This sounds kind of outrageous, I hope it's not true. Source?

Just make a note that if any members are contacted by members like that to send you a message to let you know and also report them to their local authorities as well.

As long as you make it clear that member should report such behavior I don't think you should be held liable.

You may want to install the Read PMs mod [and make a note in your rules/ToS/privacy policy that you monitor these]. Also a "Report Abuse" button that's fairly visible would be good. However I can't see how you can be liable for that sort of thing happening.

yea that is total BS. they tried to get some other sites like that including adultfriendfinder and sexsearch and the judge said it didn't work.

In the sex search thing, the girl signed up for a membership and claimed that she was 18 and she was really like 15 or something and so a guy found her on the site, they met and had sex and he got arrested when the parents reported them.

The guy sued sexsearch claiming that they provided a false sense of security in displaying that she was 18 and that it was thier responsability to verify the ages of its members.

The judge said that was stupid and dismissed the case

One of my favorite quotes from the movie Thank You For Smoking:

Kid #3: My Mommy says smoking kills.
Nick Naylor: Oh, is your Mommy a doctor?
Kid #3: No.
Nick Naylor: A scientific researcher of some kind?
Kid #3: No.
Nick Naylor: Well then she's hardly a credible expert, is she?
