A Texas woman is suing her ex-husband after he placed a Craigslist ad encouraging strangers to take "advantage of her." The woman, who is only being identified as Jane Doe, is seeking $1 million in damages for emotional distress after her ex-husband Bobby Wayne Moore posted her number and stalked her online.
Moore posted the ad in March 2014 and was charged with online harassment. In January, he was sentenced to 36 months probation and fined $300. Now, the woman is suing him in a civil court after receiving creepy messages from strangers asking if she is interested in sex with them. One lawyer said, "It's a chilling thought that someone could be so sick and vindictive."
According to the suit filed in Tarrant County, Moore's post included her cell phone number along with a photo of another woman. The ad said she "wanted multiple strangers to come to her 'home' and take sexual 'advantage of her.'" At the time, the woman was living in Colleyville with her two children, one of whom was Moore's preschool aged daughter. Moore also allegedly stalked his ex-wife and sent her hundreds of threatening texts and emails. The woman sued for damages including pain and suffering, mental anguish, medical bills for therapy and loss of earning capacity due to fear and emotional distress. I have to admit this is some pretty scary stuff to do to someone. I remember a few years ago, I'm not sure if someone was pulling a prank on me or what, but they posted on Craigslist: "Free riding mower" in my region with my phone number attached to it. My phone rang for days asking about this free riding mower. It got to the point where I would pick up the phone and said, "There is no damn riding mower!" My experience wasn't even close because no one was asking me for sex, although, my story might have been different if they were. The point is that it's pretty scary stuff when people place your phone number on a public forum out of revenge.
