A woman has been arrested after police say she posed as a 14-year-old girl online in order to deceive young boys.
Investigators explained that she set up fake social media accounts with altered photos and false details, convincing others that she was much younger than her real age. Authorities discovered the scheme after parents noticed unusual online activity and alerted law enforcement.
Several minors were identified as victims of her deception, though officials stressed that their safety is being prioritized and support services are being provided.
The woman now faces multiple charges connected to online fraud and child protection violations.
Police have urged families to stay alert to suspicious online interactions and encouraged parents to talk openly with their children about internet safety.
