The last thing she remembers is downing a martini, followed quickly by a bloody Mary, both delivered by the MySpace stranger whom she had agreed to meet at the Corner Bar in Birmingham.
The next thing she knew, 31-year-old Bloomfield Township, Michigan woman was in bed with a man she met on the Internet.
Once she realized what was happening, she claims she repeatedly told her attacker “no”, to no avail. When it was over, he got ready for work and drove her to her car.
The alleged rapist, one Jason Tucker, of Rochester Hills, is a 35-year-old real estate agent who also owns a tech business and has no police record. Tucker’s being held on $1 million bond.
We may never know what really happened but one things for sure, anyone who meets with someone from MySpace might as well meet a stranger in a dark alley.

Thanks for investigating this crime and telling us who the culprit was: it was that Web site. I don’t believe there’s ever been a rape without MySpace being involved.
It wasn’t the alcohol that lowered that lady’s inhibitions. It wasn’t that stranger that forced himself on her, which is horrible. It was MySpace that was responsible.
MySpace equals rape, just as videogames force children to kill others.
Again, thank you for your nice, broad brush strokes.

Hi Chris.
Videogames are to killers as MySpace is to victims? [Host erases nasty comment about SAT scores] Sorry, Chris. Your brush missed the canvas.
People who share too much personal information and contact in unpoliced locations leave themselves open to getting hurt.
From a security perspective, MySpace is among the Internet’s dark alleys… especially for the naive.

that is really foolish reporting. Maybe not so foolish if you want to get people to read what you write and are short on ideas.
Nobody wants anyone ot be hurt anywhere but myspace has over 100 people who use it to connect with friends, discover music and enhance thier lives. that is like some getting sexually assaulted in Los Angeles and saying the western half of the united states is unsafe.
99.9999999% of the experiences on Myspace are positive, THAT IS WHY IT IS POPULAR.
I spell myspace ACCESS or BELONGING or DISCOVERY.

Hi Anthony.
Fascinating.
I spell MySpace “MILLIONS OF BREATHTAKINGLY NAIVE FOOLS SPILLING DETAILS OF THEIR PRIVATE LIVES FOR PREDATORS AND BOTH GOVERNMENT AND CORPORATION INFORMATION STITCHERS.”
But that may be because I understand how your personal details can be used to your disadvantage, and the types of people who use them… But that’s just me.
