A 21-year-old Ohio man faces an indictment for sextortion charges involving a minor from Missouri, according to recent reports.

Nicholas Scott has been charged with several offenses, including sexual extortion, the illegal use of a minor in nudity-oriented material, nine counts of child endangerment, and three counts of nonconsensual dissemination of private sexual images. These charges were reported by WLWT.

The case came to light when the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, in conjunction with the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, alerted the Clermont County Sheriff’s Office in October. The tip-off concerned an incident that allegedly occurred on the social media platform Snapchat in July.

Investigators managed to identify the juvenile victim residing in Missouri and reached out to the victim and their guardians for assistance.

According to prosecutors, the victim was under the impression that they were interacting with a woman online. Under this false assumption, the victim sent a nude image to the account managed by Scott. It was later revealed that Scott was impersonating a woman, and he subsequently coerced the victim by threatening to distribute the images to their acquaintances unless more photos and videos were provided.

Officials said the minor was snot the only victim and that Scott used photos and videos of an adult woman — who was a real person who lived in Colorado and did not know her images were being used — to solicity material and money.

Investigators traced the Snapchat accounts information to his home in Tate Township and secured a warrant to search the home on December 26.

Officials say he cooperated with the search and provided a statement in which he took responsibility and said there were no local victims.

He was booked into jail that day and was held on a $100,000 bond, but the bond has since been revoked.

Deputies said they were working with NCMEC and ICAC to identify further victims.
