Miss New Jersey Being Blackmailed

It never ends with these wacky pageant girls.

A mysterious blackmailer has threatened to make public a series of personal Web photo graphs of Miss New Jer sey Amy Polumbo un less she surrenders the crown.

But Polumbo, a blond beauty from Howell who won her crown last month on a campaign to protect children from In ternet predators, vowed to fight the anonymous on line scoundrel.

"Ironically, I am now being victimized by the very threat to which I have committed myself to seek out and expose," said Polumbo, a senior at Wagner College on Staten Island.

"I will work even harder now to show our youth by my example that the Internet can be used as a weapon or a tool."

Polumbo's lawyer, Anthony Caruso, said the photos came from her page on Facebook, a social-networking site. The page was designated as private, which means the only people allowed access to the page are invited friends.
