LOS ANGELES — Online dating site says it will begin screening users against the national sex offender registry.
The president of the singles site, Mandy Ginsberg, said Sunday that the company has avoided the move for years because of the unreliability of the database. Ginsberg said the checks “remain highly flawed” in finding dangerous sex offenders and that users should not have a false sense of security.
Last week, a California woman filed a lawsuit against the website, saying she was sexually assaulted by a man she met through and that the attack could have been prevented with a criminal background check.
