bullet Wisconsin teen accused of coercing sex acts via Facebook corner

Melbourne, Feb 25 : A Wisconsin teenager has been accused of posing as a girl on Facebook to blackmail classmates into sex.

Anthony Stancl, 18, tricked at least 31 male classmates into sending him naked photos of themselves and then blackmailing some for sex acts.

Prosecutors say Stancl even filmed some of the revolting encounters on his mobile phone, reports The Daily Telegraph.

"The kind of manipulation that occurred here is really sinister in my estimation," Waukesha County District Attorney Brad Schimel said in the United States.

The students go to New Berlin Eisenhower High School in New Berlin.

On Wednesday, Stancl, of New Berlin, 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.

The Milwaukee Sun is essentially a local Milwaukee newspaper, but with a national and international perspective, designed to provide readers with a one-stop shop for Milwaukee, national US, regional, and world news coverage, weather and sports information, with live updates on breaking business stories, and what's happening in the financial markets.

The biggest advantage we have is that we are an online newspaper, which means we are constantly refreshing our stories as more and more information comes to hand. Often when a story breaks the initial details are sketchy.

We and our sources around the world work hard to gather more information, verify facts, and provide a perspective of the major stories. Expert opinion often accompanies our articles to better inform readers, and provide a more complete understanding
of the news we deliver.

Financial markets and business reports are regular features as we pin down what's happening, and constantly refresh stock market indice readings, dollar currency rates, and breaking business news reports. Our world sports coverage is a priority, as is our regional news.

We like to think if you're looking for breaking news out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, United States, or the world, you'll look for it first at the Milwaukee Sun.
