SEDRO-WOOLEY, Wash. – A 19-year-old registered sex offender has been arrested in Skagit County, Wash. after the mother of the girl he was dating set up a Facebook sting.
Jesper and Julie Myrfors say they had been concerned about their daughter’s boyfriend.
“We just thought she was getting into a dangerous situation,” said Jesper.
“When I met him, he was totally charming, really likable,” said Julie.
He is 19-year-old William Elms, also known as Liam. Liam was dating the Myrfors’ 17-year-old-daughter. Then, the couple learned Liam was a registered sex offender.
