"This case highlights both the serious dangers our children face online and the extraordinary bravery of students who came forward," police told Hudson Valley Post.

Police began an investigation in February 2025 after several Fieldstone Middle School students told school officials they were being coerced online.

"This crime is extremely serious and involves the victimization of students within our community. Police officials stress that sextortion is not only a local issue, but a global problem fueled by social media. Many parents may be unaware of the extent of these dangers. It is essential to create safe, judgment-free environments where children feel comfortable reporting concerns," the Stony Point Police Department stated.

100s of Victims Possible

As of this writing, six victims have come forward. But investigators fear there are "potentially several hundred additional victims who may not yet have reported their experiences."

Any additional victims are urged to contact Detective Andrew Kryger at 845-786-2422.
