Richard Finkbiner arrested for sexually exploiting children may have uncovered largest 'sextortion' case in U.S history

Authorities fear a western Indiana man arrested on a single count of sexual exploitation of children may have coerced hundreds of young victims into recording and sending him sexually explicit images.

If so, federal officials say it could be the largest case of 'sextortion' in the U.S.

Richard Finkbiner, 39, was arrested at his home on Friday after two 14-year-old boys reported him to police in their home states of Maryland and Michigan.
