Honey trap - just what was he thinking?

A 68-year old British academic has been given five years in jail in Argentina for smuggling 2kg of cocaine - he claims he thought he was about to start a new life with a beauty queen, whom he'd met online but never seen in real life.

She never turned up but a guy did and gave him a suitcase to take to Brussels!

Can a grown man be so naive? confused

When you're lonely it's very easy to delude yourself about someone.
