Canada: Woman who flew from US to meet teen arrested
Story here. Excerpt:
'Texas authorities have arrested a Houston woman for allegedly luring a 16-year-old Barrie, Ont., boy from his home, after meeting him through an online video game.
Investigators believe Lauri Ann Price, a 42-year-old mother of four, struck up a relationship with the Ontario teenager about two years ago while playing the popular computer game World of Warcraft.
Donna Hawkins, a spokesperson for the Harris County District Attorney's Office, told CTV.ca that the two allegedly "engaged in a cybersexual relationship" for more than a year.
It is alleged that Price flew to Toronto last month, rented a car and drove to Barrie to pick up the teenager. Police said the boy left a note for his mother saying he was running away with Price.
The teenager was later found in Orillia, Ont., and was returned to his parents.'
