THE distraught husband of a woman who flew to Australia to have sex with a 15-year-old Bendigo boy she met online says he still loves her.
But he doesn't know if she will be banned from seeing their three children.
Speaking from his rundown trailer park home in Lyndhurst, Virginia, Phillip Case said his wife, Barbara Renee Case, would be unable to return to the "dump" of a home they shared.
"She can't live here. The park rules are pretty strict," Mr Case, 38, told the Herald Sun as he fought back tears.
His wife was on her way back home to the US yesterday from Australia.
Case, 36, pleaded guilty this week in the Bendigo County Court to two counts of sexual penetration of a child under 16 and placed on the sex offenders register for life.
She was sentenced to 16 months' jail, all of it suspended. She had served 112 days on remand, separated from other inmates.Asked if the sex offenders register could prevent Case from seeing her three children, Mr Case said: "We don't know. I don't know yet if the FBI is going to do anything."
The court heard Case could face charges in the US.
An FBI spokeswoman said she could not comment on individual cases.
Mr Case said the incident had left him devastated.
"It's been pretty rough. I'm taking it one day at a time."
He said he last spoke to his wife before she left Australia: "I told her I loved her."
Asked if she said the same to him, Mr Case said: "Yeah."
Asked if he could forgive her, he said: "I've already forgiven her, but there's a difference between forgiveness and (long pause) . . . I don't know." He said he was unsure if they could rebuild their 11-year marriage.
"I don't know, that's going to take a lot of work. I just don't know yet. We don't know anything yet."
Mr Case described their rundown tiny brown weatherboard box home as a "dump" and said they would not stay in the trailer park but planned to move to away from Lyndhurst because of the case.
Mr Case said his wife told him she was going to Australia to visit a friend, and he was unaware of what she had been planning.
The court heard Case met the boy through an online game called Runescape on Christmas Day last year and flew to Australia in May.Shadowcat on 5/10/2008 at 04:12
Based on that title, I presume that you're in training for the tabloid press? The game was utterly irrelevant. Suggest moving this to CommChat?
In summary:
(Under-age) boy meets girl on the internet.
Gasp.

Shouldn't that be, "sexual penetration by a child under 16"?

Sure, if you're into that sort of thing.

Apparently those Bendigo boys is freaky.

That article is missing the answer to the most important question - is the wife hot?
If yes, then that's one lucky sombitch (not the husband) :cool:

Are you sure this isn't just a marketing stunt just to get kids to sign up and play Runescape under the implication of some kind of sexual encounter? *
* I'm very tempted to append "of the third kind" there.

The ability of MMORPGs to withstand test of time never ceases to amaze me. That game is seven years old.

But it´s free, you don´t need to download it and it doesn´t need big pc specs to run it.
That´s why it survives even if the quality is bad.

I didn't know it was free. Hell, take RO then, it's technically just as old and not free. People still play it.
