SHERMAN — A University of Texas at Dallas alum is expected to be sentenced Friday for running a breast study scam and threatening to publish a former classmate’s topless pictures if she didn’t send him more explicit photographs.

Nicholas Joseph Rotundo, 24, of Dallas was charged in 2014 with two counts of cyberstalking and one count of intrusion in the Eastern District of Texas.

He pleaded guilty in August to one count of cyberstalking, court records show.

Rotundo emailed women beginning in 2013 and asked them to participate in a “Breast Perception Study” he was conducting. He told them they would receive $8,500 to participate, authorities said. Participants had to send Rotundo photos of their breasts to be considered for the study.

Rotundo, a Google employee, graduated from UT-Dallas in 2013 with a bachelor’s of science degree in management information systems, according to his LinkedIn profile.

He was arrested while headed to London on a Google project, court records show.
