Sextortion at Eisenhower High

Sextortion at Eisenhower High. "Last year, an awkward high school senior in Wisconsin went online, passed himself off as a flirtatious female student, and conned dozens of his male classmates into e-mailing him sexually explicit images of themselves. What he did next will likely send him to jail for a very long time."

Word. I was about due for a double.

What he did seems twice as bad the second time around.

But they had it coming, falling for it a second time.

Well, I read it, and missed it the first time. Interesting story, but I hate the "we're going to make you know these people" type of writing.

....I have to wonder whether a story about teenage girls, instead of boys, being forced into sex would also be seen as "a hell of a good story" and notable enough for a double post, rather than just tut-tutted over and dismissed because it's "routine."
Mind you, NO ONE should be forced into sex. I'd just like to see stories about victims of BOTH genders given equal weight.

I'm appalled.
Truly gobsmacked.
They let you write for GQ when you write like that?
And then they publish it?

....Sorry, I should clarify...
In my little tantrum above, I should have blamed the media itself for giving so much weight to this case, and not writing any scandalous-expose- articles of cases where girls were the victims instead. Snarking about the blue wasn't fair -- we can't post to the blue if the article doesn't exist.

Sure it's a double, but I welcome any chance to say "sextortion".

Yeah, it's a very strange piece to say the least.

I'm not sure the author "equated" queers with sexual predators. The subject here happened to be both.

So... the jock let the extortionist suck him off and photograph it, even after he knew he was being played? That is very, very unusual.

Here is a link to make up for the double. This is awesome: Liu Bolin - The Invisible Man.
