Graphic Craigslist ad leads to guilty plea:

A woman from York Haven, Pennsylvania was sentenced to community service and a mental health evaluation after pleading guilty to posting a harassing craigslist ad.

In a fit of anger the woman posted an ad on craigslist, probably the casual encounters section, soliciting sex listing her friend’s phone number on the ad. The victim received a slew of explicit text messages.

You may think this is funny and cute and not a big deal but ‘pranks’ like this have led to sexual assaults and rapes have been orchestrated by ads like this on craigslist.

It is possible to screen ads so that things like this are far less likely to happen. Try Geebo.com, where they screen all their ads before they are ever posted on their site.

Police: Craigslist companionship turned into extortion:

As I’ve mentioned before you really shouldn’t hook up with strangers on craigslist, especially if you’re married. Several bad things can happen to you if you do and in this case it was extortion.

27-year-old Amber Louise McGovern of Eugene, Oregon was arrested for allegedly trying to extort money from a married man after they hooked up on craigslist. Police say that she was a kept woman for a while but when the guy said he was cutting her off she threatened to reveal the relationship to his wife.

Don’t think that the guy has gotten off the hook either. I’m sure he had as lot to explain to his wife.

Anyway, police believe that McGovern may have had more victims and that she has used the aliases of Amber Dawn and Amber Swope.

Woman sold neighbor’s trailer on craigslist:

Since CCL is its own full time blog again I can’t slack off on the little stories anymore.

Anyway, 29-year-old Vanessa Kimball of Land O’ Lakes, Florida, which as well all know is made completely out of butter, has been arrested in grand theft charges.

It seems that she was upset with a neighbor’s trailer in the apartment complex’s parking lot, so she allegedly listed it for free on craigslist. Of course someone came and picked it up. The trailer was returned but the owner says it was returned damaged.

Again of craigslist removed the perceived notion of anonymity from its site, which is just one of the many things that should be removed, neighbor pissing matches would be just one of the crimes that would be quelled on its pages.

Asheville man charged with online extortion:

58-year-old Michael Harvey Oakley of Asheville, North Carolina has been charged with trying to extort money from a man who posted a personal ad on craigslist.

The article doesn’t say what kind of personal ad it was but let’s take a look at the circumstantial evidence. First the ad was posted in Ashville which is also called the Berkeley of the south. The personal ad was placed by a man and answered by another man. Oakley is accused of threatening to reveal sensitive personal information if his demands were not met.

It wouldn’t be unrealistic to think that the victim was possibly cruising on craigslist. If the victim does it fact lead a closeted gay lifestyle then that is his choice. However this is just one of the many risks people run by cruising for anonymous sex, gay or straight, on craigslist.

And just out of curiosity since I’m not a member of the gay community if I have any gay readers I’d like to know your opinion on this practice. I understand that there are people who are closeted or on the down low so to speak but I’d like to hear your opinion on this in general.

St. Louis man accused of Craigslist blackmail scheme:

You don’t hear a lot about blackmail these days outside of bad TV shows. It’s an underrated crime. It has such a cool name. Too bad it’s one of the more stupid crimes you could commit. It’s a 50/50 chance that the victim will just turn and go to the police.

For instance take 26-year-old Ethan Mikeal Avalos of St. Louis, MO. He’s accused of blackmailing a medical professional who had a few paid craigslist liaisons if you know what I mean.

The victim paid $3500 the first time and paid a total of $8K. That’s where the scheme usually goes wrong. Once you score and get away with it do not keep going back to the well because the victim will eventually either go broke or get sick of your ass. That’s when they usually go to police.

I’m not too broken up for the ‘victim’ in this case either. If you kept it zipped you wouldn’t have been in this kind of situation.

Second Craigslist “Group Sex” Bust:

The ‘Soccer Mom Group Sex’ phony craigslist ad story keeps getting better even if the term ‘better’ is relative at this point.

We do know now that Philip Conran was the man who placed the ad because he was feuding with his neighbors. Still no word on what the feud was about but Conran seems like a bitter unemployed man. While the two aren’t mutually exclusive he seems to fit that profile in my opinion.

However what I want to talk about is the dyslexic craigslist pervert who assaulted a girl at the wrong house, Richard Zeh. (pictured)

According to he police report provided to the public generously by The Smoking Gun Zeh told police that…

that the button on his shorts had “fallen off” and that his “pubic hair and his erect penis could have been sticking out of his pants” when he walked into the teenager’s residence.

I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that his dyslexia didn’t have dick to do with the assault. Pun intended.

