Local man extorted hundreds of teen girls for sexual photos JACKSONVILLE, Fla. Johns County man is serving 105 years in federal prison after pleading guilty to 9 counts of producing child pornography. The FBI said about 80,000 images and videos of child pornography were found on his computer. Using a mixture of deception and intimidation, he extorted sexually explicit and pornographic images of some 350 child victims in 3 countries. He is now serving 105 years in federal prison on nine charges of child pornography for his involvement in obtaining over 80,000 images and videos of child pornography from over 350 underage girls, the FBI Jacksonville office released Tuesday. The FBI says they first received a tip back in December of 2009 from a mother of a 15-year-old girl in Phoenix, Ariz. who had met a 15-year-old boy on MySpace - or so she thought. The young girl from Phoenix refused, but when she did, the 'boy' threatened to post the photos on the internet and send them to her friends and family. She then unwillingly complied to his requests for more sexually explicit images and videos, according to authorities. At the time, she believed he was just a 15-year-old boy.
