The Internet is a place where we can find help for our homework or jobs, socialize with friends, and a place where we do not know who is on the other side. Fifty-five year old, Carlton Earl Griner was arrested due to many accusations from the felonies he did from his past and the present. However, the main reason for his arrest, was because of what he did on Craigslist: advertise for sex. He later on continued to socialize with a thirteen year old girl, sending sexual emails to her. On January nine, he planned to meet the girl at the shopping center. After he made it to the shopping center, he was arrested by the Huntington Beach police department, who was pretending to be the thirteen year old girl. His previous felonies include attempting to have sexual contact with underage girls. If he is found guilty, he will be registered as a sex offender for the remaining of his life with five years of prison. For now, he is held in jail with the bail of $100,000. The Internet can be a scary place when not paying attention to safety. You can socialize with almost anyone from around the world, and that can either have a great or terrible ending. Therefore, it is important to be careful all the time when using the Internet because anything of yours can go viral and anything can happen.
