(Danbury-WTNH/AP, Mar. 21, 2002)
Danbury police are getting ready to charge a Greenwich
man in the death of a sixth grader from Danbury.
Authorities say Christina Long and Saul Dos Reis met on
the Internet and he killed her during sex.
Long's father says he would "give anything to take that
computer back." He tells the News-Times of Danbury that
there was "no hint" of what she was doing with the
computer.

(Massachusetts, Aug. 14 2002)
A 15-year-old Massachusetts girl was kidnapped, held
captive, tortured and raped by a New York couple she met
in an Internet chat room, police say.
James Warren, 41, and Beth Loschin, 46, held the girl for
a week in their Long Island, N.Y. home, where they
repeatedly assaulted her sexually and beat her, police
said. "During the assault, the victim was physically
injured and subjected to humiliating and dehumanizing
acts.
Police say Warren and Loschin convinced the high school
sophomore to meet them Aug. 3 at the Wrentham, Mass.,
outlet mall where she worked. The girl had told them in
an online chat room that she wanted to run away from
home, and they offered to help. But it didn't take long
for her to realize she had made a mistake.
"After about an hour, she knew she was in over her head,"
police said. "The teen was handcuffed and bound with rope
much of the time." She also told investigators the
suspects kept her blindfolded and locked in a closet.
