Miss America helps nab online predators

NEW YORK April 25 (UPI) -- Four New York-area men are in custody after Miss America, Lauren Nelson, helped police by posing as a young teenager in an online chat room.

Working with Suffolk County Police on Long Island, Nelson invited the men individually to show up at a house for a meeting. When they arrived, police were waiting for them along with John Walsh, host of "America's Most Wanted" TV show.

The special episode featuring the Internet sting will air Saturday night.

Nelson provided photos of herself when she was 14 to police to post online, and all of her exchanges with the men were monitored by officers, Newsday reported.

When the Oklahoma native was crowned Miss America in Las Vegas in January, she said one of her goals was to promote Internet safety for children.

damn, that's pretty cool..good for her:thumbsup

wait so she posed nude when she was 14 as undercover work?

where is the dateline guy?
someone post that pic

You would most likely shit your pants if you saw the whole story about how they keep contacting the guys even after they have said no, because she is under age. SOme of them, they just keep at, until the guys agrees.

Well done, congrats to her for doing something usefull in raising awreness of this

one day...they will do that...and blang blang...end of show

anyone who likes child porn is mentally fucked up

Go Lauren Nelson!

Well, I was out in the real world all day so I am lagging behind in virtual time..the 'news' story was only 1 hour old on the wires when I posted it. So -*shrug*

I'm all for keeping kids safe, don't get me wrong, but are these shows really working? Do they do the job of detouring men from trying to hook-up with kids online? If so, then its good, if not, then it's all about TV ratings.

hahhahhahhaha.................

Pretty stupid move for the media to divuldge that info..

They're dealing sith sicko's, so what makes them think some sicko won't go after her now that they know she is involved...

The news media is the best friend of criminals and the enemy..

Well, she was doing as a thing for a tv show so I kind of think she brought it to the media rather than them chasing her.

Mmmm.. was wondering what the motivation for this was.... Is enticing pedos the new role of beauty queens now? :)

Looks like that Walsh guy on the publicity trail trying to raise "awareness"..

Well, does being a beauty queen exclude you from playing other roles in society?
