Police: Craigslist Rapist Has HIV:
DeKalb County police in Georgia have arrested 18-year-old Allen Jamar McDowell of Decatur, Georgia for raping two women that he met through craigslist. The article infers that McDowell is also HIV positive.

Detectives say Allen Jamar McDowell of Decatur convinced two women on separate occasions to meet him at an apartment off Kensington Road. The apartment was vacant, but McDowell allegedly gained access and held the women captive while he sexually assaulted them.

Take away the anonymity of craigslist and I doubt this coward would have even struck.

Police think there may have been more victims.

Charges Dropped Against Man Accused Of Impersonating Deputy, Raping Woman:
Here's another downside to being a craigslist hooker. If you're raped you won't be believed.

Robert Pegues was arrested for impersonating a deputy and raping a woman. Then his lawyer turned up the woman's craigslist ad and phone records showing that Pegues spoke several times with the woman prior to the alleged rape. Pegues says he responded to the woman's ad but then had cold feet and didn't pay the woman who in turn accused him of rape.

I'm not saying who's right or wrong in this instance but it's a damn interesting story that should be noted.

Pr. George's Police Suspect Online Prowler in Six Rapes:
Police in Prince George's County, Maryland are saying that a serial rapist is using craigslist among other websites to find his victims. So far he's committed six rapes in the county which began in August.

Allegedly he meets women online to set up sexual encounters then rapes his victims.

Police said they want to know whether others have been assaulted and ask that anyone with information call 301-772-4908.

I'm not going to criticize someone's lifestyle but if you're someone who is into what the article calls 'sex dates' you may want to rethink your choices for your own safety.

Tigard man in court accused of Craigslist rapes:
In one of the posts I made about accused craigslist rapist Ronald M. Leistiko a commenter asked what kind of ad was Leistiko posting to lure these women to his house.

According to the article he wasn't posting ads but responding to ads...

Leistiko allegedly answered ads on Craigslist along with other Internet sites, which offered services such as lingerie modeling and escort service.

That makes this case even more disturbing since one of his victims was 14.

Police search for more victims of alleged Craigslist attacker:
Oregon police are looking to the public's help in the case against 52-year-old Ronald M. Leistiko. He's the Tigard, Oregon man accused of luring girls and women to his house via craigslist and raping them.

Investigators say Leistiko targeted escorts and strippers he met on Craigslist. The victims ranged in age from 14 to 35, police said.

He's charged with assaulting three women, but an undercover officer believes there are likely dozens more who are afraid to call police.

Police say they won't charge admitted prostitutes if they come forward to report they were raped.

Anyone who may have information or possible involvement is urged to contact either Portland Police Bureau Detective C. Waddell at (503) 823-0697 or Officer M. Burkeen at (503) 823-0424.

In addition, callers can also contact Tigard Police Detective Kevin Dresser at (503) 718-2576.

Police: Man Used Craigslist To Lure Girls:
52-year-old Ronald Leistiko of Tigard, Oregon is under arrest for a slew of charges all stemming from accounts that say he used craigslist to lure girls and women, some as young as 14, to his home in some cases assaulting them.

Leistiko was booked into the Washington County Jail on a laundry list of charges. He could be charged with rape, kidnap, prostitution, sex abuse, menacing, attempted rape, strangulation and unlawful sexual penetration.

Investigators believe there may be other unreported incidents that have happened at Leistiko's home.

Anyone with information is asked to call 503-823-0697, 503-823-0424 or 503-718-2576.

Be vigilant ladies. I would not recommend using craigslist for dates. This is not the first story I've posted about someone using craigslist to lure someone to their home.

Police seek rape clues:
Let me preface this by saying that this was sent to me by a professional escort.

Anaheim police arrested Waymon Livingston, 24, of Stanton, charging him with murder and raping three women.

The murder charge includes a special circumstance for rape, authorities said.

Authorities believe he could be connected to other assaults and are appealing to the public to step forward with information.

One woman was raped Aug. 21, 2005 in an Anaheim parking lot, police said. Then another woman was raped in a Stanton hotel room Oct. 25, 2006. The Costa Mesa assault happened May 7, according to authorities.

Livingston contacted a masseuse through Craigslist for a private session at the Best Western on Newport Boulevard, Costa Mesa Sgt. Bryan Glass said. During the session, Livingston propositioned the woman for sex and she refused.

Livingston allegedly strangled the woman until she passed out, Glass said. When she woke up hours later she went to Fountain Valley Hospital, Glass said.

“We collected DNA from her person and crime scene and turned it into the crime lab,” but investigators didn’t make the connection until months later, Glass said.

After Livingston was arrested in connection with the three rapes, investigators were able to link him to the Sept. 9 slaying in Anaheim of Melissa Ann Gonzalez, 21, of Sacramento, through DNA evidence, authorities said.

Like I've pointed out before, there's immense danger lurking on both sides of the craigslist erotic services section.

Let me wrap this up with what the escort sent me in her e-mail.
