US teen reaches plea deal in Facebook sex scam

A Wisconsin teenager accused of using a Facebook scam to blackmail dozens of male students into sex acts has reached a plea agreement.

Nineteen-year-old Anthony Stancl, of New Berlin, pleaded no contest to two felonies.

In exchange, prosecutors dismissed 10 other charges. Stancl was accused of posing as a girl on Facebook and tricking more than 30 classmates into sending him naked photos of themselves, then using the photos to blackmail them for sex.

Waukesha County District Attorney Brad Schimel says he will recommend a "substantial" prison term.

Stancl faces a maximum of 50 years in prison when he is sentenced at a date to be determined.

Defence attorney Craig Kuhary declined to comment.
