The five boys Nab Sex Crime Suspect On-Line
An on line prank that had a tremendous silver lining. I can just see their parents asking, “so what did you do today Johnny?” Not much mom, we sheered Bobby up after he broke up with Sally and oh yea, by the way, we helped nab a potential sex offender.
Truth is stranger than fiction. This is exactly what happened in California.
The five boys created a fake profile of a girl on MySpace.com as a joke to cheer up their friend who had broken up with his girlfriend. What happened next no one could have believed.
Five boys who posted a fake profile of a 15-year-old girl as an Internet prank helped police arrest a 48-year-old man who tried to meet the fictitious teenager for sex, authorities said Monday.
The man also sent the “girl” his picture and arranged to meet her at a public park. The boys went to the park and, when the man arrived, they called police.
Michael Ramos, 48, of Fontana, was booked into West Valley Detention Center on Monday for investigation of felony attempted lewd and lascivious conduct with a child and for an outstanding warrant, Megenney said.
