MAN JAILED FOR PORN BLACKMAIL OFFENCE INVOLVING CANADIAN
A New Jersey man who blackmailed a Canadian girl to strip naked online is going to prison. A judge on Friday sentenced 32-year-old Michael Van Culin to 10 years in prison for manufacturing child pornography. He will be eligible for parole in 81/2 years. Van Culin admitted he recorded the 16-year-old while she stripped on her webcam. Prosecutors say he had engaged in online chats with her in which he elicited information about her life that he used to hack into her email account and get other personal information.
