By Dinesh Ramde, Associated Press Writer

WAUKESHA, Wis. – A Wisconsin teen 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 (STAN’-sihl) of New Berlin pleaded no contest Tuesday to two felonies. In exchange, prosecutors dismissed 10 other charges.

Waukesha County District Attorney Brad Schimel says he will recommend a “substantial” prison. Stancl faces a maximum of 50 years in prison when he is sentenced at a date to be determined.

Defense attorney Craig Kuhary (koo-HAYR’-ee) declined to comment.

Stancl is 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.
