A thirteen-year-old South Carolina girl began talking to a thirty-one-year old North Carolina man over My Space. After approximately one week of e-mail communications, the man told the girl he was going to come to South Carolina to get her. On August 30, he drove to South Carolina, picked up the teenager, and brought her to Virginia Beach. The girl's parents reported her missing in South Carolina. South Carolina authorities were able to identify the man as Shawn Engle, 31, of Gates Co., NC. On September 15, North Carolina authorities located the teenage girl at Engle's mother's home in North Carolina. South Carolina authorities obtained a warrant for Shawn Engle's arrest for the charge of Kidnapping. South Carolina authorities believed that Shawn Engle may be staying in the Virginia Beach area, and notified local authorities. On Friday, October 24, a Virginia Beach Community Services Officer in the Third Precinct observed a vehicle matching the description of Shawn Engle's vehicle in the driveway of a home in the 4800 block of Westgrove Rd., Virginia Beach. Shawn Engle was taken into custody at his acquaintance's home without incident. Shawn Engle was transported to the Virginia Beach Correctional Facility where he is being held for his South Carolina Kidnapping charge. Further investigation revealed that while the suspect and the victim were in Virginia Beach, the thirteen year-old-girl had consensual sex with the suspect on at least two occasions. On October 27, 2008 Virginia Beach detectives obtained two warrants for Abduction with Intent to Defile and Carnal Knowledge for Shawn Engle, and subsequently served the warrants while he was being held in detention. This case remains under investigation. Myspace old guys are weird O.O I just thought i would let you guys know about this kinda stuff, i found it interesting.
That is stupid what girl would go with a 31 year old dude to another state. She doesnt know him at all even if they were talking for awhile he could be lieing about everything. and why would she have sex with him. she must of been pretty desprite
Yes i know, that was on my local news so i wanted to show everyone on here. But people like that are disgusting.
You might, but not smart enough to spell smart. Lol jk. Yeah this stuff is pretty creepy, and far too common.
Reported for spam Vinny I agree that this stuff is happening way to often. That girl really is an idiot. 31 year old on my space? Seriously?
For what? My opinion is justified, and holds more weight than yours anyway. Serious to God. You're a huge tool. It goes like this: She had consensual sex with a 31 year old adult: It is safe to assume, because the article did not state that she willingly agreed to and was not under the effects of any drugs said "yes" to sex. She met him on myspace. Had no prior background on him, and still had consensual sex. My hypothesis stands: she's a ****. if anything, charge her for being on myspace under the age of 16. you're wrong. You lose. again. Matt: 0 Vinny: 2
You posted three words: shes a **** that seems really intelligent I'm sorry for reporting you, your reply was just so strikingly clever I will never report your asshole-ness again Wait, when did I lose the first time?
How about everyone stops fighting? Eh? That seems like a good idea =D I just wanted to let people know about this dont fight over it >.<
Yeah well you really would love that would'nt you? Anyways this has happened a lot, it's what the police call an "Online Predator" as people who give out too much info about them selves abd the men just go ok, hopefully this one won't tell me to F*ck off!! Lol But this can also happen over XBL too, I'm a member of Bebo.com and the site is updated like every 3 days and theres lots of Moderators on the site, the only way to view anyone's profile is to be signed in, if not, you won't be able to, you can also put your profile as private if you want (Only your friends can view it) and public. (Everyone can view it) Yeah you should be careful who you talk too, but BTW on Bebo, i your profiles public, wimmenz on web cams send you links to view them in chat rooms, be careful....
Well if she agreed to it i don't think there is much problem .. However she should of told her parents she was going because they thought she was missing .. This is why Myspace sucks >.<
its sounds like the girl was up for it all, ofcourse over 18 year old man having sex with a 13 year old girl is always considered rape sickos
