A 36-year-old mother-of-two has been arrested after she flew across the US for allegedly having sex with a 13-year-old teenager she befriended while playing video games on the Internet.

Rachel Ann Hicks, 36, is being held on suspicion of child molestation and rape; she allegedly met the boy in an X-Box live chat room, the 'Daily Mail' online quoted police officers in Maryland as saying. The online relationship progressed to phone calls, texting, e-mails and sending sexually explicit images and movies between one another, the investigators said.
