EL PASO, Texas — The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is looking for victims in Colorado after a Texas man pleaded guilty to cyberstalking.

According to court documents, 21-year-old Hugo Cardona Jr. got access to young girls' Snapchat accounts to steal their intimate pictures and videos.

Cardona then contacted the girls on social media and told them to apologize or he would release their pictures.
