Polk County (WQOW) - A man charged with threatening a teenaged girl unless she sent him nude pictures of herself is ordered to register as a sex offender.
That's part of the sentence handed down Wednesday for Kevin Strenke, 27.
A 14-year old girl from Chippewa Falls says Strenke threatened to tell her relatives that she had smoked marijuana and had sex with him if she didn't send the pictures. The girl then used her phone to send him nude photos and Strenke sent some of himself to her.
A Polk County judge also ordered Strenke to complete sex offender treatment and spend two years on probation. If he doesn't comply with the restrictions, he faces up to four months in jail.
