Miss America has changed her mind. She now says she will testify against the men she helped arrest in an undercover sex sting.
Lauren Nelson worked with police in Suffolk County to target would-be Internet sexual predators, taped for an episode of "America's Most Wanted."
The 20-year-old beauty queen posed as a teenager and lured men into chatting online and meeting her at a Bay Shore home, where police and crews were waiting. Eleven men were arrested in the sting.
Suffolk District Attorney Thomas Spota said earlier that Nelson had told prosecutors she did not plan to return to Long Island to testify.
But now, the Miss America Organization says Nelson is "fully cooperating" with law enforcement officials," including the district attorney's office.
