WoW: Boy Finds 42-Year-Old Woman 'Soulmate'

Giggity

/facepalm

You're doing it wrong...

She picked a heck of a state to live in and participate in these activities. Next article "Texas woman receives death penalty over WOW love"

Can't we all be happy that a WoW addicted gamer got some? Cougar gamer FTW

Agreed I guess, I have addicted friends and it's a sad life they live. From their point of view they seem to get as much attention as they could ever want, but from the outside they're sad shut-ins who never tag along to the movies or out for a drive or anything else for that matter.
(Wonders what would happen if Blizzard went under...)

Sad, and yet very very strange.

Hmm. Wonder if they will get an 'Achievement' unlock for this.

Kid’s parent’s reaction: Mom is crying... my baby was molested; Dad is high-fiving the kid behind Moms back thinking to himself dam I’m glad he isn’t gay!

Ok while I dont agree with her doing this. How do I not commit a crime in another country, but get arrested when I am back home for a crime. Its like gambling in Vegas and having the local cop arrest you for it when you get home. Or going to a prositute in Amsterdam, and then get brought up on charges when you get back. Can someone explain it to me, because I am just not getting it.

While gross, it shouldn't be illegal.

strange...

Nice to know my tax dollars are being spent on this crap.
Fucking ridiculous.

You sir made me laugh!

The enticement originated in Texas so that's where she crossed the legal line. Sounds like a lot of people dropped the ball on parenting this kid. They both need help.

As for people cheering, what if it was a 42yo man enticing a 16yo girl? People would talk about much of a perversion of the 42yo man.

Andrew: Yes, it's big.. My Two-handed staff has +900 everything.
Lauri: I'm gonna hop on my flying mount and meet you in Canada.

IANAL, but my guess is that she probably wasn't arrested for meeting with the boy in Canada, but for the sex chat and messages exchanged while she was in Texas. Just a guess here.

The way I read it, she was arrested on the flight back home, not after she got back home. So technically, she was in US airspace and still in the US. Now the reason that she was arrested, is because while what she did was not illegal in her home country, it was illegal in the country that the activity took place in (the US). Example: If you are from a country where pot is illegal and go to a country where pot is legal, and buy it, you have done nothing wrong since the actions were legal where they took place (we're assuming that you buy it and then smoke it and do not cross any borders with it). However, if you live in a country where pot is legal and travel to a country where it is illegal, then you can face charges in that country since you broke that countrys law(s).

i don't know but when i was reading it i found my self twiching.... alot

One thing the article mentioned, and didn't fully clarify, was that the boy lied about his age. He said he was 20 years old. Did the woman know he was only 16? Furthermore, how does one actually go about verifying the age of somebody they are talking to online?

I'm not a law-expert by any stretch of the imagination, but how would a trial go in something like this?

Though she met the boy in Canada, she did commit a crime in Texas. She contributed to the deliquency of a minor, lewd conduct (sex chats), etc. etc. It's just the same as if she were to gamble online (with a Vegas casino), or solicit an Amsterdam prostite online, from Texas.

Bottom line though, she just pissed people off and they found a way to lock her up.

not if you dont buy it and smoke it in that country you cant... she didnt bring the kid back with her.

Both of them may be extremely sad cases, but I can't see blaming HER for the failures of HIS parents, nor for HIS disobedience when they said "No." "Ask your parents" may have been unreasonable, but it doesn't sound like criminal wrongdoing. Her intentions may have been outside the bounds of typical Christian pseudo-morality, but that also doesn't make them wrong; I'm not sure whose rights were being violated here, even if some poor decisions were made.

I feel bad for these two individuals. One of my friends online actually moved to Brazil in November to marry a 41 year old he met online. I haven't seen a happier couple to be honest. Not sure how this will all hold up in court, but it should be a good read.

Yes it will be called "The Price You Pay"

The pic that is posted here is misleading (and it was posted on a local news site as well) but now a local news station in Houston has posted a recent pic, holy crap! Fugly doesn't even come close to describing it.

First, she did take the kid with her. They were spotted at a FUTURE SHOP. Future shop is the Canadian equivalent of Best Buy (and owned by them as well). Since the store ONLY exist in Canada, there is no way that they could have been spotted at one in the US, so she MUST have taken, or enticed the boy to go to Canada with her. The Canadian govt only said that since it was not illegal in Canada (since 16 is age of consent), that they would not press further charges. Had the boy been 15, she would probably have been charged in both the US and Canada since they were in both countries.

The way the story reads, it says she was arrested on (during) the flight back home, which means she must have still been within the US since it would otherwise require extradition by the Canadian govt.

And as for my last sentence, I was implying that if you bought it in that country, not if you just traveled. If that were the case, people would be getting arrested all the time for something they did in other countries.

NO. He is a 16-year old CHILD.

I know people dont think sexual abuse is as serious with boys... but this woman is still taking advantage of his innocence and manipulated him. This is wrong, not funny.

Yikes! Well I'm glad his parents were smart enough to know that this was an unhealthy relationship for their son. I think it sucks for the woman that the kid lied to her about being 20 (legal age) and she gets thrown in jail while the kid receives no punishment. Although I'm sure the kid will be grounded from WoW permanently, or at least until he moves out. Either way I'm still glad she got thrown in jail. 42-year old woman preying is what it really sounds like to me. I don't think this even falls into the cougar-pup category...

^-1. More information is needed, but I see where he manipulated her by lying about his age, but nothing that makes clear that she manipulated him. I certainly don't wish to imply that she acted reasonably, or that the situation isn't really unfortunate, but I don't yet see where a crime was commited.

So Freud was right...about the Oedipus complex anyway. It would appear that the young lad has found his Big Mommy substitute...and this one he can even have sex with. Perversion at both ends of this one.
