- Investigators say he posed as multiple online personas — including an adult film star from the Netherlands — on platforms like TikTok and Snapchat to catfish boys ages 14–17.
- At least 14 teens allegedly sent explicit images believing they were messaging an attractive young female, and two victims were threatened with $500 demands to keep material private.
- The complaint alleges a 15-year-old was coerced to use adult dating apps to have sex with adult men and to record the acts, and that a school wrestling team was secretly filmed in its locker room six times.
- Peters Township School District reports no immediate safety risk and is offering support services, while advocacy groups urge parents and peers to watch for trauma signs and report suspected sextortion.
