Connecticut Rules Against Internet Sex Predator
A Reuters newswire article by Belinda Yu, via Yahoo! News, reports that:
Connecticut's highest court has ruled that sexual assault against minors is a crime even when it involves made-up victims, after a detective posed as a 13-year-old girl on the Internet in a police sting operation.
The ruling by the state Supreme Court followed an appeal in March 2005 by defendant John Sorabella, who was found guilty on two counts of attempted second-degree sexual assault against someone he believed to be a 13-year-old girl.
The ruling, released on Wednesday, brings the state up to national standards in protecting minors from online sexual predators, said Scott Berkowitz, president of the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network, America's largest anti-sexual assault organization.
