OKLAHOMA CITY Miss America can add crime fighter to her resume.Lauren Nelson recently went undercover with police in New York for a sting targeting sexual predators.Officers with Suffolk County's computer crimes unit created an online profile of a 14-year-old girl that included photographs of Nelson as a teenager."I got to chat online with the predators and made phone calls, too," Nelson said by phone from Atlantic City, N.J. "The Suffolk County Police Department was there the whole time."The operation was filmed for a segment of "America's Most Wanted" that will air Saturday on FOX. Police spokesman Tim Motz said the operation was ongoing and declined to comment Tuesday evening.At least four men were arrested and face charges, said Avery Mann, a spokesman for the show. Another six men agreed to meet Nelson, of Lawton, Okla., he said.Nelson, 20, posed as a young teen online and went into chat rooms, where she said men would begin sending her instant messages asking her how old she was and where she lived.http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,268229,00.html
Now one would think that these men would've learned from other cases such as this, but I see they haven't. It's good to see Miss America working with the police to stop crimes such as this.
