AOL Monitor Accused of Luring 15-Year-Old for Sex

Posted by timothy on Sunday April 17, 2005 @01:54PM from the litigious-society dept.

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?"

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.
