Then, a week ago, EH disappeared from her home in Pennsylvania. Her friend told police she was with Jaret Wright.
Local 12 spoke on the phone with the lead detective in the case. He said, just like in the Hamilton County case, Wright met E on social media, made his way to Chambersburg, and lived in her room without the parents' knowledge.
So how could this have happened? You may want to start looking for that answer in Washington, D.C. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 2017 that states may not blanketly prohibit people from using social media, even if they are sex offenders.
In Packingham v. North Carolina, the high court said it is a first amendment violation for states to use a social media ban as a sentence. States can limit who sexual predators can contact, and in Wright's case, he was restricted from contacting his past victim.
