Man's Crazy Ex Impersonates New Girlfriend, Posts Sex Ad on Craigslist
Authorities in Texas this week arrested 38-year-old Samantha Weber and charged her with felony online impersonation after she alleged posted an ad on Craigslist soliciting sex from strangers on behalf of her ex-boyfriend's new girlfriend.
Heather McCarthy initially contacted police to complain that unknown men had been arriving at her Cypress home and requesting that she perform sex acts on them.
When one of the men was confronted by the victim's boyfriend, he reportedly claimed he was led to the house by a Craigslist ad.
An investigation by Harris County officials traced the ad through an IP address back to Weber, who initially denied any connection.
A search warrant allowed investigators to look through Weber's email inbox, where they found correspondences with several men responding to the Craigslist ad.
Investigators concluded that Weber was jealous over her ex-boyfriend's new relationship, and was seeking retribution.
