Man faces stalking charge after meeting woman through Craigslist:

Yet another cautionary tale of what lurks on craigslist.

Police in Austin, Texas say 24-year-old John Bateman was stalking a woman he met through craigslist. He did the usual stalking stuff of threatening e-mails and text messages but the he stepped it up a notch.

He allegedly called her and threatened to burn down her house and rape her teenage daughter.

In my opinion this is typical of the dregs of society that go through the personals and casual encounter sections of craigslist.
