The FBI is seeking potential victims in New Mexico of a Florida man who they say tricked hundreds of females into giving him sexual explicit images of themselves.
26-year-old Lucas Michael Chansler, of St. Johns, Florida, pleaded guilty last year to several counts of child pornography production but 250 images he had remain unidentified.
FBI spokesman Frank Fisher says the images may involve New Mexico teens.
According to Fisher, Chansler operated a "sextortion" scheme dating back to 2007.
He posed as a teenage boy on social media sites and manipulated girls into sending photos or exposing themselves. He then threatened to post or share them if they didn't send more pictures or videos.
The FBI previously identified victims from New Mexico in other images.
