Man Admits Trying to Hire Hit Man on Facebook
19 year-old Corey Christian Adams raped a girl in West Chester, Pennyslvania while she was blackout drunk. When she called him up and confronted him about it afterwards, he post a Facebook status update asking for help dealing with his victim: "I got 500 on a girls head who wants that bread? Hit me up anyway possible." After police confronted him about the allegations, he wrote another post saying that he "needed this girl knocked off right now."
Adams was convicted of rape and solicitation to commit murder, and will be sentenced to 11 to 22 years in prison under a plea deal. Looks like more people are seeking out hit men on Facebook now that Craigslist's shut down their "murder-for-hire" section. [Philadelphia Inquirer; CNET]
