Pedophile lured boys with WoW gold
A 28-year-old Dane has been charged with luring 25 young boys into sending nude pictures of themselves to him by promising them World of Warcraft ‘gold’
“The man is being prosecuted in Copenhagen City Court for ‘grooming’, where he allegedly used the online computer game ‘World of Warcraft’ to get the 12-16 year-old boys to transmit pictures or film clips to him”, says the Copenhagen Post.
The man had a “significant amount of ‘gold’ in the game, which can be used to upgrade a player’s strength or abilities,” says the story, adding:
“Prosecutors say the man had around 10,000 illegal pictures and 1200 videos of naked underage boys on his computer at the time of the arrest. It is not yet known how many of the subjects are Danish.
“The man chatted with the boys on the World of Warcraft website and also via MSN Messenger, where more private exchanges could take place.”
A court decision is expected by Friday, the story adds.
