Colorado Granny Charged With Sexually Assaulting Kids While Man Watched Over Internet
A Clifton, Colo., woman was jailed Wednesday on suspicion she had her grandchildren perform sexually explicit acts while a man she met on the Internet watched.
The 49-year-old woman was arrested Tuesday on charges including child abuse and sexual assault on a child. No bond had been set. The Associated Press was not naming the woman because it could provide information that would identify the victims.
Her arrest stemmed from an Immigrations and Customs Enforcement roundup linked to Matthew Hughes, 26, who was arrested in December on Internet child pornography charges in Canada.
Internet chat messages indicated Hughes and the grandmother communicated with each other. Investigators traced the woman through her screen name, according to an arrest affidavit.
The woman allegedly told investigators she had her granddaughters touch her at the request of a man who watched via a Web camera, the affidavidt said.
The woman, who is married, told Mesa County sheriff's investigators that she occasionally watches the children when their mother is away.
Investigators who visited her home this week said five children under the age of 15 were at the home, which had feces on the floor and moldy food in almost every room, according to the affidavit. Link

Internet addict went out like a champ
BEIJING (Reuters) - An obese 26-year-old man in northeastern China died after a "marathon" online gaming session over the Lunar New Year holiday, state media said on Wednesday.
The 150-kg (330-lb) man from Jinzhou, in Liaoning province, collapsed on Saturday, the last day of the holiday, after spending "almost all" of the seven-day break playing online games, the China Daily said, citing his parents.
Xu Yan, a local teacher, said the "dull life" during the holiday prompted many people to turn to computer games for entertainment.
"There are only two options. TV or computer. What else can I do in the holiday as all markets, KTV and cafeterias are shut down?" the paper quoted Xu as saying.
China has seen an alarming rise in the number of teenage and young adult Internet addicts in recent years, despite attempts to restrict minors from cybercafes and limit online game playing times.
About 2.6 million -- or 13 percent -- of China's 20 million Internet users under 18 are classed as addicts, state media have reported.

Funny Crime Stories From 2006
Also from Jacksonville, police answered a call from an Arlington man who reported he'd battered his wife and needed officers to come to their home. When police got there, the man's wife said he hadn't hit her and was trying "anything and everything" to get out of the house, including claiming he'd committed a crime so he could go see his girlfriend. The 35-year-old man finally told police, "I will say whatever it takes for you to arrest me and take me to jail. Just get me away from her."
When the cops catch you with cocaine, you need a rock solid defense. Chicago residents provide a couple pretty good examples. First there's the "we-were-out-of-coffee" defense. A 38-year-old man caught with cocaine in October said he worked two jobs and used the drugs to help him stay awake.
That's topped by the "my-kids-made-me-do-it" explanation a 25-year-old man offered after he was caught with cocaine in September. He told police he had gone back to using drugs because he was extremely upset after his 6-year-old was teased at school. He is officially banned from wearing "No. 1 Dad" hat.
