Internet Provides Vehicle for Sex Crimes Against Underage Girls

With the internet so easily accessible to almost anyone, it provides opportunity for men to lure underage girls into sexual encounters violating state laws. A few recent examples below give the concept of how this is being done and law enforcement has units set up to investigate and arrest individuals who involve themselves in this activity.

Facebook Mistakes to Learn From

A teenage girl posted her telephone number on Face book for her friends. A predator tracked down her address and began to observe her house, noting when her parents left and came home. He wound up raping the girl and is now serving prison time. Many teens are aware of not putting their personal information on social network sites but they also need to know that a predator can track them by seeing information posted about hang outs, parties and events where they may go for recreation.

Another example of sex crimes through the vehicle of the internet involved a homeless man who contacted over a thousand girls on the internet for sex and wound up having sex with a fifteen year old girl. He asked her to meet and told her he loved her. He was jailed for having underage sex; more commonly known as statutory rape.
