up.

[Realism]

Been. And I understand that the plea is necessary as well as just the beginning of setting the trial (or sentencing if you plead guilty) wheels in motion.

 

It just seemed funny how it was worded/formatted in the article.
