G-otcha™: Massachusetts Woman Pleads Not Guilty in Linn, WV Sex Case

The Massachusetts woman accused of posing as a boy and crossing state lines to prey on a Linn, West Virginia girl has pleaded not guilty.

Twenty-five-year-old Carissa Hads of Quincy, Massachusetts was indicted last week on one count of traveling in interstate commerce to engage in illegal sexual conduct.

She entered a plea Thursday, June 28, 2012 before U.S. Magistrate John Kaull, who ordered her held until trial.

Jury selection is set for Monday, September 24, 2012 before U.S. District Judge Irene Keeley in Clarksburg, WV.

Investigators say Hads pretended to be a 17-year-old boy and began an online relationship with the victim in 2010.

She visited the teen at least three times and had a sexual encounter with her in February.

Investigators say her disguise included a back brace to cover her chest.

This story just really blows my mind. First of all, I am glad she was caught and my heart goes out to the victim. I don’t understand where the parents were in all this. Number one..You don’t let your child meet with someone they met over the internet. That should be a lesson in itself. I do know this victim was warned that this was a girl, not a boy, but continued to see her; that is when the parent should have stepped up their investigation and question their decision to let their daughter see this “boy.“ Their was a lot of warning signs that this “boy” wasn’t who she said she was and they didn’t once have second thoughts? There is a lesson to be learned here by all..DON’T LET YOUR CHILD “DATE” ANYONE THAT THEY MET ON THE INTERNET!! WAKE UP PARENTS!!
