Mitchell w. Hill. was arrested in Key West, Florida, on charges he used Facebook to sexually harass Sorority promises of Louisiana State University.Officers for the LSU campus Florida Department of Law Enforcement officers Thursday arrested 27-year-old Mitchell Hill at a home in Key West, where he worked as a chef at a Cuban restaurant.
He knows so far only costs of Louisiana, but Florida Department of Law Enforcement spokesman Keith Kameg said that Hill is suspected cyber harassment investigations by the police at the University of Florida, Florida State University and other schools of Florida possibly.
Similar cases have also been reported at Auburn University, the University of Alabama and the University of Tennessee, but said investigators that he probably is other.
"This is really a huge sense of relief" knowing there was an arrest said 18 Florida State student Ashley Atchison, who temporarily left school because she was so traumatized.
Hill, who left in Florida Cincinnati in the past two years, was detained without binding in Monroe County jail after he refused to abandon the extradition of an appearance on Friday at Key West.
He was accused of two counts of extortion, two counts of video voyeurism and 12 counts of attempted video voyeurism. Extortion is the most serious charge that carries a maximum sentence of 15 years in prison. Charge of video voyeurism can carry up to five years in prison.
Hill, lawyer Richard Fowler does not immediately return a call seeking comment.
Police campus in Louisiana and Florida said victims in both States were contacted by Facebook by someone claiming to be an alumna of the Sorority that they have pledged. The names of false used stalker "Marissa" and "Lexie," intimate questions and demanded that victims undress before the camera or sending nude photos.
If they do comply, cyber harasser would threaten their orders with their Sorority, said LSU police Sgt Blake Tabor.
Atchison said in a telephone interview from her home in Jacksonville, refused the requirements for images by claiming that it was not a camera. Then "Lexie" began to play mind games and suggests a couple of young girls that were before his residence would be "manage" him.
"I started to move towards counselling centre because I was with off-the-wall dreams and I put on medicine because I sleep," said Atchison. "This is any type of monstrous when someone knows where your home is, what is your class schedule."
Hill was ingenious to find personal information regarding the victims on Facebook, says Tabor.
"What we hope is that by this inquiry that it raise you popular information that they put you there and everything is easily attainable how, said Tabor.".
Investigators LSU had worked on the case since early October and finally obtained a break when Facebook has provided leading Hill, Tabor said.
The authorities will ask Governor of Louisiana Bobby Jindal to request Hill be extradited to Louisiana. But that won't happen until a charge of drunk driving against Hill is resolved in Florida.
FDLE officers also served to a search warrant where Hill was arrested. They seized his computer and handed over to the police LSU, Wilson said.
Atchison, meanwhile, back in January at the State of Florida.
"It has been long time coming", she says. "But I'm very excited, he was finally caught and not to do any other girls."
