Wichita Craigslist rapist gets 30 years:

David Lee Gage of Wichita, Kansas was sentenced to 29 years for raping craigslist prostitutes. Gage would arrange a meeting with the prostitutes over craigslist. Then when he would meet them at a motel he would flash a fake U.S. Marshal’s badge then threaten them with prosecution if they didn’t have sex with him. Gage had a prior arrest for almost the exact same thing back in 1998.

Commenting on the sentencing craigslist CEO Jim Buckmaster was his usual tactful self…

Jim Buckmaster, CEO of the San Francisco-based online classified service, expressed sympathy for the victims Thursday while noting that Gage had committed a similar crime a decade earlier, “long before Craigslist came to Wichita.”

Classy. Women have been raped and Jimmy just has to try to deflect blame from craigslist. I somehow doubt his claimed sympathy for the victims.
