The Xbox Live Halo community consists mostly of pre-pubescent teenagers who seem to have just cuss words in their vocabulary, but there are people who buck the trend – creepy people. Destructoid reports of one such guy – 20-year old Joshua Stetar, who was recently arrested for stalking a 15-year old girl he met on Halo. Here’s the scoop:

After talking to her over Xbox Live, Stetar apparently became more than a little infatuated with her, finding out her address and sending flowers and packages. Oh dear. The parents of the girl returned his uncomfortable gifts, but lust-disguised-as-love conquers all, and Stetar was unperturbed, sending hundreds of text messages to her phone. Oh dear oh dear oh dear.

After the girl’s number was changed, Stetar then drove 40 hours to her family’s neighborhood, sending more, increasingly disturbing, messages along the way (he uncovered her new number online, too — real secure). He informed them he was on his way, and made sure to let the girl know that he was going to rape her and her sister. How romantic — most men don’t bother to give you a warning.

He was later found at a nearby motel. Though he was arrested, Stetar was released on bail and may be back terrorizing another girl and her family.
