5 Charged In Alleged Online Sex Scam

(AP)  Police have charged three men and two women after receiving reports that several men were robbed when responding to online advertisements for sex or massage.

Greensboro police Detective K.R. Jones said five victims got directions to a location, then were robbed of cash and cell phones at vacant apartments in July. Jones said one victim had minor injuries.

Court documents reviewed by the Greensboro News & Record show the suspects were armed knives or guns.

Police have arrested 18-year-old Joshua Johnson, his sister 17-year-old Joshana Johnson; 18-year-old Shenault Hedrick and his sister, 20-year-old Janella Hedrick; and 17-year-old Nnandi Turner.

The suspects are charged with robbery with a dangerous weapon, conspiracy to commit a felony and common-law robbery.

Young criminals and high tech crime. One can''t help but wonder what methods the police used to catch these criminals. High tech or good old leg work?

Back in the old days they used to do the same thing by having a *** lead a john around a corner into an alley where a big thug would jump him, conk him on the head, take his wallet and leave him laying in a heap in the alley. The john was afraid to call the cops because he was afraid of publicity. What''s changed is that they use computers now, and the boomers don''t care about a good reputation.

CultureChang, it is only legal in counties that have a population below 400,000.
