FBI agents arrested Kelsey Christine Wheeler on April 14, the Oregonian reports. According to the paper, Wheeler came to the attention of law enforcement after FBI and local police tracked down a man named Barrett Spangler, who said he had a conversation with her on a website that advertises services for prostitutes.
