(Gainesville, Florida) A Gainesville teen is charged with extortion after a gay man in Maryland was conned and then blackmailed. Police say the 16 year old was posing as an adult in a popular internet chat service when he met the 26 year old Baltimore area man.
The two struck up a friendship in a private chat session and the teen requested and received nude pictures of the man. The teen then revealed his true age and said he would have the man arrested if he did not pay hundreds of dollars.
The blackmail went on for months Detective Jorge Campos said. Finally in desperation the man contacted police.
An undercover operation, using the man's e-mail account, led police to the teen. He was videotaped trying to retrieve money sent to him under the victim's name. In all the man sent about $2,500 to the teenager, who used the money to buy clothes and food, Campos said.
Based on e-mails investigators reviewed, Campos said it appeared the man did not know he was dealing with a juvenile. He only would have faced criminal action if he had knowingly sent the pictures to a minor.
Campos said the case shows the importance of not giving out any private information to someone they meet on the Internet.
"The anonymity of the Internet is where people who want to commit crimes usually hide behind," Campos said.
Campos said he did not know if there were other victims but would be reviewing the teenager's computer for additional information.
