Woman Accused of Solicitation for Sex

(Oklahoma City, Oklahoma) A 42-year-old woman from Parkville, Missouri, Monica Watson, was arrested by the FBI on a complaint of traveling across state lines for the purpose of engaging or attempting to engage in illicit sex. Watson allegedly solicited sex from an undercover officer who posed as a 15-year-old boy.

According to the FBI, the boy's parents alerted the authorities after discovering that their then 14-year-old son was receiving inappropriate communications from an adult woman. A detective then assumed the identity of the boy and continued the communications with Watson.

I suspect that the boy had a MySpace account.
