Woman Faces Prison For Selling Dirty Underwear

Postal Inspectors Discover Web-Based Business

Posted: 8:39 p.m. EDT July 5, 2002

 

ANDERSON, S.C. -- A Central, S.C., woman pleaded guilty this week to federal charges of mailing soiled underwear and other items that she sold over the Internet.

 

According to a release from South Carolina U.S. Attorney Strom Thumond Jr., 21-year-old Christine Vetter (pictured, left) admitted in federal court that she operated a Web site offering the items for sale.

 

Vetter said that, from November 2000 to March 2002, she sold and mailed about $9,000 worth of soiled underwear and other used hygiene and sex-related items on the Web site while she was a student at Clemson University.

 

The woman faces up to five years in prison or a $250,000 fine on charges of "mailing indecent and filthy substances."

 

The case was investigated by U.S. Postal Service agents. The investigators learned about Vetter's business when they spotted a letter addressed to her, labeled that it contained child pornography.

 

The envelope did not contain any child pornography, inspectors said. They later determined that that the sender of the letter was a disgruntled customer of Vetter's Web site.

 

Vetter's site is no longer operating.

The moral of this story is that you should always use UPS or FedEx :-)

As much as I like Americans - and I truly do - I think they are the sexiest men in the world - if this is all their government has to spend their money on, they are a society on a downward spiral. Murderers can get less time and without the fine!
