Summary
A Michigan man, 37, just pleaded guilty to trying to blackmail a minor by sending her nude photo to another convicted child pornographer—then demanding he use it to extort more explicit images. He also leaked her personal info, including siblings and friends, and even plotted to post the photo publicly to terrorize her. The FBI calls it one of the most chilling cases they’ve ever handled, and Bulanda faces a minimum 10-year sentence. This plea sends a stark warning: predators who weaponize fear and manipulation will face serious consequences. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
