Men robbed in Utah sex scam

Man charged in Craigslist sex scam:

Two men in Salt Lake City, Utah were robbed after going to meet what they though was a woman that was interested in them for sex. In reality the woman was 21-year-old Shawlee Tuli Ama who allegedly robbed both men at gunpoint in 2 separate incidents.

I'm still amazed at the stupidity of some guys who actually think that random women from the internet will willingly have sex with anybody from craigslist.

Cleveland craigslist robber gets 12 years

Cleveland robber who used Craigslist to lure a victim gets 12 years in prison:

34-year-old Shawn Williams of Cleveland, Ohio was sentenced to 12 years behind bars for a pair of robberies he was convicted for.

The one we're concerned about was the one where Williams posted an ad on craigslist for a large screen TV, a Playstation and some games for $1000.

When a buyer met up with Williams he robbed him at gunpoint.

This tends to happen when you're dealing with the virtually anonymous.

Md. man gets 18 months for craigslist attack

Man gets 18 months for Craigslist attack:

21-year-old Jasyen Aaron Shelton was sentenced to 18 months for attacking a craigslist hooker.

Back in April Shelton met up with a craigslist hooker in Linthicum, Maryland forced her into his car at knife point, robbed her, and threatened to rape her.

However due to the victim changing her story, not originally telling police about her craigslist ad and not being able to be located Shelton could only be sentenced to 18 months. If he doesn't stay out of trouble he could be sent to jail for 8 years. He does not have to register as a sex offender but does have to submit his DNA to be on record with the national database.

Yet craigslist thinks that they're a bastion of free speech. Yet it comes of the blood of the victims.

Philadelphia teens charged with craigslist robberies

Teens Arrested In Violent Craigslist Robberies:

Two teens charged in Craiglist robberies:

I guess a 17-year-old Florida kid wasn't enough. Now we have two 16-year-olds from Philly charged with armed robberies that were set up through craigslist.

16-year-olds Theodore Graham and Anthony Owens have been charged with three armed robberies that were set up through craigslist.

In this case the victims were lured to a location where they thought they were buying a TV or other electronics. Graham and Owens then allegedly robbed their victims at gunpoint taking their cash and cell phones.

The whole craigslist anonymity is again a problem here and craigslist still refuses to do anything about it.

Florida teen charged with craigslist robbery

Pasco teen faces pair of armed robbery charges:

Now teens are getting into the act.

17-year-old Robert Earl Blue Jr. of Pasco, Florida was arrested for several armed robberies that happened through craigslist.

He allegedly put up a Blackberry for sale on craigslist then would point a gun at prospective buyers and rob them of their money.

Again, the anonymity that craigslist allows its users just keeps leading to more and more trouble.
