Girls begged a Florida man to stop demanding increasingly sexual images of them – and some of their parents intervened – but still he persisted, authorities said.

Between August 2019 and December 2019, Brandon Huu Le targeted at least 270 girls on Snapchat, according to an Aug 29 news release from the US Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Michigan. When girls responded, he’d turn conversations sexual and start to threaten them, officials said.
