"Boy Lover" met over 100 boys through XBox Live website

AATG covers the case of Jose Garcia, arrested along with three others who form a group called the "Boy Lovers". Garcia confessed to a cooperating witness for the FBI that he had met over 100 boys through the Xbox Live website (presumably meaning Xbox Live itself).

Also covered: the case of an Missouri man who this week confessed to a sexual encounter with a 14-year-old who he met through Xbox Live, and the case of a Wisconsin teen who is receiving "sexts" from a Indiana man who he met over Xbox Live.

soon real life boys can be safe once MILO hits.

The_Darkest_Red5330d ago

HAHA so true man, have yourself a bubble.

Really though, it's creepy to think that people like this are playing games online with us, and even exist in the first place. Some crazy psychological things would have to happen to create a person like this, that's all I can think of.

At least they busted him I guess. Lets hope no pedo-modders get a chance to do crazy things with Milo...

gamesR4fun5330d ago (Edited 5330d ago )

unless u want them to end up a victim to one of these kinds of predictors...

that boy lover group is really sic watching child porn together and filming each other wth is with a maxmum 20 year sentence? people get jailed for longer for jus selling pot in the usa. No wonder the countries so messed up.

where XBox Live shines over PSN. This alone justifies the $50/yr fee.

@Sarcasm

LMAO. They are probably proposing trophies at home for each of... nevermind...

Sarcasm5330d ago

I have a strange feeling a few of them might be roaming around in Home lol

darthv725330d ago

home scares me more than live does. Maybe its because it is a virtual wonderland filled with visual representations of those who would be bad people disguised as good gamers. The walking around and dancing and bubbles over peoples heads that let you read what they are saying...scary sometimes.

At least live you only meet people when playing games. There is no social pickup joints to walk around in.

SupaPlaya5330d ago

he really tries hard to hide that doesn't he?

G3TDOWN5330d ago

if someone tries to do some weird sh** with my kids, I'll murder the crap out of them

ABizzel15330d ago

Only on XBL. Sorry couldn't resist.

TotalPS3Fanboy5330d ago

"no offense but home scares me more than live does."

Home is actually much safe than this. Home has invisible mods walking around that will ban people for pulling off sh*t like this.

evrfighter5330d ago

I've been on home once. You'd have to have somethin wrong with you to stay there all day. My wife tried it ONCE. I had to delete like 20 friend requests from pimply faced horny geeks.

Syronicus5330d ago (Edited 5330d ago )

It's just that there are more of them on Live thus more news reported on them. Well, that is if you take into account that nearly all of the news about online sexual predators from N4G are about Live users. Sad really.

Also, the fact that the age group for Live is much younger than the PSN, there are greater chances for predators to find their victims on Live.

djfullshred5330d ago

PSN Home is just wierd & creepy, even without talking to anyone imo. All those avatars walking around...get me the heck out here!

cyberwaffles5330d ago

only possible on the Xbox 360.

gaffyh5330d ago

FINALLY The Mart got caught. :D

The gaming GOD5330d ago (Edited 5330d ago )

that's all I'm saying

And wtf, they even called themselves "boy lovers"? LMAO

But in all seriousness, ppl need to be more aware of what their children do online. We often like to place blame on the governments or game companies. And yeah, some of it IS them. But at the same time PARENTS need to be aware of what goes on in THEIR own houses. Old saying "it takes a whole village to raise one child"

rogimusprime5330d ago

You've never heard of NAMBLA? That might make you a normal human being. I had never heard of them either until I saw them featured on an episode of south park. Check it out, its the one where they kill off Chef.

Natsu X FairyTail5330d ago (Edited 5330d ago )

I can't Wait to ever Cross a Pedophile in Streets . Finna beat the Pedophile out of them.

Seriously I think pedophiles should get a HUGE beating and stuff so they never restart what they do. They'll to get pleased with Pictures online.

TheBand1t5330d ago (Edited 5330d ago )

Beatings won't help. They'd probably get off on it.

Besides, Prison inmates don't look too kindly on those who sexually abuse children.

SupaPlaya5330d ago (Edited 5330d ago )

not a beating. Beating really won't help them. It doesn't stop their urge.

Most of the time they are too afraid to seek help, well probably afraid coz you will beat them up once you find out their are interested in boys/kids.

beans5330d ago

Yeah but there's really know help for these people which is sad. I remember working with cps and finding that there were more women that molested little boys then men.

gamesR4fun5330d ago (Edited 5330d ago )

but it make me feel a bit better

So that's what is wrong with all the bots on here. That would explain their insecurity over PS3 and their love of the upcoming Milo game.

Pacific Rim Pinball comes to Pinball FX

This could be fun as they make great tables. Go big or go extinct. Prime your senses for a neural handshake and step into the cockpit of a Jaeger. It is on you to cancel the apocalypse when Pacific Rim Pinball comes to Pinball FX on May 16.

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

ChasterMies2d ago

Some of these low paid video game “news” writers weren’t born before 2007.

just_looken1d 23h ago

Here here

Those that were around before 2000's i am sure are like me that think we entered a world of non readers or those that follow without question.

I can not wait to see fallout 3 a goty game even though it was about water with non content until you add the dlc/updates then you got the performance/crashing

CrimsonWing692d ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker2d ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing692d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

Gameseeker_Frampt2d ago

Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.

2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.

just_looken1d 23h ago

It still amazes me we got over 7 rockstar games ps2/ps3 but 3 for the ps3/ps4/ps5

Dragon age 1-3 and mass effect 1-3 in 7ish years what a generation.

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos2d ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Tacoboto2d ago

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

banger882d ago

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).

ChasterMies2d ago

Trevor in GTA 6 is a sadist and psychopath who dabbles in cannibalism. Should be top of the list. These game “news” sites should hire people that know games.
