UPDATE, February 24, 2010: Stancl gets 15 years in prison in Facebook coercion case
_________________
It's official. Anthony Stancl is a convicted sex offender.
From the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:
Anthony Stancl, the former New Berlin Eisenhower High School student accused of using the social networking site Facebook to coerce male schoolmates into sexual encounters, was found guilty Tuesday of two counts of sexual assault.
Stancl was convicted by Waukesha County Circuit Judge James R. Kieffer after Stancl entered no contest pleas to the two felonies, which involved separate sexual assaults of two boys.
As part of a plea bargain, 10 other felony counts were dismissed but will be considered when Stancl is sentenced. No sentencing date was set Tuesday.
District Attorney Brad Schimel said he will ask that Stancl receive a substantial prison term when he is sentenced.
The 19-year-old Stancl faces up to 30 years in prison and 20 years of extended supervision when released from prison. Had he been convicted of all 12 counts, Stancl faced up to 176.5 years behind bars.
Schimel said in court that Stancl's victims agreed with the plea bargain and were pleased that a trial requiring them to testify was avoided. The case had been scheduled to go to trial in January.
I can understand why the victims were pleased that they didn't have to testify in a trial.
Stancl always had that in his favor. His victims would want to avoid testifying at all costs. Even after his crimes were exposed, Stancl still wielded a degree of control over his victims.
So Stancl could get 30 years in prison. Although District Attorney Brad Schimel says he'll ask for a substantial prison term, I'd be surprised if Stancl gets a tough sentence. I guess it depends on how one defines "substantial."

Let me get this straight. A husky queer
kid manages to convince dozens of teens
at his same school that he is a GIRL attractive
enough to have sex with? Then they themselves
commit the crime (at least here in Canada)
of distributing underage porn (doesn't matter
if it is self-made) and only when a bomb
threat is uncovered, revealing that they
got blowjobs, they then cry blackmail and
victimization? BullSHIT. I've been a gay man
too long to believe Tony isn't the patsy here.
I suggest you look into the details of the case, what Stancl did and how he did it, before crying BS.
In my opinion, his victims used incredibly poor judgment and bear some responsibility for their fates.
Thank you Mary for keeping us updated! This disgusting, perverted predator deserves life.
