In Carpinteria, California, police arrested 61-year-old registered sex offender Glenn Sherman Merrill. Merrill allegedly posted an ad on craigslist for a home health aide. An 18-year-old girl responded to the ad, and when she was taking care of Merrill, he allegedly exposed himself to the girl and asked her to assist him with, ahem, something else.
She told the cops who locked Merrill up for failure to report, and I would assume the exposure charge as well.
It just goes to show that apparently there is no section on craigslist that is free from criminals and predators.
