Her husband had died many years ago, and she had just connected with a lovely man on the internet. The woman from Lombard, Illinois, told ABC 7 Eyewitness News that he said that he loved her and also sent her a massive bouquet, and the FBI said afterwards that they were shocked he did that.

Bombay High Court has overturned the conviction of Rahul Lahase, a Jalgaon man accused of raping a minor Class 12 student. The court's decision was based on the notion that it is unlikely for a «prudent» girl to accompany a stranger to a hotel room on their first meeting. Lahase had moved HC against his conviction and 10-year rigorous imprisonment sentence handed down by a sessions court in Amravati in November 2021. The High Court's single bench, led by Justice Govinda Sanap, questioned the credibility of the survivor's testimony and found her version of events implausible. According to the prosecution, Lahase met the minor girl on Facebook in March 2017, coerced her into a sexual relationship, and later blackmailed her by threatening to share explicit photos. The survivor also claimed that after she ended the relationship, Lahase shared the intimate photos with her family and fiancé.
