CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Craigslist is again under scrutiny after a North Carolina man was charged with using the online site to fulfill his fantasy by finding someone to rape his wife while he watched.
The woman said Thursday she has been "traumatized” by the attack, which she did not know about ahead of time. It happened a month after Craigslist agreed to overhaul its policing of sex ads following a slaying in Massachusetts.
"This is the worst thing that’s ever happened to me,” she said a day after her husband was ordered held on $200,000 bond on charges including first-degree rape.
Experts say the case is likely to lead to more questions for Craigslist, which has faced criticism for its "erotic services” section.
"We share the public’s horror ... and our heart goes out to the victim,” Craigslist spokeswoman Susan MacTavish Best said in an e-mail Wednesday.
