Ironically, he was old enough to have nookie with her in that state - it's just the abduction laws that apply to under 18 year olds.

that funny thing about this is that there are actually people out there that meet people from playing MMO's and actually end up dating and getting married or having kids..

I'd smack the kid around more than the woman. She's lonely and from what i can tell, fat.. i can't really blame her for grasping at anything, be it illegal or not. The kid is 17, is probably a loner in school and doesn't have alot of friends. That's just poor parenting letting your kid that involved in a game, and not encouraging more social activities.. maybe not even sports, maybe a TCG or a D&D group... something.

I'd rather have my kid rolling to see if his diplomacy check is high enough to go out with a half-orc than trying to get a girlfriend online to marry that's 14 years older than him.. AT LEAST MORE LOCAL.

The boy is sick tho. Why would he date a 31 year-old woman?.. Sick people in my opinion.

(WoW equipment could not be seized by authorities, as it is soulbound.) ^___^ .

people put too much of an importance on age. 17 to 31? eck!!! 34 to 48 eh, no big deal. it 14 year age differences happen all the time in marriages but when one person is under the age of about 24 or 25 it gets to be an issue.

The age difference isn't any big deal. What is messed up is this excessively Puritanical, stick up their butts laws in this deteriorating nation that is the u.s. We go and blow innocent people to bits in other nations but its somehow OMFG a big deal when a 31 yr old tries to 'elope' or whatever with a 17 yr old. Messed up, really messed up. Any prosecutors in this case should have their heads examined..post mortem preferably

Diimo is right, i dont see nothing wrong in both of them being together if they love eachother. It's just the laws that... sux...

Well we are mixing up stuff here; first of all, the fact that they are WoW players doesn't matter at all, the article might aswell be called Australian Girl kidnaps a kid, since it doesn't modify the case at all, it doesn't matter where they met.

Now onto the kidnapping and "ilegal relationship"; in most Europe it is not ilegal to have a relationship with an underaged kid, the problem is sexual relationships and those have to be proven on half europe (all continental law systems, not the anglosaxon ones) for the case to be even considered.

The kidnapping as far as I can tell is that the parents saw their kid banish from night to day and thought this woman had seduced him; it's a nasty thing to put charges up against her but the truth is in some legal systems if they prove the woman seduced him and that she knew it was bad for him (being a kid) she might get in a certain amount of trouble - never jail, with the positive and negative modifications applied to the case depending on the specific circumstances she will be released.

PD: sorry for the language, a spaniard speaking here, not really loose with legal english language yet :S
