If someone is making up stories it is the Angeles County Sheriff's Department. If they are untrue (doubtful in this case) it is indeed news.Why would I want visit a BB where people with such little understanding of personal rights to privacy, and reporting responsibilities would congregate?
...Oh wait a minute...

I have to agree with you! This had to be horrifying for her. Tell your daughters that w omen's liberation includes the good choice of not going with some man you meet at a party. Once you get in someones car if they have evil intent, you are done!
