A federal court Wednesday agreed with defending attorneys and dismissed claims against SexSearch and other adult companies in a case that underscored the inherent risks to social networking and dating sites that allow users to post their own content.
The case, filed in Toledo, Ohio, centered around an adult male who said he was tricked into believing that a minor he met on SexSearch was in fact over the age 18 because she posted information that stated such and that the online company represented to him that it verifies the age of all members who use their site.
