LI lacrosse coach, 20, allegedly 'sextorted' 30 boys in twisted Snapchat blackmail scheme
"'So I'm not gonna delete them for a guy that blocked me unless he gives me a good reason to,' Garofalo allegedly wrote, adding, 'send stuff of ur boys naked n I'll delete.'"
"The mother of the 13-year-old boy reached out to the FBI in October, saying her son had been targeted by a predator on Snapchat, according to the federal complaint."
Joseph Garofalo, a 20-year-old assistant boys lacrosse coach from Valley Stream High School, faces serious charges for allegedly sextorting at least 30 boys, including a 13-year-old. He coerced victims into sharing explicit images over Snapchat, using threats to ensure compliance. Despite a plea of not guilty, a federal judge denied bail after hearing the egregious details of the case, prompting concern among the community and triggering an investigation by the FBI after a parent reported the chilling predatory behavior. None of the victims were from his school.
