Forest Lake man who authorities say posed as teen indicted for child pornography
A Forest Lake man who authorities say posed as a teenager and cyberstalked North Branch High School students has been indicted for production of child pornography, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
Damien William Quinn, also known as Ryan William Shattuck, 34, of Forest Lake, was arraigned Tuesday on an indictment charging him with four counts of production of child pornography, two counts of attempted production of child pornography, one count of receipt of child pornography and five counts of cyberstalking, U.S. Attorney Daniel N. Rosen’s office said in a press release.
He was ordered into custody until his trial.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office gave the following details about the indictment:
Quinn, who had multiple fake Snapchat and Instagram accounts, pretended to be a teenager to his minor victims and asked for sexually explicit photos and videos. He used those accounts to cyberstalk victims at North Branch High School, saying he had nude photos of them. He also shared nude photos of one victim, authorities allege.
The indictment alleges that he modified at least one photo to make the girl seem nude.
Authorities say they have identified 11 victims — six minors and five adults — but that there may be more. They ask anyone who attended the high school and had any suspicious online interactions with someone to call the FBI Tip Line at 1-800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225-5324).
