Title: Craigslist Hilarity
Post by: tyrannosaurus vex on May 16, 2010, 07:26:51 AM
True story that happened right here in my town.

A guy who lives here had a fantasy about raping a girl. Apparently he didn't actually want to rape a person, though, so he posted a Craigslist ad looking for a role-playing partner. "I come into your house and rape you, then leave," he offered.

He gets a reply. "Hi. I live at XXX Whatever St. Come by and rape me, I've had a rape fantasy for a while and I'm ready to try it out."

So he does.

Couple days go by, the Cops show up at his house and arrest the shit out of him.

Turns out the girl he was roleplaying with wasn't the person who replied to his ad. Her ex-boyfriend did. He was arrested somewhere in California.

Heard about that, but the details were a little different.

I wonder if he got the idea from this NCIS episode:

tl;dr: It wasn't the husband after all.

QuoteThe advertisement appeared on Craigslist in early December.

"Need a real aggressive man with no concern for women," read the posting on the Internet classified advertising forum. Its purported author was a Casper, Wyo., woman, whose photo also was posted.

One week later, a man accepted the offer, forcing his way into the woman's home, tying her up and raping her at knifepoint.

"I'll show you aggressive," he allegedly said, according to court testimony.

In fact, authorities say, the woman had nothing to do with the ad. Instead, they say, a former boyfriend had posted it, soliciting her assault.

The more I think about the kind of person it would take to actually use that trick, the less I like humans.

I had heard about this too. Did anyone take any legal action against her ex?

Seems like he would be at least as guilty.

Also, rape fantasies aside, actually following through with that without talking to the other person first seems awfully stupid.

That's actually what I was thinking. Wouldn't they, like. Talk about safe words and the like?

rape fantasy does not include safe words / getting permission face to face first

In that case, this particular brand of rape fantasy is not SSC, and therefore should be discouraged.

I wonder if anyone has ever tried to enforce copyright on a crime as performance art.....
