St. Louis Mom Indicted In MYSPACE Hoax That Led To Teen Suicide

Source: CNN

LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) — A Missouri mother was indicted Thursday in the case of a teen who killed herself after being taunted on the social networking site MySpace.com.

A federal indictment accuses Lori Drew, 49, of O’Fallon, Missouri, of using a MySpace account to pose as a 16-year-old boy and feign romantic interest in the girl.

The girl, Megan Meier, committed suicide after her online love interest spurned her, according to prosecutors, telling her the world would be a better place without her.

Drew faces up to 20 years in prison on charges of conspiracy and accessing protected computers to obtain information to inflict emotional distress.
