\"\"A California man was sentenced Thursday to five years in prison for cyberstalking multiple young women in California in a \u201csextortion\u201d scheme, according to officials.<\/span><\/p>\n

Johao Miguel Chavarri, aka Michael Frito, waged the con while he was an active-duty member of the U.S. Marine Corps, officials stated.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

According to court documents, from May 2019 to February 2021,\u00a0 Chavarri, 26, of Torrance, stalked and sent anonymous threatening communications to numerous victims.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Chavarri, often using the name \u201cFrito,\u201d contacted victims on social media platforms, including Instagram, Snapchat, and Twitter, complimented their appearance and\/or their publicly posted photos, and suggested a relationship in which he would pay the victim to send him photos or videos, officials stated.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some of the victims initially agreed to Chavarri\u2019s requests and sent him nude, sexually explicit, or compromising photos. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"When victims refused Chavarri\u2019s initial request for photos, refused to send him additional photos or videos, or otherwise refused to continue to communicate with him online, Chavarri began to harass, threaten, and extort the victims using numerous online accounts. <\/span><\/p>\n

In most cases, he threatened to publish sexual photos and videos of the victims online or on well-known pornography websites and\/or to distribute the sexual photos or videos to the victims\u2019 boyfriends, friends, families, or employers, who he would often specifically identify by name.<\/span><\/p>\n

Chavarri was also ordered to pay a $15,000 fine.<\/span><\/p>\n

The FBI Los Angeles Field Office, Long Beach Resident Agency, investigated the case, with assistance from the Naval Criminal Investigative Service. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Assistant U.S. Attorney Lauren Restrepo for the Central District of California and Senior Trial Attorney Mona Sedky of the Criminal Division\u2019s Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section prosecuted the case.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
