Teens proposition prostitutes for Halo marathon A 13-year-old boy from Texas who used cash from a stolen credit card to hire two prostitutes to play Halo with him has been found guilty of fraud. Ralph Hardy was given a three-year community order after he ordered an extra credit card on his Dad\'s account, then took his mates on a $30,000 shopping spree and played Halo with two prostitutes in a motel, reports News.com.au.
The kids checked in to the Texas motel, and then promptly ordered deliveries of Dr Pepper, Fritos, and Oreo cookies. They then asked the delivery clerk if they knew where they could \"score some chicks,\" adding that they were willing to pay for the privilege.
They explained away the fact that they had pots of money by telling the clerk that they had won big in a World of Warcraft tournament, and that they \"wanted to relax.\"
The boys told the girls that they weren\'t underage, they were \"people of restricted growth working with a traveling circus,\" and that to discriminate against them on the basis of their disability would be breaking state law. However, in the end, the kids decided to play Halo on Xboxes with the girls, who reportedly told police they thought something was up when their clients just wanted to play games.
The delivery clerk called the police, who arrived at the scene to find $3,000 in cash, the two women, electronic gadgets including the console, and oodles of soft drinks and munchies. The prostitutes were released without charge.
