PlayStation Sex Crime: Criminal Used Video Game to Get Girl's Naked Pictures

ABC News wrote: "Prosecutors in Houston say they have tracked down and arrested a man who allegedly committed an online sex crime -- though technically he didn't even have a computer.

All he needed, the prosecutors say, was a game console -- a Sony PlayStation 3."

Disgusting, lets see how the media runs with this.

"Playstation man Rapes girls through Playstation 3"

"PlayStation Pervert"

Keep it simple

Lord Anubis5514d ago

as if the media keeps things simple

Godmars2905514d ago

They do. That's the problem.

gambare5514d ago

mm.... I also have pics of my girl on my PS3, she's 25 but that makes me evil too?

Elven65514d ago

Gambare: Pic's or it didn't happen!

Jokes aside, I think the reason for concern is the fact that she was underage and her parents allowed such things to happen. Surely something should have raised a flag.

Buttons5514d ago

Let's all conveniently forget about all the times this has happened through MySpace and blame it on video games (again).

Johnny Rotten5514d ago (Edited 5514d ago )

no kidding, last month My Space removed around 90,000 sex offenders from their site.

Here's a quick google search:

"Man rapes girl with PlayStation 3"

That will be next, here we good the Media is like a water park with lots of slides.

Real Gambler5514d ago

On one side: Cell phones (most with camera!), Ipods, Kitchen appliances (LG fridges), netbooks, soon everything will be connected to the internet...

On the other side, an 11 year old girl stripping in front of a pure stranger... (and managed to take a picture of herself, and send it with a game console... Not bad, since it's not so easy!)

Somehow, the parents where definitively not watching her surfing habit much for sure. Internet is here to stay, and will be available for more and more appliances in a house. Only thing to do now is set filters and WATCH your kids. Not so sure those parents were.... Didn't take 2 minutes for the whole ordeal to happen!

After all the times ps fanboys have attacked xbl when this happens lets see them now prove they arent hypocrites and attack £ony and psn.

Oh wait...

The parents should also be questioned.

gambare5514d ago

I think pixel hit the nail on the head, usually in this cases the parents are involved too, but that could be part of the police investigation.

Cajun Chicken5514d ago

But what is there to stop this type of thing, unfortunatly, there isn't really anything to do.
Fact is that people below my age have been pretty much absorbed with the internet at a very early age and don't worry about personal details. I mean, look at the things that people post on Myspace and Facebook and adding random people who 'seem nice' as friends. The majority of parents don't seem to care, leave the kids entertained with a PC/Console and don't realise that the internet is NOT a safe place.
No doubt as with every tale of pedos on consoles, the media is going to enjoy spinning this one.

AuToFiRE5514d ago

Whats sad is this happens almost everyday, its happened several times so far on the xbox, but this is the first time on a PS3 i have ever heard of

PotNoodle5514d ago

The power of the cell.

EDIT: :| Just read, an 11 year old girl? Not funny..

SiLeNt KNighT5514d ago

nah, ill give it ya. that was pretty funny. im with 'whateva', why does this 11yo girl have naked photos in the first place? i guess we should look at the bright side, she didnt have the eyetoy! Not to make a joke of this but people are just getting ridiculous these days. Children don't get dumber and I sure as hell know I would never do something like that at that age. Horrible parents imo. We should see if the Power of Cell can implant good parenting skills to stupid people.

Tales Of Graces Ƒ Retro Review – Holding Out For a Hero

Gary Green said: Namco Bandai heard the call of many fans asking for the PlayStation release of Tales of Graces which was originally released seemingly exclusively for the Wii back in 2009. If you’re acquainted with the Tales series then Graces f won’t be something entirely new to you, yet if you’re a newcomer then you’ll find a plethora of gameplay mechanics and nuances that distinguish this series from other JRPGs. While the game finds itself following the traditional archetype of JRPGs, such as a somewhat clichéd story, Graces has something to offer to both veterans and newcomers alike.

It's A Crime That There's No Sleeping Dogs 2 Yet

Huzaifah from eXputer: "Sleeping Dogs from the early 2010s is one of the best open-world games out there but in dire need of a resurgence."

LG_Fox_Brazil3d ago

I agree, I consider the first one a cult classic already

isarai2d ago

You say "yet" as if it's even possible anymore. United Front Games is gone, along with anyone that made this game what it is

CrimsonWing692d ago

That’s what happens when games sell poorly. And I’ve seen people wonder why people cry when a game sells badly… this is your answer.

solideagle2d ago

Majority of the time it's true but if a company/publisher is big (in terms of money), they can take a hit or 2. e.g. I am not worried about Rebirth sales as Square will make Remake 3 anyway but if FF 17 doesn't sell then Square might need to look for alternative. <-- my humble opinion

Abnor_Mal2d ago

Doesn’t Microsoft own the IP now since they acquired Activision?

DaReapa2d ago

No. Square Enix owns the IP.

Abnor_Mal1d 23h ago

Oh okay, Activision owned True Crime, but when that didn’t sell as intended it was canceled. Six months later Square Enix bought the rights and changed the title to Sleeping Dogs.*

*As per Wikipedia

boing12d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Sleeping Dogs was a sleeper hit back then. It was fantastic. It actually still is. Would love a sequel to this, or at least a revive of True Crime series.
