An Ohio man accused in a dating-service phone scam has pleaded guilty to two counts of extortion.
Prosecutors say Kevin Zunk and a co-defendant, both of Toledo, convinced people in the dating service that they had sent racy photos and messages to a a cell phone that belonged to his 11-year-old son.
The Blade reports 43-year-old Zunk told a federal judge Friday that he got the idea for the scam after he received an explicit photo on his phone by mistake.
