A 14-year-old ninth-grader from Louisiana has been arrested after she attempted to hire a hitman on a website to kill her 14-year-old ex-boyfriend.
The teenager went to the website, 'Rentahitman.com' which she didn't know was a prank website, to hire a hitman against her ex.
She has now been charged with solicitation for murder and was booked into East Baton Rouge Juvenile Detention Center, according to police.
The fake website was created in 2005 by Bob Innes, who is credited with preventing more than 100 attempted homicides by turning the information of 'clients' to the police.
The website promises confidentiality and makes light of the HIPPA law, which is intended to protect medical patients' privacy.
'Our clients' confidentiality is important to us, so rest assured that your information will remain private as required under HIPPA, the Hitman Information Privacy & Protection Act of 1964,' the website reads.
The site also 'offers' the service for people who want to target their bullies, nannies, lawyers, lovers, and neighbors.
Fake testimonials are also featured on the website, with the hypothetical satisfied customers thanking the 'field operators' for 'getting their hands dirty and taking care of the victims.'
'Caught my husband cheating with the babysitter and our relationship was terminated after a free public relations consultation. I'm single again and looking to mingle. Thanks, Guido!' one of the fake testimonials read.
Her lawyer has said the website should be investigated for entrapment. The girl was ordered to be held on a $75,000 bond.
