Confirmed: 13-year-old gamer, hookers story bogus A money.co.uk story claiming that a 13-year-old boy was arrested after stealing his father’s credit card and going on a $30,000 spending spree, culminating in playing Halo with two hookers in a Texas motel, has been confirmed as bogus. “Police said they were alerted to the motel by a concerned delivery clerk, whom after delivering supplies of Dr. Pepper, Fritos and Oreos had been asked by the kids where they could score some chicks and were willing to pay. They explained they had just made a big score at a World of Warcraft tournament and wanted to get some relaxation,” the article read. “It is a hoax. No arrest has been made. There is no boy by that name (Ralph Hardy) enrolled in the school system,” Chris Cromer of Newark told GameRush Entertainment. The story continued, “The $1,000 a night girls sensing something up played Halo on the Xbox with the kids, instead of selling their sexual services.” “Ralph’s ambition is to one day become a politician,” the article concluded. The dubious content of the story coming from a source that doesn’t cover news wasn’t enough to prevent some sites from picking up on the report, including NEWS.com.au, TV3, G4 TV, and GameSpot. “Newark doesn’t have hookers, or a motel. We don’t know how the story got started,” Cromer said. Money.co.uk has yet to respond for comment. Read the full article Posted 18:26
