www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/story/0,2204 9,22063047-5001021,00.html AN Australian woman charged in the US with trying to lure her teenage internet boyfriend to Adelaide will remain behind bars until she can pay $US850,000 ($987,000) to secure her release on bail. Tamara Broome, 31, has spent the past 15 days at the Pitt County Detention Centre in Greenville, North Carolina. Looking pale with dark circles under her eyes, Broome faced Pitt County District Court yesterday. The university student is accused of attempting to coerce 17-year-old Jonathan Martini to leave Greenville and live with her in Australia. The pair met more than a year ago over the internet playing the mediaeval online game World of Warcraft. An online romance blossomed and the pair even discussed marriage. Under North Carolina law a minor is aged 17 or younger. Investigators believe Jonathan may still have feelings for Broome. After reducing her bond from $US2 million to $US850,000 yesterday, Judge Charles Vincent warned Broome to stay away from the teenager if she was able to raise the money to secure her release. "The worst thing you could do is to try to contact this person or have anybody else contact this person," Judge Vincent told her. Broome, who wore a prison issue navy top and baggy beige trousers in court, cut a lonely figure with no relatives or friends there to lend support.
