On December 12, 2005, a ten year old female minor in Vinton, Virginia, Jane Doe #1, was in an America Online (hereinafter AOL) chat room, "Kid2Kid" chatting for approximately 30-45 minutes with Soccerbabe2u143" who claimed to be a 10 year old female named "Kimberly". Jane Doe#1 received permission from her grandmother to give out their phone number. Approximately five minutes later, an adult male claiming to be the father of Kimberly called Jane Doe #1 on the telephone. The adult male engaged the child in an inappropriate sexual conversation. Shortly thereafter, Jane Doe # 1 reported the incident to her grandmother, who promptly called the Vinton Police Department, a member of the Southern Virginia Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force ( hereinafter SOVA ICAC). A subsequent investigation revealed that the defendant, TIMOTHY ANDREW FUGIT, called Jane Doe #1.
