Man, 23, arrested for coercing 11-year-old girl to send nude photos on Facebook

A 23-year-old man was arrested on Friday after a police operation revealed that he had coerced an 11-year-old girl into sending him nude photographs of herself on Facebook.

The operation began when the young girl’s father reported that one of his daughter’s Facebook “friends” had posed as a teenage girl and tricked her into sending nude photographs after threatening to publish a separate set of pictures they had exchanged that she did not want her parents to see.

Officers found photographs of another unidentified underage girl on the 23-year-old’s computer.
