Anthony Stancl was charged 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 on February 4, 2009 after authorities discovered that the 18-year-old was posing as a girl on Facebook in order to coax nude photos from classmates and then blackmail them into providing sexual favors. Stancl tricked at least 31 male classmates, one of which was as young as 15-years-old, into sending him nude photos.
