A former Mitt Romney campaign intern is in hot water.
The New York Daily News reports that 21-year-old Adam Savader was arrested in Great Neck, N.Y. on Tuesday by the FBI. He was charged with cyberstalking and blackmailing women online, according to authorities.
News 12 Long Island adds that court documents show Savader allegedly used both the Internet and text messages. He claimed he had naked pictures of the women and vowed to send them to friends and family if more were not provided.
According to AnnArbor.com, FBI agents provided a count of 15 females that were allegedly victimized. The affidavit was filed on April 17, and a college student in the Michigan area reported the alleged misconduct to Ann Arbor police back in September 2012. The Daily News notes that the woman there is from Great Neck, N.Y.

Former Romney Campaign Intern Charged With Using Nude Photos to Blackmail Women
By Margaret Hartmann
At just 21, Adam Savader has already served as Paul Ryan's "sole intern on @MittRomney's campaign and a @newtgingrichcampaign staffer," as he put it on Twitter. Now that impressive resume is marred with and arrest by the FBI on charges of cyber-stalking and blackmailing. The Long Island college student allegedly obtained nude photos from 15 women's hacked online accounts, then threatened to make them public unless they sent him more naked pictures. Most of the threats mentioned friends and family members, but one message threatened to report the young woman's sexting to her parents, her sorority, and the Republican National Committee.
