Why do creepy people have to turn up absolutely everywhere? As soon as you set up a place for people to socialise and gather online, you can bet your bottom dollar that it'll be less than a week before the local pedophile commune sets up shop. Speaking of which, Xbox Live is no exception, and its latest big scumbag is 20-year old Joshua Stetar, recently arrested for stalking a 15-year old girl he met on Halo.

After talking to her over Xbox Live, Stetar apparently became more than a little infatuated with her, finding out her address and sending flowers and packages. Oh dear. The parents of the girl returned his uncomfortable gifts, but lust-disguised-as-love conquers all, and Stetar was unperturbed, sending hundreds of text messages to her phone. Oh dear oh dear oh dear.

After the girl's number was changed, Stetar then drove 40 hours to her family's neighborhood, sending more, increasingly disturbing, messages along the way (he uncovered her new number online, too -- real secure). He informed them he was on his way, and made sure to let the girl know that he was going to rape her and her sister. How romantic -- most men don't bother to give you a warning. 

Stetar was later found by cops at a nearby motel, and it was later confirmed that he'd already driven by the girl's house in a rented truck. He's also been sending messages to her cousin. Stetar has been released on bail and is charged with felony stalking.

Facepalms don't even begin to describe it, really.
