A male student at Ohio University has been charged with four felony charges for posing as a female online and enticing another male student to send nude photos of himself.

According to prosecutors, Dorian Graham, 19, convinced the student to send the photos through SnapChat, a photo-sharing app that allows users to see photos for a brief moment and are promptly deleted after viewing.

Graham then used these photos as blackmail and threatened to post them publicly on social media if the unidentified victim didn’t comply with sex.

Reports say that Graham removed the photos from social media after he extorted the male student into having sex with him on the university’s campus. The incident was reportedly recorded.

OU police say they were contacted by the victim shortly after the incident occurred.

Graham has been charged with sexual battery, attempted sexual battery, extortion and attempted extortion.

He has pleaded not guilty to the charges and is currently free on bond.
