"MySpace Mom Indicted by Federal Grand Jury" 'From the AP [via NPR at
http://www.npr.org/blogs/bryantpark/2008/05/myspace_mom_indicted_by_federa.html]:
"A Los Angeles federal grand jury has indicted a Missouri woman for her alleged role in a MySpace online hoax played on a 13-year-old girl who committed suicide.
"Lori Drew of suburban St. Louis was indicted today on one count of conspiracy and three counts of accessing protected computers without authorization to obtain information to inflict emotional distress."
Drew helped create a fake MySpace persona, that of the handsome Josh Evans, to woo a neighbor girl, Megan Meier. After a few weeks, "Josh" turned on Megan, telling her the world would be a better place without her. Megan hanged herself.'
About freakin' time.
