Match.com Sued by California Woman Raped by Sexual Predator Alan Wurtzel She Met on Dating Site, Call a Private Investigator and Check Them Out First.

A California woman has sued http://www.match.com/, saying she was raped by a sexual predator she met on the popular dating website http://www.match.com/ . The woman says the alleged attacker previously faced sex crime charges, and the website could have prevented the assault with proper screening of members, according to the lawsuit filed Wednesday in Los Angeles Superior Court.

Her attorney, Mark L. Webb, described his client as an entertainment exec and Ivy League grad. She was identified in court documents only as Jane Doe. He is asking for a temporary injunction prohibiting Match.com from signing on more members until the site promises to screen its clients for sexual predators.

The woman was allegedly raped in her home by Alan Paul Wurtzel, 66, his photo above, after the two went on their second date at a café in West Hollywood last year. She said after the date he followed her home and forced himself on her.  Alan Paul Wurtzel had been the subject of several criminal investigations alleging sexual assault, beginning in 2001 and continuing to 2004....THIS WAS PUBLIC RECORD !

The man's attorney, Sharron Morris, described the incident as "a consenting sexual encounter."  Wurtzel was previously charged with two felony sexual assault counts in Los Angeles last year. He pleaded not guilty, and the case's next court date is April 26.

Robert Platt, an attorney for Match.com said the company is not responsible and shouldn't be expected to screen all its users. "Then you'd have to ask for people's social security numbers, which they don't want to do. And of course you'd have to pass on the cost to the consumer of doing this," he said, MORE FROM THIS SOURCE..

This is not true, all you need is the correct name and the correct date of birth to run a criminal background check, you do not need a social security number, in most cases the social security number is not listed on jail records or sexual offender/predator databases.

But experts, law enforcement officials and private investigators warn that the world of internet romance is fraught with peril, ranging from liars to sexual predators and even murderers, who hide their motives behind seemingly innocuous virtual identities.
The numbers are worrisome – and horror stories abound. In February, MySpace was forced to cancel 90,000 accounts on its site that authorities revealed were linked to registered sex offenders. It was a fraction of the 130 million users of the site, but a significant percentage of the more than one million registered sex offenders in the United States.

In April a Boston medical student, Philip Markoff, dubbed the “Craigslist killer” by the media, was arrested and changed with murdering a masseuse who advertised on the popular website’s erotic services section. Two months later Craigslist was hit with another scandal when it emerged that a North Carolina man used the site to hire a man to rape his wife while the husband watched, MORE FROM THIS SOURCE..
