A Massachusetts is behind bars on federal charges alleging she posed as a teenage boy to sexually prey on a West Virginia girl.
According to court documents Carissa Hads, 24, is considered a flight risk and a danger to the community.
Hads allegedly began a relationship over the Internet with the girl while pretending to be a 17-year-old boy named Puryear Wilson. Prosecutors say Hads sexually abused the 15-year-old in December 2011 at a Pennsylvania motel and in February at the teen's Lewis County residence.
State Police investigating the case say Hads' disguise included a back brace to hide her chest.
