Teacher Lynn Walls jailed over sex texts to Warcraft boy
From timesonline.co.uk:
A primary school teacher who sent sexually explicit text messages to a 14-year-old boy whom she met through an interactive computer game was jailed for 12 months yesterday.
Lynn Walls, 42, first encountered the boy – who lived 240 miles away – while playing World of Warcraft
, the world’s most popular online game. In the role-playing game, which features humans and mythical creatures and has 11 million subscribers worldwide, Walls created a virtual self who was thin, attractive and blonde.
The overweight, divorced mother told police later that she had designed her virtual character to be “everything I am not”. The boy, from London, fell for the image. The pair had private discussions in an online chat room before Walls persuaded him to exchange mobile phone numbers.
