    • Forty-six-year-old James Hutchins was in custody Thursday on a $10,000 bond, pending an Aug. 2 court hearing.

    A jail officer said there was no record of Hutchins having a lawyer.

    The Chattanooga Times Free Press reports that Hutchins has a prior conviction on the same charge, dating back to 1999 when he was sentenced to six months in jail and placed on probation for five years.

    Records say lab tests show Hutchins' wife of almost five years has tested HIV positive. Friends told her Hutchins was HIV positive. The couple met online in 2005 and married about a year later.

    Image
    Summary: Shagbook is accusing Facebook of trademark bullying, says the term facebook is generic, and is even arguing that Facebooks trademark should never have been granted.

    Online romance scam dupes thousands - New Kerala

    London, Sep 28 : Hundreds of thousands of people in Britain may have been hit or duped by online romance scams, far more than previous estimates. The study undertaken by Monica Whitty and Tom Buchanan, psychologists at the Universities of Leicester and Westminster, is probably the first formal academic analysis of the pervasive scam. Criminals often set up fake identities on dating and social networking sites, using stolen photographs (of models or army officers) and pretend to develop a romantic relationship with their victim.
