Man Accused Of Sexually Assaulting Woman He Met On Match.com Gets One Year Jail Term

It appears like popular dating site, Match.com has been getting quite a bit of negative media attention lately. Following a lawsuit in which a woman was reportedly sexually assaulted by a man she met on the site, Match.com implemented screening members for sexual offenders (see video below). I said it then, and I will say it now, screening may help keep out convicted sexual offenders, but it is not a guarantee of safety.

You see, there are many first time offenders waiting to happen. There are many others who have not yet been convicted, either because they have not been caught in the first place or they got away (law courts and the judicial system are far from perfect). And let's not forget that bars and singles clubs do not screen people. Nothing can ever replace caution and diligence. Bad things can still happen even when one is careful (unfortunately we can’t think of everything) but one’s due diligence is still a must. Okay, back to Match.com.

The mega dating site Match.com will soon become the exclusive dating site on Yahoo!. With Match being the largest paid dating site and Yahoo! Personals being among the largest, this could without doubt make Match the largest dating site on the planet.

The two sites have several things in common including perhaps the best search utilities and high caliber singles.

However this is not the first time Match has merged with another dating site. They once had a similar partnership with the now defunct Oneandonly.com.
