(Victoria, Australia) A 36-year-old American woman, Barbara Renee Case, has been charged with engaging in sex with a 15-year-old boy she met on an Internet gaming website.
A married mother-of-three, Case told her husband that she was going on vacation then flew to Australia to be with the boy.
Today, Barbara Case pleaded guilty to sexual intercourse and oral sex with the boy between May 16 and May 27.
Mr Case said he encouraged his wife, who had struggled to cope after recent surgery, to spend time on the role-playing website.Although she pleaded guilty, Case will still be required to stand trial. Apparently, that's how things work in Australia.
He admitted the pair's three children, while "doing all right", were missing their mother.
Mr Case said his wife was struggling with jail.
"She's very, very upset. She's not dealt with prison before," he said.
"She's never had any troubles like this."
Interestingly, this is the third case in recent memory where an American woman has flown to Australia to engage in sex with an underage boy. It sure seems like an unnecessary expense when it's just as easy to commit a sex crime in the U.S. Think about it ladies. The money saved from airfare would be available to seduce more boys with goodies.

Case convicted and sentenced to no jail.
