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.
