AOL Monitor Accused of Luring 15-Year-Old for Sex
Amy's Robot writes "According to the AP, an Internet chat room monitor hired by AOL to keep children safe from sexual predators seduced a California girl online and was about to meet her for sex when he was found out by a co-worker, a lawsuit charges. The incident happened 2 years ago, but has become public this week because the lawsuit was just filed by the girl, now 19. She accuses AOL of failing to supervise the employee and of falsely advertising that its online service was safe for children. Who's watching the watchers?"
So you're saying that someone who realizes they will be on welfare for the rest of their lives shouldn't be protected from interstate underage rape? Or are you saying that if you are raped (which wasn't the case here, luckily), that you shouldn't be allowed to get any sort of compensation?
This post expresses my opinion, not that of my employer. And yes, IAAL.
What is this bullshit about going after the dude's employer? I hope she gets nothing.
You're a dumb shit. Please don't post.
Cheers

More importantly, why is this even on slashdot? This is not news I or anyone else on here should care about in this forum?. I shoudl be reading this on yahoo or cnn, not slashbuzzard.

Well, according to the summary, the co-workers. RYOFS (Read Your Own F**** Summary)
Mostly, if you're 15, and female, and say "HOORAY ILL HAVE SEX WITH YOU, YOU ANON INTARWEB PERSON", you're a fucking whore, and deserve what you get.
Slashdot sucks
This is exactly like my own personal experience. I am a 24 year old guy who has met a 15 year old girl on ICQ.
Now, before you accuse me of being a bad person let me explain. I met Katie by random search and we chatted for a bit, she gave me her phone number and we sent texts to each other. All very mutual. Then I found out she was only 15 (I knew she was younger than me, but had no idea as to _how_ much) I backed right off and thought that it was probably best we didn't keep chatting.
BUT, she kept in touch, and, to make matters worse she's got a pretty nasty eating disorder, OR, has felt the need to make that up, which in either case means she's pretty desparate for attention. I decided that not talking her because of the age difference was just silly, and if there was any good I could do for her then it would be by continuing the relationship.
We don't talk dirty or anything, most of the time it's about movies and bands, and her friends at school. She's even asked me about drugs a bit and I think I've given her good advice on that one.
So my question for the crowd here is this: is this relationship feasible? We're really good friends now, almost like siblings, and I think we will probably meet up later in life once she goes to Uni.
Is this wrong? Is it doomed because men my age just shouldn't have relationships with younger girls?
I'm curious to know what everone thinks.
