A 43-year-old mother of three is currently wanted by the police in Oklahoma City for seducing a 14-year-old kid on PlayStation Home. Her avatar must’ve been really something.
Apparently, Annamay Alexander of Deltona, FL met this kid via Home and started sending him messages and a picture of her in her underwear. She then travelled to Oklahoma to see him and met with his mum, claiming to be there to talk about the kid wanting to marry her daughter. OK then!
Even after being told off by the kid’s mum, she continued to send downright-unsettling texts like “My body is yours to do whatever you want with,” and “I love you and we are going to get married.”
So yeah, be careful out there in those virtual worlds, kids. It’s probably best to stick with Xbox Live, where the 14-year-old boys are so fucking obnoxious no one would ever in their right mind try to seduce them. [KOCO via Kotaku]

That’s right isn’t it?
