LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- A federal grand jury indicted a Missouri woman
Thursday for her alleged role in perpetrating a hoax on the online social
network MySpace against a 13-year-old neighbor who committed suicide.
Megan Meier, 13, hanged herself in her bedroom after being targeted in a MySpace
hoax.
Lori Drew of suburban St. Louis is said to have helped create a false-identity
MySpace account to contact Megan Meier, who thought she was chatting with a
16-year-old boy named Josh Evans. Josh didn't exist.
Megan hanged herself at home in October 2006 after receiving cruel messages,
including one stating the world would be better off without her.
Salvador Hernandez, assistant agent in charge of the Los Angeles FBI office,
called the case heart-rending.
"The Internet is a world unto itself. People must know how far they can go
before they must stop. They exploited a young girl's weaknesses," Hernandez
said. "Whether the defendant could have foreseen the results, she's responsible
for her actions."
Drew was charged with one count of conspiracy and three counts of accessing
protected computers without authorization to get information used to inflict
emotional distress on the girl.

Hi all,
Atlast one genuine site for home based jobs. I wonder how we missed it
all these years. You can find most of the online projects in the below
path. They have jobs in Data entry, Proof reading, Copy writing,
Article writing and whole lot of web developing jobs for programmers.
All you have to do is click on the below link, you will find a list of
jobs, click on any job, it will take you to job site, register with
your details (remember it is free and very fast) then starts the real
competition. You can start bidding for the projects as mentioned by
the job providers, then finish the work and collect payments. You can
earn in dollars and if you earn a good name and reputation with the
job providers, you simply become RICH.
Best of luck, have a happy bidding.
