Conn. man John Joaquim hijacked woman's Facebook, demanded naked pictures as ransom: cops
An online sextortionist in Connecticut hacked into a woman's Facebook and Gmail accounts and then demanded that she send him nude photos of herself to get the accounts back, police said.
John Joaquim, 19, of Monroe, Conn., allegedly broke into the 20-year-old woman's accounts and sent her messages on June 14 demanding the steamy pics as ransom, cops said.
The woman complained to police, who tracked the messages and identified Joaquim as a suspect, cops said.
Joaquim tued himself in on Monday and was charged with extortion and computer crimes.
Friends of the victim, who was not identified, said she was shaken up by the incident.
"She feels pretty violated," pal Katii Durrell told WTNH television.
Joaquim was released on $7,500 bond and is due back in court on Aug. 17.
