Yeah, you left out some crucial information...
The boy said he WANTED to come to Australia and wanted to get married. RUMORS that somehow the parents hacked her computer/email. And also the PARENTS paid for her plane and/or train ticket for her to come up and "sort things out" with the whole taking him away thing.
Bail is $2.35 million and facing about 2 years jail time. Of course he is 17, close to 18 and also in Australia the legal age is 16, so maybe that is why she wasn't thinking bad would come of it.
Call it entrapment, call it luring a person into danger (I doubt she would've been so eager to come quickly had the parents of the boy NOT said they'd pay for her trip)...there could be a visit from the embassy to help sort things out.
I'd hit her... with a 747
Regardless of the shadiness of the situation, the fact remains that the woman was still willing to make an international flight based primarily on playing a game. I'm just wondering how some people can believe something like this is going to work out for the best. Did she think her and her new 17 year old boyfriend would be setting off on quests across the Australian outback?
hmm, I doubt if they played that much WoW, they would do any sort of quest on the Australian outback....probably stay at the house alot, if you know what I mean....to play video games!
I don't mean to defend her so much (call it playing devil's adovocate) but if someone offered you money to go to another country to at least MEET someone you WANTED to meet, would you do it or no?
Quest:
Slay 15 aborigines for their spines
Rewards:
Boomerang
I would I left Florida to meet my wife!
Damn rockvillian, that avatar cracks me up every time. Either way, yea, I can see why maybe the offer was enticing, but come on. In any case, it is sort of nice to see a woman getting busted for this rather than a creepy old man like on To Catch a Predator.
