A married State Department employee has been arrested and accused of 'sextorting' college students from his computer at the U.S. Embassy in London.
Father-of-one Michael C. Ford from Alpharetta, Georgia, allegedly hacked into computers of victims as young as 18, stole sexually explicit photos and then tried to blackmail them.
Authorities, who detained him at Atlanta's Hartfield Jackson International Airport last week, say in one case he posed as a Google employee to obtain a password and sometimes referred to himself as a 'talent scout'.
Allegations: Father-of-one Michael C. Ford allegedly hacked into computers of college students as young as 18 from the US Embassy in London (pictured) and stole sexually explicit photos of them in a blackmail scheme
Among the women he targeted were an 18-year-old from Kentucky and a 22-year-old from Illinois.
In one instance, Ford told an unidentified woman who complained of his hacking that he was innocent and would send out photos of her if she went to police, according to a criminal affidavit.
Prosecutors say Ford then threatened to post the images online unless the women complied with his demands, such as requests that they shoot videos of other women undressing.
In one email, he wrote: 'I want you to video girls in the changing room (of her gym). If you don't, I send your details and pictures to everyone.
