Kid uses facebook to blackmail classmates into sex.

From a purely depraved perspective, Anthony R. Stancl's plot was simple and effective. He went on Facebook posing as a girl named "Kayla," then chatted up his male classmates at Eisenhower High School in New Berlin, Wisconsin. The fictitious "Kayla" had a way with the boys, convincing 31 to send Stancl pictures of themselves naked...

​But that's when "Kayla" would turn on her Facebook lovers. Once they sent the photos, she would threaten to send them to the rest of the school unless they had sex with fellow student Anthony R. Stancl.

It didn't work on all 31, but police believe at least seven boys fell for the ruse. They would meet for sex with Stancl in the high school bathroom, the school parking lot, the men's room at the public library, and various parks around town. The victims ranged in age from 13-19.

The scam might have continued if Stancl hadn't overplayed his cards. One 15-year-old boy repeatedly had sex with Stancl to avoid having his naked photos sent around the school. Stancl would then photograph the encounters to add to his leverage.

Then Stancl tried to push the envelope, asking for naked pictures of the boy's brother. The kid didn't want his brother involved, so he told his parents, who in turn called the cops. When detectives grabbed Stancl's computer, they found it loaded with evidence, containing more than 300 nude photos of classmates at Eisenhower High School.

Stancl originally faced 12 felonies that could have landed him nearly 300 years in prison. But yesterday, he pleaded no contest to lesser charges of sexual assault and repeated sexual assault of a minor. The 19-year-old still faces up to 50 years in the slam.

Detectives say the victims were more than happy with the plea, since it kept them from having to out themselves in court.

"I've never had a case where the victims and their families were more apprehensive about testifying," Waukesha County district attorney Brad Schimel told the Associated Press. "From the victims' perspective, they're relieved we're doing this."
