A police chief in the Poconos calls it one of the most diabolical cases of revenge he's ever seen.
A teen allegedly set up a fake Facebook account to get back at the people he says bullied him.
And then it got really ugly.
It all started with the alleged victims receiving a Facebook friend request from someone named Jessica Carabello.
What the teen boys didn't know, was that Jessica was really a 14 year old boy from Tobyhanna.
“The suspect was being vengeful about being bullied somewhat in the school," said Pocono Mountain Regional Police Chief, Christopher Wagner. "Whether real or perceived and decided to target specific individuals and it kind of grew from there.”
Once the friend request was accepted, "Jessica," the suspect would ask the boys to exchange naked pictures.
They complied, but instead of getting a pic in return police said the victims were then terrorized by the suspect.
“Obviously greed came into play and then the suspect started to ask for gift cards and or say that if you don’t sent me more pics that I am going to put the original ones on the internet,” said Wagner.
The suspect attended junior high in the Pocono Mountain School District.
District officials said they never received complaints of bullying, and believe everything happened off school property.
Furthermore a spokesperson states, "Our school district, like most, provides students with instruction on computer, social media and cell phone safety, but it takes all of us continually working together as a team to keep our youth safe when using such electronic devices."
Police said the investigation in to the case is ongoing.
Right now they’re currently going through that fake Facebook page and going through all the contacts to see if there are more victims.
“It was kind of diabolical is the best term I can use in this kind of case," added Wagner. "It put a lot of our most vulnerable people, our kids, into a really bad position.”
So far police have close to 50 victims and the suspect is in juvenile detention.
