This creepy bastard was arrested by the Feds on a variety of child pornography related offenses (including two (2) counts of production of child porn, one (1) count of advertising child porn, three (3) counts of receipt of child porn and one (1) count of possession of child porn), has pleaded guilty to three (3) of them and will now serve a minimum of fifteen (15) years (with a potential eighty (80) year max) in federal prison (where I predict that he will make a bevy of new, er, friends…).
Anton reportedly victimized at least 178 high school boys from all over the country by posing online as a young woman and seducing the boys to send him nude photos of themselves. Per the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Minnesota Anton first started preying on boys in 2011, approaching them on social media and identifying himself under aliases such as “Marie Anna” and “Courtney Jansgen”, claiming to be a young woman who had just moved to Minnesota from Illinois who was looking for new friends, or that he worked for a nude modeling agency or that he was a college student at the University of Minnesota, but in any event Anton would follow up by sending the boys nude photos of the women that he was claiming to be in an effort to get his victims to send photos back.
Anton’s home in Eagan, Minnesota was searched and authorities seized a variety of electronic devices, including a thumb drive that reportedly contained folders of nude images and videos that were organized by name and age, and some of which also named the victims’ high schools. As is the case with many criminal cases, Anton’s quick guilty plea resulted in reduced charges (he was not formally charged with any criminal sexual conduct) but still, and as afore stated, he is guaranteed to serve a minimum of of fifteen (15) years (with a potential eighty (80) year max) in federal prison, where poetic (or Hammurabi-style, depending upon your vantage) justice is damn near certain to occur.
Memo to the Folks: Forgetting child porn… Social Media is full of dangers and pitfalls, and you may well not be communicating with whom you think that you are speaking…
