Who knew playing SCRABBLE could lead to something like this?!?

Convicted Pervert Back in Jail for Internet Luring in SCRABBLE Chat RoomNearly four years after he was convicted of seven counts of Internet luring, a Winnipeg man's online activities have landed him back in court.

James Glenn Horeczy admitted he made sexually suggestive comments to a woman he believed to be 15 years old while visiting a Scrabble chat room.

Horeczy, 47, told court Tuesday he wasn't the only one chatting about more than triple word scores.

"Although my main intention was to play Scrabble, I did get caught up in the sexual talk," Horeczy said. "I should have realized how risky this was for me."
