Holyshit moment
The guy that I mentioned in my post before... the one that said he sometimes "moves too fast". I googled his name. HE IS A REGISTERED SEX OFFENDER! It has his picture, same guy. Omg Omg, I almost went out with a sex offender.
Re: Holyshit moment
Someone needs to tell the dude that rape =/= "moving too fast."
You sure as hell dodged a bullet there!
OMG, I was totally thinking that I wonder if that was what he was referring to! WTF! So freaky. Always google!!
I am glad you dodge an awful bullet there. He must be stupid though to use online dating with his history.
No, it just says "Any other offense committed in another jurisdiction"
I tried to google just his name without his city/state a million pages come up
Wow. Nice call on looking him up.
Couldnt these online dating sites get in hot water by allowing registered sex offenders to sign up?
I was wondering that too... I sent them a tweet so we'll see what they say
I'm sure it's part of their "disclaimers" though
I believe there was a case filed against Match.com by a woman who went out with a registered sex offender who raped her. Basically it was determined that online dating sites have no real way to verify information on their members. Even if say, they required a SS# for you to sign up, you could just give a fake one. Plus they do have it stated in their user agreement that they aren't responsible. In the end I don't think the woman won her case. Thank God you googled that dude. Holyshit is right.
I wouldn't assume that ANYONE I went out with/met online was verified in any sort of way. TO assume that they pay for a membership = "gauranteed not a d-bag/sexxoffender/etc" is dumb in my book. I mean, this could happen to anyone you meet at any bar, etc. The power of the internet is often priceless. I don't think she should have won her case either, IMO.
And yes...thank GOD you googled...and dang.
I looked into this and found that after this lawsuit, match now checks users against the national sex offender registry.
That is really scary.
((hanging head in shame for advising you to give him a second chance......))
