Mass. woman could get 30 years for posing as boy:

Carissa Hads Pleads Guilty in Clarksburg Court:

25-year-old Carissa Hads of Quincy, Massachusetts was arrested back in May of this year for crossing state lines with the intent to have sex (child rape) with a minor. Wait, people are still using MySpace in 2012? Anyway, it wasn’t a boy who Hads was traveling to West Virginia for but a 15-year-old girl.

Hads had posted as an 18-year-old boy on MySpace and altered her appearance to complete the ruse. Investigators say that Had traveled to West Virginia multiple times to meet the girl. At one meeting Hads had sexual contact with the girl but obviously did not undress. Hads used a back brace to disguise her chest.

This past week Hads pleaded guilty and is looking at 30 years behind bars.

Sexual predators of any gender will go to great lengths to keep up any ruse as long as it gets them what they want. Your kids will be better off knowing that strangers on the internet no matter how cool or understanding they seem to be are more than capable of spinning elaborate lies to get whatever they want.
