Luz Diaz was aired on the September 20th, 2008 episode of America's Most Wanted. Below is her case description:
Video Game Seductress Wanted For Sex With A Minor
Video games cater to scores and scores of a certain demographic: teenage boys.
Many multi-player games now have online capabilities, and can allow players to talk to each other via instant message. Cops say it was this new technology that allowed a 33-year-old California woman to meet and seduce a teenage boy who lived hundreds of miles away.
In 2007, police sources say Luz Diaz lived in San Jose, Calif. and worked a nearby Target store. In her spare time, Diaz enjoyed computers and video games, like the tactical, third-person shooter franchise, 'Gears Of War.'
In April 2007, Diaz was gaming online when she met a 14-year-old boy from the Los Angeles area. They made plans to meet the following weekend for a clandestine rendezvous.
Diaz drove down with a friend, whom she introduced only as Edgar. They picked the teenage boy up from his home, and took him to a Motel 6 in nearby Hacienda Heights. That night, police tell us Diaz and her young victim had sex multiple times.
The following day, the threesome went to Hollywood and saw the sights. When they returned to the motel, they all ate pizza and watched a movie. When Edgar returned to his room to go to sleep, Diaz and her teenaged victim had sex again.
The next day, Diaz and Edgar returned the boy to his house. He initially said that he had spent the weekend at Knott's Berry Farm, but two weeks later, Diaz called the boy on his cell phone and his mother grew suspicious. She grabbed the phone and confronted Diaz. Soon thereafter, the victim's mother notified police.
Thoughts? I know there always seems to be a way of thinking and a double standard that when we see cases of a female adult having sex with a teenage boy some will joke about them being "lucky." Especially in cases where the adult is a teacher and the male is a student. A different scenario here, but the fact of the matter is what Diaz did was still illegal. And it is not natural for an adult woman to be going on the internet to be looking for video game chat rooms seeking teenage boys to have sex with.
I am assuming Diaz is still at large as of this posting date (6/15/2015) since I have seen no proof otherwise. If anyone has proof otherwise, please feel free to let us know.
