A Darker Side of Facebook

I don't know if anyone else has heard about this yet but recently an 18 year old high school student made a fake facebook and pretended to be a women. He then proceeded to friend and persuade about 30 males from his classes to send him pictures of themselves naked. Anthony Stancl then tried to blackmail these men for sex acts. Horrifyingly, some of these men actually "paid" the blackmail to keep thier naked pictures and vidoes off the internet. A lot of these males are as young as 15 and this Stancl is facing 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.

I'm really curious how this whole situation will play out. and if facebook will be held responible at all.

here's a link to the article i got the information from
