Woman who hoaxed suicidal teen found guilty of three misdemeanors

Lori Drew (right), the 49-year-old Missouri mom who posed as a 16-year-old boy on MySpace, has been convicted of three misdemeanors, but no felonies, in the death of 13-year-old Megan Meier — a former "best friend" of Drew's own daughter Sarah — who committed suicide after being rejected by the fake boy. In short, the only charges prosecutors could bring involved off-topic acts such as "accessing a computer without authorization." Drew's real crime — cruelly manipulating a vulnerable child for four weeks — isn't proscribed by law. (Photo by AP/Nick Ut)
