Virginia man pleads guilty after posting Craigslist ads which sent nearly 100 men to victim's house for sex

A 61-year-old Virginia man pled guilty yesterday to stalking and identification fraud charges after having made over 160 posts on Craigslist in order to have men go to his ex-girlfriend's house seeking sexual encounters.

The posts, over 100 of which were made while at his job at the Library of Congress, contained the victim's home address and photograph. According to the United States Attorney's Office for the Western District of Virginia,

Between January and March 2013 more than 100 men appeared at or around the victim’s home seeking sexual encounters with her based upon the ads posted by Kuban. In one instance, a man arrived at the victim’s home with a crowbar in order to pry open an electronic gate the victim had installed to protect herself. The man brought the crowbar at the urging of Kuban, posing as the victim. The threat to the victim’s safety became so great that local law enforcement felt it necessary to post deputies at her home to deter trespassing and harassment.
The defendant faces up to 15 years in prison.
