A Pennsylvania teenager has admitted to using Facebook to hire a hitman.  Nineteen-year-old West Chester, Pa., resident Corey Christian Adams faces 11 to 22 years in prison after entering into a plea agreement where he admitted to attempting to hire a hitman on Facebook to kill a woman who has accused him of rape.

Nineteen-year-old West Chester, Pa., resident Corey Christian Adams accepted the plea agreement Friday on charges of rape, criminal solicitation of murder and other counts. In July, a 20-year-old woman who had accused Adams of raping her called police and pointed out a Facebook posting where Adams was offering $500 for a "girls head". In a later posting, police say Adams said "he needed this girl knocked off right now."
