Location of identified sextortion victims

Exhaustive list of Chansler IDs

The FBI is trying to identify victims of an online predator who in August 2014 was sentenced to 105 years in federal prison for “sextortion,” specifically the targeting 350 minors in 26 different states in a scheme to produce online pornography.

So far, 109 victims have been positively identified, but the FBI believes there are more victims it has yet to identify.

Lucas Michael Chansler used 135 known screen names, including Myspace, Stickam and AIM while sending threatening communications to hundreds of teen girls over the Internet. At first, he pretended to be a friend, acquaintance or admirer of the victims, then invited victims to engage in live video chats, where he would ask them to expose themselves. Unbeknownst to the victim, he was recording the video session.

He then demanded additional and more graphic images, informing the victim that if she did not comply, he would distribute the images and videos online, and send them to her family and friends.
