Man stalks girls via Xbox

There has been a lot of talk of the openness of the Xbox Live service and this has finally come to light with the case of the twenty year old man who hooked up with young girl aged fifteen, through playing Halo online.

Through other sources the guy was able to find out the girls home address and it is here where it all began to go wrong, for he started sending the girl gifts of flowers and other presents, which alerted her parents who sent them back.

He also had the girl’s cell phone number and proceeded to send hundreds of sms messages. Finally he drove to the girl’s home forty hours on the road, but when he told her that is was coming, the girl’s parents called the police who arrested him.
