Fox 4’s Lari Barager Has an Odd Sense of Humor

An alert FrontBurnervian points us to this story from Fox 4. A 27-year-old man from Pennsylvania meets a 14-year-old Bedford girl in an online video game forum. He has his brother drive him to Texas so he can have sex with the girl. And he actually winds up spending the night in the girl’s room, where he’s caught sleeping by the mom, after the girl goes to school. The guy gets charged with sexual assault.

The kicker? Reporter Lari Barager sets up her story by saying, “It would be funny if the crime weren’t so serious.”

Um, Lari? Would you like a mulligan on that one?

  4. Uh, it WOULD be funny if it wasn’t so serious. (Take a look at the guy’s mugshot). I saw the report live and the comment didn’t even register with me.
