LOCATION:      Stevensville, MD

VICTIM:            Female (12) of Stevensville

 

NARRATIVE:     The parents reported that their 12 year old daughter was receiving text messages from adult male and that the content of the messages were sexual. Further checking of the phone indicated that several of the male subjects had also called her. Investigation by the parents resulted in learning that the messages had been going on for several months and involved four different males. The girl had portrayed herself to be in the early 20’s and had given the subjects her first and middle name and other information which allowed them to get enough information to locate her. The parents have taken steps to disassociate their daughter from these subjects.
