13 Year Old Steals Dads Credit Card To Buy Hookers

Message Bookmarked
Bookmark Removed

13 year old from Texas who stole his Dad's credit card and ordered two hookers from an escort agency, has today been convicted of fraud and given a three year community order.

Ralph Hardy, a 13 year old from Newark, Texas confessed to ordering an extra credit card from his father's existing credit card company, and took his friends on a $30,000 spending spree, culminating in playing "Halo" on an Xbox with a couple of hookers in a Texas motel.

The credit card company involved said it was regular practice to send extra credit cards out as long as all security questions are answered.

The escort girls who were released without charge, told the arresting officers something was up when the kids said they would rather play Xbox than get down to business.

Police said they were alerted to the motel by a concerned delivery clerk, whom after delivering supplies of Dr Pepper, Fritos and Oreos had been asked by the kids where they could score some chicks and were willing to pay. They explained they had just made a big score at a "World of Warcraft" tournament and wanted to get some relaxation. On noting the boys age the delivery clerk informed the authorities.

When police arrived at the motel they found $3,000 in cash, numerous electronic gadgets, an Xbox video console with numerous games, and the two local escort girls.

Ralph had reportedly told police that his father wouldn't mind, as it was his birthday last week and he had forgot to get him a present. The father, a lawyer said he had been too busy, but would take him on a surprise trip to Disneyland instead.

Asked why he ordered two escorts, Ralph said he thought it was the thing to do when you win a "World of Warcraft" tournament. They told the suspicious working girls they were people of restricted growth working with a traveling circus, and as State law does not allow those with disabilities to be discriminated against they had no right to refuse them.

The $1,000 a night girls sensing something up played "Halo" on the Xbox with the kids, instead of selling their sexual services.

Ralph's ambition is to one day become a politician.

I don't know how to reconcile my baseline disapproval of this type of thing with the fact that young Ralph Hardy is the greatest young man of his generation.

HI DERE, Monday, 12 May 2008 13:26 (seventeen years ago)

You disapprove of him playing xbox with hookers instead of shagging them?

Herman G. Neuname, Monday, 12 May 2008 13:27 (seventeen years ago)

Between this and the epilepsy hackers story I'm beginning to question my sense of morality.

RabiesAngentleman, Monday, 12 May 2008 13:27 (seventeen years ago)

EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS STORY IS AMAZING.

Matt DC, Monday, 12 May 2008 13:35 (seventeen years ago)

I disapprove of him stealing his dad's credit card but everything he did with it was awesome.

HI DERE, Monday, 12 May 2008 13:35 (seventeen years ago)

"They told the suspicious working girls they were people of restricted growth working with a traveling circus, and as State law does not allow those with disabilities to be discriminated against they had no right to refuse them."

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Matt DC, Monday, 12 May 2008 13:36 (seventeen years ago)

I disapprove of him not screwing the hookers but everything he did with it was awesome.

King Boy Pato, Monday, 12 May 2008 13:37 (seventeen years ago)

This reminds me of when Larry David picks up a prostitute solely so he can use the car pool lane.

Matt DC, Monday, 12 May 2008 13:37 (seventeen years ago)

The last sentence goes into the 'amazing final detail' category.

Ned Raggett, Monday, 12 May 2008 13:42 (seventeen years ago)

This is about as close to a real life version of the plot of 'wierd science' as you can get.

I don't know which line from the story is my favourite.

just gotta chime in with further thumbs-up for:

Prostitution isn't legal in Texas, is it?

HI DERE, Monday, 12 May 2008 14:29 (seventeen years ago)

I've got a soft spot for this:

whom after delivering supplies of Dr Pepper, Fritos and Oreos had been asked by the kids where they could score some chicks and were willing to pay.

RabiesAngentleman, Monday, 12 May 2008 14:32 (seventeen years ago)

I don't think so, HI DERE

"Surprise" trip to "Disneyland".

chicago kevin, Monday, 12 May 2008 14:36 (seventeen years ago)

I love this: Asked why he ordered two escorts, Ralph said he thought it was the thing to do when you win a "World of Warcraft" tournament.

The hookers were just to make the rest of the story more believable!

Outside of movies and (fair enough, funny) fake articles, can you actually "order" stuff delivered to your room at a motel? Call up the desk and say "we need Fritos and hookers, stat!"?

It is a common piece of knowledge that you can ask bellboys about hooker acquisition off-the-record.

HI DERE, Monday, 12 May 2008 17:13 (seventeen years ago)

No, I know - hookers are old hat. I was more fascinated by the Fritos! Wouldn't a bellboy just say "um, there's a 7/11 around the corner..."

The article says that the desk clerk DELIVERED Frito's to their room!

(i.e. the point my tinfoil hat came out while reading the article)

Savannah Smiles, Monday, 12 May 2008 17:15 (seventeen years ago)

the bellman probably just handed them to the hookers when they got there and told them to bring 'em up.

chicago kevin, Monday, 12 May 2008 17:19 (seventeen years ago)

I suppose it's possible that they played the "people of restricted growth" card to secure corn chip delivery.

Yeah, that's kind of one of the things the concierge at a nice hotel can do. Hookers, you usually have to tip extra for.

mh, Monday, 12 May 2008 17:31 (seventeen years ago)

paying hot chixors to come over & play video games for a few hours sounds like a good business model.

slugbuggy, Monday, 12 May 2008 17:42 (seventeen years ago)

circa 1990, anyway.

True even with little stuff. I once heard that every member of Devo are the same height-- Is it true? I dunno, but either way what an neat rumor. Gets a smile out of me. la la-la.

RabiesAngentleman, Friday, 23 May 2008 20:17 (seventeen years ago)

Abbott otm. I'm happily agape that the story's delivery clerk instead of

a) saying "now listen here young men, you'll all have to wait a bit for that kind of thing now eat your oreos" and calling Authorities

or

b) saying "sure boss", turning blind eye + washing hands

chose the course of

c) actually giving the info before calling Authorities!
