A 22-year-old man from Washington Township, New Jersey, has been charged with stalking one teenage girl and soliciting sexually explicit photos from another via Facebook.
Prosecutors have accused Brandon McIntyre of using the alias "Katie
Thompson" to encourage one young girl to go on trips with him last
August.
When the girl declined the invitation, McIntyre, masquerading as
Katie, threatened to hurt her boyfriend and kill members of her family,
according to federal prosecutors.
McIntyre is also alleged to have sent explicit photos of himself to
another girl, aged 12, via Facebook Messenger. In return, he is said to
have asked her to send sexually explicit photos of herself but when she
refused he allegedly claimed he was a police officer with the ability to
make her life a "living hell" if she did not comply with his demands.
Prosecutors say that McIntyre also threatened the girl with fines and
expulsion from school, as well as jail time, when she refused to send
him the photos.
He now faces one charge of stalking and one count of sexual
exploitation of a minor. If convicted he could face a maximum penalty of
five years in prison and a $250,000 fine for stalking, and up to 30
years in jail along with another $250,000 fine for the sexual
exploitation charge.
McIntyre is currently serving a 187 day sentence in Hunterdon County
Jail for another offence after pleading guilty to stalking,
impersonating a law enforcement officer, and harassment back in May.
