A 21-year-old man from New York has been charged with internet extortion and cyber stalking in Michigan, announced United States Attorney Barbara L. McQuade.
Adam Paul Savader, a Great Neck, New York, resident, was charged in a criminal complaint in the Eastern District of Michigan with internet extortion and cyber stalking.
Joining in the announcement were Special Agent in Charge Robert D. Foley III, Federal Bureau of Investigation, and Chief John Seto, Ann Arbor Police Department.
According to the affidavit, from May 2012 through February 2013, Adam Paul Savader sent anonymous text messages using Google Voice numbers to 15 women stating that he had nude photographs of the women and threatening to distribute the nude photographs to the women’s friends and family members unless the women sent him more nude photographs of themselves.
The case was brought to the attention of the Federal Bureau of Investigation by Detectives from the Ann Arbor Police Department, who received a complaint from a victim stating that she had received threatening messages from a person who had illegally obtained nude photographs of her from her email account.
Adam Paul Savader faces a maximum penalty of five years’ imprisonment if convicted on these charges.
Savader is currently in federal custody in New York awaiting removal to Michigan.
A complaint is only a charge and is not evidence of guilt.
When the investigation is completed, a determination will be made whether to seek a felony indictment.
