Nathan Hasty used a fake Facebook
page to solicit nekked photographs from children, including ones who belonged
to Youth for Christ. An FBI agent tasked to the case told WANE that Hasty
established multiple Facebook accounts under false names in order to initiate
conversations of a sexual nature with underage boys.
Eventually, he would attempt to
coerce the boys into sending him nekked photographs.
In the fake accounts, Hasty
pretended to be a lascivious sixteen-year-old girl and struck up conversations
with boys, mostly between the ages of 12 and 14. He would eventually ask them
to send nekked photographs, and even enticed some of them into webcam sessions
in which he watched them masturbate while claiming he didn’t have a camera.
