The Missouri woman, who allegedly played role in the death of a teen (Megan Meier) who killed herself over a failed Internet romance, which turned out to be a hoax was indicted by a Los Angeles federal grand jury Thursday. 49-year-old Lori Drew was indicted for using the social networking Web site MySpace.com to pose as a 16-year-old boy and feign romantic interest in the girl.

According to prosecutors – In September 2006, 13-year-old Megan Meier of Dardenne Prairie, MO began communicating online on the MySpace social network with "Josh Evans," who she thought was a good-looking boy living in her area. Megan received a message from Josh, saying he didn't want to be her friend anymore on Oct. 15, 2006. And, Oct. 16, 2006, Megan received cruel message through MySpace, in which "Josh" told her that the world would be a better place without her. Megan ran upstairs, and about 20 minutes later, Megan's mother found that her daughter had hanged herself in her closet. Oct. 17, 2006, Megan died at a hospital, a few weeks before her 14th birthday.

Later, it was found that Josh was the creation of Lori Drew, her teenage employee Ashley Grills, and Drew's teenage daughter, a former friend of Megan. Los Angeles jury charged Drew with one count of conspiracy and three counts of accessing protected computers without authorization. Drew now faces up to 20 years in prison on charges of conspiracy and accessing protected computers to obtain information to inflict emotional distress.
