Assault Victim Met Attacker Through CraigsList:
This is the most disturbing craigslist story I’ve posted so far…
In an arrest warrant obtained by KXAN NBC Austin, a 23-year-old man told police that he was raped after answering an ad on CraigsList — the popular Internet community.
The victim says he answered an ad offering “partying and hanging out with other men and women.”
He says after talking through e-mail and by phone with a man identified as Ernest Lamey, the pair made arrangements to meet in person.
The most disturbing part is police say he could have more victims.
Details found in the warrant show that Lamey gave the victim some sort of alcoholic beverage. Police believe it was laced with sleeping pills.
After falling asleep, the victim woke up to Lamey sexually assaulting him and called 911. A search on Lamey’s home uncovered the sleeping pill Ambien, a pill crusher and powder in a kitchen cabinet.
If you think you may be a victim, contact Austin police.
Is anyone else having flashbacks of Pulp Fiction and ‘The Gimp’?
Anyway if you’re looking for friends, with benefits or otherwise, you may want to look somewhere else besides craigslist.