Man Charged With Posting Fake Craigslist Soccer Mom Sex Ad:

Remember the fake craigslist ad advertising group sex with a soccer mom that led to bored dyslexic pervert Richard Zeh to assault an 18-year-old girl?

The man who allegedly placed the ad has been caught and he is 42-year-old Philip Conran of Newington, Conn.

He is an unemployed chef who may also be behind 2 other phony sex ads on craigslist.

Conran turned himself in and allegedly confessed to police.

No word on what the motive was yet.

‘Craigslist’ Suspect Says Boredom Prompted Him To Answer Sex Ad:

Remember the alleged dyslexic craigslist pervert Richard Zeh? If not catch up here.

Anyway he claims that he responded to the obviously fake craigslist group sex with a soccer mom ad because he was bored. Oh I’m sorry. “Very bored”. Oh, well that explains everything then. Off you go. You don’t grope an 18-year-old girl because you’re bored and you think she’s playing hard to get. Especially when you have a wife and child.

It also turns out that maybe it wasn’t a dyslexic accident that Zeh went to the 18-year-old girl’s house since the girl claims she recognized Zeh as her former personal trainer.

He allegedly said that the fear the victim was experiencing as ‘sexual tension’. Then when he went back to the girl’s house he allegedly said that “Just so you know I’d rather [have sex with] you than her.”

By the way, he’s been released on bail. Sleep sound West Hartford.

The ad poster has been arrested as well. I’ll have more on that as soon as I can.

Creepy Craigslist Posting Leads to Arrest:

Someone in the West Hartford, CT area posted a phony ad on craigslist saying that a soccer mom wanted to have group sex and listed an address. Not surprisingly some idiots believed it was real and went to the address listed. Six idiots showed up at the address listed and were turned away without incident.

29-year-old Richard Zeh also responded to the ad however his lawyer claims because of his dyslexia he went to the wrong house. At that house was an 18-year-old girl who told Zeh that he had the wrong house. Then police say that Zeh went to the address listed in the ad and was turned away like all the others.

Apparently Zeh must not have been satisfied with that response because he allegedly went back to the house with the 18-year-old girl and groped her before taking off.

Zeh’s lawyer also claims that he has ‘psychological issues’. I think by psychological issues he means that he’s a dumbass. Not because he has dyslexia but because he believed a craigslist ad that solicited group sex from a woman.

Listen up you cretins who cruise the casual encounters section on craigslist. The ads that solicit group sex and rape fantasies from women are fake. When you see one and think that this one looks legit it’s not. It never will be. So stop thinking with your dicks, get off of craigslist and maybe you’ll get to stay out of jail.

Police are still looking for the loser that had nothing better to do than post the ad.

Even better is that at the time of his arrest Zeh requested to call his attorney and his wife. I bet he had a hell of a time explaining why he got arrested.

Also an 80-year-old man dressed as Santa Claus showed up to the house listed in the ad. I bet that instead of reindeer he had a windowless van.

Denton Woman Lured In By Craigslist Sex Predator:

Police in Denton, Texas have arrested 31-year-old Jeremy Wicker for allegedly threatening a woman after she responded to an ad he placed on craigslist.

The ad was searching for a female singer for a Christian band. After responding to the ad the woman received a text message from Wicker that said “Just got home from the Fry Street bars. What are you going to be wearing for me when you sing for me?”

The woman’s fiance texted him back as a man is tend to do. Wicker responded with such texts as…

“I want your wife hurt bad.”

“I’m outside.”

“I have the apartment number.”

“Don’t make me do it.”

You get the idea.

Wicker claims that the messages were harmless and he’s like that because he’s got the Ass Burgers.

Now for those of you new to the site I am not trying to make fun of people who have Asperger’s Syndrome. I know people who legitimately have Asperger’s and I stand by my opinion that Asperger’s does not cause criminal behavior such as murder or in this case stalking.

However for every criminal assbag that tries to use it as a defense they get labeled by me as being the dreaded Sandwich of Doom aka Ass Burgers. Childish I know but it gets the point across. But I digress.

Did his Asperger’s make him a registered sex offender? That’s right kids. The 31-year-old previously reached a plea deal for the online solicitation of a 14-year-old girl. And he still has a case pending where he stalked another 14-year-old girl using craigslist and even allegedly showed up to one of her school basketball games hoping someone would call out her name. That’s not Asperger’s. That’s called being a sexual predator.

So if states are making MySpace and Facebook check their users for registered sex offenders why isn’t craigslist?
