From the Maryland State Police and the Harford County Child Advocacy Center:
(Joppa, Md.) On Wednesday, March 28, 2012, the Harford County Child Advocacy Center was contacted by the Highlands County, Florida Sheriff’s Office for assistance in the investigation of an adult female who was sexually involved with a Florida minor.
A cooperative investigation revealed that the juvenile male, 16 years of age (name withheld) disclosed that he was involved in a sexual relationship with Lisa Elaine Carroll, a 39 year old female residing in the 500 block of Renee Drive, Joppa, Maryland. The juvenile met Carroll while playing an online video game “War 2 Glory.” Carroll and the juvenile male began communicating in late 2011, and their relationship continued via Skype; a service that allows users to communicate with peers by voice, video, and instant messaging over the internet.
Carroll was interviewed by members of the Harford County Child Advocacy Center which consisted of investigators from the Maryland State Police and Harford County Sheriff’s Office. During that interview Carroll admitted to the sexual relationship with the victim.
Continued investigation revealed that Carroll drove to Florida on two separate occasions, staying at area hotels during her consensual encounters with the victim. The first trip occurred in early 2012, and the second trip occurred in March 2012. Carroll and the victim became engaged to be married in December 2011.
As a result of intensive investigative efforts by members of the Harford County Child Advocacy Center, an arrest warrant was issued by authorities in Florida. The warrant contained nine counts of Unlawful Sexual Activity with a Minor and one count of Traveling to Meet a Minor.
On April 5, 2012, Lisa Carroll was taken into custody at her residence in Joppa, Maryland. She is currently being held at the Harford County Inter-Agency Processing Center where she is awaiting an extradition hearing.
Any inquiries to this case should be made to the Harford County Child Advocacy Center Investigators at 410-638-4975.
***While 16 is the age of consent in Maryland, it is unlawful for a 16-year-old in Florida to engage in a sexual relationship with anyone over the age 23.
good work CAC. She deserves to be in jail!
Normally I would agree with you, but this woman needs help….mental help. I lived with her & the hubby for over a year & I think I can say I know her well….she needs psychiatric help more than she needs punishment.
I am NOT saying she should not be punished for what she did, she should be and will be, but she needs mental help more.
You are absolutely right that she needs psychiatric help. And she can get all that help she needs in a state facility. Just saying…
What the heck was she thinking! Did she not know Hazzard County would come and get her. Barney Fife was on duty! Wonder if she worked at a Waffle House and bought supplies from Home Depot
other than the fact that she has issues to be dealt with, I know her personally, and she is just one bad apple…
She always said how she wanted to do something to be forever remembered, well I DO believe she got her wish.
The sad part about all this is, there are 2 men that cared deeply for her & she shafted both of us. 🙁
While I have many questions… I’ll ask only one: Where were this lad’s parents?
WBAL provided a pic, apparently of the accused…at first I thought it was the victim. http://www.wbaltv.com/2012/0411/30870973_640X480.jpg
She looks like a swimsuit model. I think she was married and engaged. She truly is a hotie! NOT…. She gets an all paid expense trip to Florida…I’m so jealous. Free bracelets and Leg irons…..gonna get a bigger waist chain.
I feel sorry for her…I can tell she has not been sleeping well. 🙁
I just wish she had not messed up her life so bad…as crazy as this sounds, I’m gonna miss her.
she hasn’t been sleeping well because she is making new friends at the harford hilton. Guess she will make new friends in Florida….Maybe she can work on her people skills with some lifers and other sex offenders!
What are you going to miss the most?
Had she done the very same thing in the great state of Maryland, all would be well. 16 is the legal age of consent in our fine state!! Sex Offender in Florida, and just a Cougar in Maryland. Had she been just 22 years old in Florida, I guess all would be well, as it is in Maryland.
For christ sakes Didnt know she was doing This kinda **** 39 year old woman meets kid on W2G and goes to skype talks and meets in real and has sex wtf is wrong with ths world??????
It’s OK here in Maryland, but not OK in Florida. Do you think we are a progressive state here in Maryland? Do we have it right and Florida have it wrong?
