An Indiana man could face up to 30 years in prison for allegedly "sexploiting" teenage boys over the internet.
Richard Leon Finkbiner, 39, of Brazil faces two charges of sexual exploitation of children after he allegedly coerced at least two 14-year-old boys into sending him explicit videos and threatening to make the videos public if they did not continue to send videos.
According to a statement released by the FBI, thousands of photos and videos were found on Finkbiner's computer containing hundreds of possible victims.
U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Indiana Joe Hogsett said in the statement that there could be victims across the country.
"This defendant may not remember his alleged victims, but the true tragedy is that not one of them will ever forget," Hogsett said.
Investigators cannot estimate a number of victims until forensic evidence is processed, the statement said.
In the two known cases, victims were from Michigan and Maryland and were allegedly communicating with Finkbiner from November 2011 through February 2012.
According to the compliant, Finkbiner allegedly coerced the Michigan victim into sending him explicit videos on two nights and insisted that he continue to send videos or he would make the video public online.
The victim eventually broke down and told his brother who alerted his parents. The victim in Maryland told his guardians what was happening before sending additional videos.
According to Tim Horty, a spokesperson for the U.S. Department of Justice, no other victims have been identified yet.
The complaint against Finkbiner alleges that he admitted to victimizing at least 100 young boys.
"We think it may have started further back but how far back is difficult to say at this point," Horty said.
Finkbiner is being held without bond.
Authorities are searching for other victims.
