MySpace Contact Leads To Teachers Arrest

Suspect posed as son online:

North Carolina--A Middle School gym teacher is currently facing statutory rape and kidnapping charges after allegedly posing as his own 15-year-old son on sites like MySpace and Facebook in order to have sex with a young teenage girl, also 15.

And apparently that worked...on at least five different occasions.

Anyway, Ernest Nichols, 44, of Huntersville, reportedly had engaged in sexual activity with the unidentified girl from last November until this past spring.

Police say she was not a student of his.

Officers searched the home of Nichols and recovered various items including, a video camera, pictures and sex toys.

He had previously been employed at Ranson Middle School in Charlotte before his arrest this past week.
