Have the police raid the Greece Massage parlors. They do noting here. They may get a few Greece Town officials, city police and county sheriff. It will never happen. Pick on poor Stephen Frerichs. This man is being used as an example. But the only 2 to get shut down were because of a shoot out with Rochester Police Officer (Perrrone) who girlfriend was a prostitute at Elite. Perrone was a hero and Frerichs a criminal???

What type of tip do investigators really need? Take 5 seconds to scan online and you could arrest dozens. Dear investigators, here are some tips for you, check out these pages and you can keep busy for a while.

These guys in the burbs are nothing but criminals and pervs.

Good to see that the Monroe County Sheriff's arrested John's, the RPD have only prosecuted 1 John in over 30 years.

This guy was directly related to Tom, from Fairport.

The guy was actually obtaining the hooker for Tom, I heard.

Tom is THAT way, you know?

For a business with this much traffic and this much income, the problems its users encounter day after day, post after post, are really beyond comprehension. They make enough money to fix this stuff, folks – and they refuse to do it!

And that’s not all they refuse to fix. Over the last few years, newspapers and television news stories across the country have been reporting stories about victims – from theft to rape to murder – whose only mistake was responding to a Craigslist ad. Note to Craig: telling us that “most people are good,” is not a sufficient answer! For years, law enforcement agencies have been fighting with Craigslist to clean up the obvious illegal activities on the site – and Craigslist has repeatedly balked or stalled.

The word is spreading that Craigslist is a dangerous place to buy, sell, or look for a date. This is sad state of affairs in an era when technologies exist to ferret out much of the illegal activity, and good old fashioned monitoring can clean up much of the rest – and yet Craigslist resorts to a flag system that benefits troublemakers as readily as legitimate users. Yes, the criminals are in the minority; but the problem is this: more than on any other site I’ve ever seen (and I work in this industry), criminals flock to Craigslist.

Craigslist users have every right to expect that their safety come before some abstract concept of “democracy.”

People aren’t fools: as long as Craigslist refuses to evolve, the site will increasingly be defined by assaults, bugs, scams and other illegal activities – risks and frustrations that fewer and fewer users will be willing to put up with.

There are alternatives to Craigslist - tulsaworld, geebo, oodle and olx.com .

you're absolutely right. I think their days are numbered from a few weirdos that will sink them, due to their inability or refusal to fix what is broken. they had a great idea, but balking at fixing it is just pushing users elsewhere. I'm not going to advertise anything of worth and then have a prospective whack-job come to my house. leave with a pretense of no interest and come back to rob me.

Will Danny Wegman fire him on Monday? He now has a police record. Does not look good for the corporate image at Wegmans to have a gay male involved in gross activity and then working at Wegmans. What will Danny Do? This may cost Danny his next civic award. This story is sure better than the new carts at THE PITTSFORD WEGMANS.

Looks like Wegmans has hired another looser with no brains. According to YNN 9 he just wanted some oral sex from another man? Can we get a comment from Joe Natale about his employment or termination? How about a statement from Danny Boy.

The worst part of this story is how sad his parents will be when they find out their son is gay and how embarrassing that everyone including their friends and neighbors all knows now too.

So glad Monroe Sheriffs have this much extra time on their hands. So he made a date with a pros-SO WHAT? Consenting adults. Instead of spending my tax dollars on this crap WHY DON'T YOU START STOPPING ALL THE FREAKIN DRUNKS ON THE ROAD? And by the way, this smacks of borderline entrapement.
I've used Craigslist to buy and sell a number of things, and I've had no problem.(And NO I don't mean erotic things..LOL) Obviously you have to be careful. And if your transaction happens to be illegal, and you get ripped off, robbed etc, well, sadly I hope you've learned a lesson the hard way.
But I love Craigslist, and it would suck if it was removed.

Check out the list of TV shows he likes / watches.
Tell me that doesn't tell you something.
Wink, wink. Nudge, nudge.
Yeah, it tells me he is gay, and that he has a beautiful daughter. If we tried to arrest every guy that is trying to "get some" it would be a long line.
As far as being fired from Wegmans-he was arrested for doing something that shouldn't be a crime in the first place.
