School resource officers from across Alabama and the nation fielded complaints about an Internet extortionist badgering girls for nude pictures. Victims even created a Facebook page warning females not to talk to the person with the username Metascape.
Metascape turned out to be Jonathan Vance, an Alabama man who made lewd cyber requests of 206 girls and young women and attempted to hack into and gain control of their e-mail, Facebook and MySpace accounts, federal authorities say. He was successful in at least 53 cases.
