Kenner man accused of posing as a cop to extort sex and money from prostitute:

While police were investigating the crimes of the assumed deceased Kylan Laurent, they came across another Backpage predator.

Police there say that 23-year-old Leo Driscoll IV was posing as a police officer in order to extort money and sex from a Backpage prostitute. Isn’t sex through coercion technically rape? Driscoll has been charged with extortion, impersonating an officer, and possession of oxycodone but not rape or any kind of sexual assault for some reason. When a prostitute is raped, it’s still rape.

With their millions of dollars that they’re allegedly spending, what is Village Voice Media doing to protect these women from predators? That answer would be nothing.
