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?"

    Who cares!? 15 is plenty old enough for sexual consent; why when I was 15 I had already done just about everything one can do with a girl (and a couple of the things one can do with two girls!). Most of it I had talked with her about it online first. Treating teenagers like babies turns them into subservient immature adults. Lets lower or eliminate the age of consent.

    All of you are LIARS!!! The internet is perfectly safe. There is no pr0n, there are no hackers, and no pedophiles. AOL is using false advertising saying the internet is dangerous and only they can protect you from nothingness.

    I see that you are fluent in Gibbering Moronese. Unfortunately, I'm not. You generate more waffle than the waffle making machine in a waffle factory. Clearly, you spend way too much time in darkened rooms in front of your seven-year-old computer turning a whiter shade of pale. Go outside once in a while and breathe, before your brain starts to rot from all that festering stagnation and cognitive dysfunction.

    Are you normally this dumb or are you just having a blonde moment? You are obviously suffering from Clue Deficit Disorder. Oh well, at least you only charge what your free advice is worth. You bring to mind a quote from Josh Billing: "Doesn't know much, but leads the league in nostril hair."

    You have that certain nothing. Truly, you are about as interesting as watching a slug move slowly across a large rock. Looking at you, Darwin would NOT be pleased to see how inefficiently evolution sometimes works. Maybe you wouldn't be such a Jerk-In-The-Box if you weren't so dense that light bends around you; if your weren't so fat that a "Place Your Billboard Ad Here" is printed on each of your butt cheeks, or if you weren't so ugly that even the tide wouldn't take you out. Nah, of course you would.

    Dullard, do yourself and everyone else a favor, take a fatal overdose of your medication.

    That was their official version. They just shut it down (and made it pay-only) because they wanted to make some money off of it and didn't want to "give away" something for free.

    Older men will always think younger women are attractice and older women will always do the same with younger men. The ideal of beauty is never nose hairs, toe nail fungus, brittle skin, wrinkles, it is youth.

    But the thing is you cannot relate to a teen girl when you are in your 20s and been out of school/ arents home for years. She is either still in highschool or fresh out. Do you guys go to the highschool football games together? It must be fun. HAHAHA

    The PTC organized mass form complaints to the FCC to provide the illusion of massive complaints.

    Right, and in response the standard Slashdotter asks where the parents are. It makes no sense.

    Yes, PARENTS should control what is on the TVs in their houses, not what is broadcast.

    Oh, so if we're watching The Muppets Live and suddenly the guest star (say Janet Jackson) pulls out their wang to try to get some publicity to sell her new album, the parents should control it? Alrighty then.
