MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — An 18-year-old man was charged after police say he posted a nude photo of a 15-year-old girl who refused to have sex with him.
Deuvtontay Charles, of Minneapolis, was charged with solicitation of a minor to engage in sexual conduct and solicitation of a child to engage in sexual conduct.
According to the charges, Apple Valley Police received a complaint against Charles on Jan. 29.
Officers spoke with a 15-year-old girl who reported that Charles convinced her to send him nude photos of herself but after she sent him a few pictures, he started blackmailing her.
She told police Charles said if she didn’t have sex with him, he would post the photos on Facebook and Instagram, and distribute them to others.
Police said Charles created a Facebook page with the victim’s information and posted at least one photo on that page.
If convicted, Charles faces up to six years in prison and/or up to $10,000 in fines.
