A girl started an online romance with someone claiming to be a 16 year old boy from Watertown, NY. During the course of their relationship, he convinced her to send him pictures of her in the nude. He also sent her pictures of some young boy also in the nude. After a while, when he tried to get her to send him more pictures , she refused. He then threatened to send the pictures he already had to her father. He promised not to show the pictures to anyone, but she told him that he had already threatened to show the ones he had to her father. She told him that her father would kill her.
She was wrong. Her father would have approved heartily. You see, he had set up a false profile and used that profile to get his daughter to send him nude photos. He then came up with a new plan. He sent his daughter a message from the false account, claiming to be the boy’s mother, telling her that he had committed suicide. Then, he produced the pictures and claimed the boy had sent them to him. He began abusing his daughter, telling her how much he loved her nude photos.
The girl decided that she had had enough and informed the school nurse that her father had been sexually abusing her in their home. The nurse alerted authorities. When they looked into the online boyfriend, they discovered that the account had been set up from a computer in her own home. The father finally confessed to his crimes and has decided to plead guilty to the charges. His name is being withheld to protect his daughter.
He will face sentencing in the Jefferson County Court. He is facing a maximum of 250 years in prison. I think he should get life.
