RSSThe Legacy of “Erotic Services” on CraigsList … Convicted Rapist David Lee Gage Found Dead in Cell from Apparent Suicide
For how many years was Craigslist “erotic services” allowed to put women in harms way?
Exactly how many rapists and murderers have their been lurking on CraigList’s “erotic services”? Just when one thinks that a google search for a Craigslist rapist or killer is going to be for an individual one is doing a post for, another Craiglist rapist appears.
David Lee Gage would pose as a police officer- brandishing a fake badge or gun and telling the women to either have sex with him or be arrested
On May 21, 2009 David Lee Gage, a 51 year old Kansas man was sentenced to 29 years in prison for raping women who advertised in the “erotic services” section of Craigslist.
David Lee Gage, 51, of Wichita, was convicted last month of three counts of rape, two counts of aggravated criminal sodomy and one count each of aggravated robbery and aggravated assault.
Prosecutors say he met the women at motels, flashed a federal marshal’s badge and threatened to arrest them for prostitution if they didn’t have sex with him.
Assistant Sedgwick County Prosecutor Justin Edwards said he believes there were other victims over the years, though the three women who testified against Gage were raped in a 10-week span last year.
Flash forward … David Lee Gage of Wichita was found dead in his cell at the Sedgwick County Jail of an apparent suicide. Gage was awaiting transfer to prison after being convicted in May of seven felony counts, including three counts of rape. It would appear that prison life did not appeal to David Lee Gage. Seems that he could do the crime, but not the time.

Craigslist Erotic Services don’t kill or rape people…..people do.
I think people utilizing the Craigslist Erotic Services are asking for trouble. Maybe they want the potential excitement…..who knows.
Craigslist is a great service for the millions of people that use it. The fact that a thousandth of a percent have been devious in their use of the service is too bad and gives it a bad rap.
Its good that this Craigslist service (erotic services) is gone, but these creeps will come up with something different. Taking away Craigslist will not stop the attacks by sick individuals.
May he ROT in HELL for eternity.
Isn’t that considered prostitution? At any rate, the sick bastard is gone and I say Good Riddance, he will not rape or sodomize anybody else.
Lets be fair about it: Ban guns and Craigs list.
Or keep them both. More hookers and fireams!
it may not stop the attacks by sick individuals however, by them (Craigslist) no longer offering their lurid sex ads will in effect make it more difficult for deviants to find victims.
In a Boston Globe article, Craigslist made over 90 million dollars off these ads ~ there were BILLIONS of hits a month on these sex ads…Craigslist having apparently stopped these ads, that will most definitely slow down the sex traffic for the time being~
Perhaps the Governors/DA’s Nationwide who were opposed to these illegal ads on Craigslist should have taken it a step further and made it mandatory that C.List pay restitution and put it towards prisons… now, there’s a thought ~ it would have solved many things ~ keeping these deviants off the streets, monster predator/sex offenders didn’t have it so easy to prey upon society…and with 90 Million dollars, imagine that money spent on prisons keeping these monsters inside for life? Now, that’s sustainable business ~ the interest alone on 90 Million could even afford new prisons if the others were full… fantastic!
Craigslist may have offered some good services ~ however, they may not have used good judgement in allowing their company to post such offerings ~ did they really need the money supporting such a seedy industry?… one can turn a blind eye to the effects this advertising has on society ~ however, it was their choice to partner with such and they are reaping what they’ve sown…
it wasn’t until the DA’s put the pressure on them, that they were forced to stop… Craigslist kept pushing the envelope as far as they could to keep the money flowing into their pockets… BIG BIG MONEY…
Another Scumbag bites the dust ! Woo Hoo!
Please pass the party hats……next!
He just saved us taxpayers some money…Probably the only thing the scum ever did right in his entire miserable worthless life.
I’m glad he’s in jail and Craig’s list is disbanded…. But, I have a question……What does an adult women expect when going on to any site called “Erotic” HELLO!!
