Miss Teen "Sextortion" Suspect Arrested

A 19-year-old Temecula man was arrested in connection with the alleged "sextortion" scheme involving Miss Teen USA, the FBI said on Thursday.

Jared James Abrahams was arrested in connection with anonymously hacking several online accounts to extort young females into sending him nude photos and video or submitting to 5-minute Skype sessions, the FBI said in a press release.

One of the alleged victims was Miss USA Cassidy Wolf, officials said.

She was the victim of someone who hacked into a webcam in her Southern California bedroom in an attempt to extort nude photographs from her, officials said.

Abrahams was arrested Thursday morning after surrendering to FBI agents in Orange County.
