A Los Angeles entertainment executive who says she was sexually assaulted by a man she met on Match.com filed a lawsuit Wednesday asking that the popular dating site start screening its members for sexual predators.
Attorney Mark L. Webb, who represents the woman identified in the lawsuit only as Jane Doe, said he will ask a Los Angeles County Superior Court judge for a temporary injunction barring the site from signing up more members until his client’s demands are met.
It will never happen. The website is under no duty to screen each and every applicant for criminal background history. That is up to the individual who chooses to interact with a person they meet on a website.
Well, I have always thought online dating is just too random, you don't know anything about the person, but what they tell you. Maybe it works for some...but I will just stick with meeting through friends. I did meet a guy on the train once, who I married, I "knew" him for over a year before we went on a date.
I'm thinking that if he was second date material, that's the time to check his background.
She should have done that herself. I think when you sign up on match.com there's a release that you agree to by clicking the box that means you won't sue the website if something happens to you. What's the point of going through all that sign up and box clicking if you're just going to sue them anyhow.
Ugh. I would not have even stayed for coffee with this guy...10 minutes, max, then, "Wow, look at the time"...gotta go! Sorry, I don't really buy the story that he followed her home, I mean, who can follow anyone in LA traffic?
