Police in four states, Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, and Texas, say they're the victims of what amounts to a cybersex sting in reverse.
The chain of events - which included one North
Carolina deputy sending the seventeen year old girl a photograph of
his genitals - led an attorney for one of the officers
to decry what he suggests was a setup.
"This young woman has gone around the country,
as best we can determine, and made contact with
a very vulnerable element of our society - police
officers - and then drawn them in and alleged
some type of sexual misconduct," said Troy
Spencer, the attorney for one suspended Virginia
officer. "She's a cyberspider."
