Location: Adelaide, Australia/North Carolina, USA
Crime: Attempted abuduction
Details: A thirty-one yeꦿar old Austrailian woman tries to take a seventeen year old American boy. They met in World🔯 Of Warcraft. Oh dear.
You’re not helping WoW players fight the geeky social devia൩nt sterotype missy. Noܫt one little bit.
After forging an “intense” romantic relationship through the MMO with the boy wh𒉰en he was sixteen, Tamara Broome then flew over to the US with the intention of meeting him and taking him back to Australia to get married. Bizarrely, her plan failed. What are the chances?
According to Ms. Broome’s flatmate, the boy consented to travel to the other side of the worl🌳d to shack up with his significantly higher-levelled online paramour. She also✨ stated that she’d been told that the boy’s parents were paying for Broome’s flight to the US in order to “sort it all out”. Two problems though.
Firstly, being aged seventeen made the boy an under-age minor by North Carolina law, thus potentially swiping Ms. Broo𒉰me hard in the face with the paedo-stick if things had gone any further. Secondly, by “sort it all out”, it seems the boys parents may have meant “get you💙r ass soundly arrested”. She was met by three detectives near the boy’s house and found herself behind bars soon afterwards, claiming the whole thing was a set up.
Broome was later sent back to Australia after having her charge reduced to ‘contributing to the delinquency of a minor’. If she contacts the boy before his eighteenth birthday she 💦will be arre𒈔sted again. After that though, the raid can theoretically continue.
