Miss America won't testify in sex predator sting - Newsday

Excerpt:
"Det. Sgt. John Cowie of Suffolk's computer crimes unit said police made it clear to Nelson "that she's part of an undercover investigation and there may be more expected of her down the road." As to the specific issue of Nelson being required to return to Suffolk and testify, Cowie said, "That's between her and the D.A.'s office."

"I don't think anybody in the police department seriously thought of the ramifications here," said Spota. "Had they consulted with our office, we would have told them that she's potentially a witness in the case."

Officials with the Miss America Organization did not return several calls for comment Monday. Spota said his office was trying to contact Nelson Monday, but was unable to do so. "Her agents have told us that she's not coming back to testify," Spota said."
