			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It looks like our discriminatory Rockville car repair company got the message that their <a href="http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/blogs/sexist/2010/02/09/maryland-employer-seeks-office-assistant-who-is-confident-with-her-sexuality/">job ad in search of a hot female employee</a> didn't exactly jibe with Montgomery County employment laws. The company has removed its Craigslist ad specifying an "attractive" "gal" who is "confident with her sexuality," and replaced it with this sanitized version that ditches the physical requirements, employs gender-neutral pronouns, and does not specify any headshot requirements:</p>
<p><span id="more-8791"></span></p>
<blockquote><p>High Volume Automotive Repair Facilty, is in need of a mature, detail oriented individual with above average computer skills to help out with our front office operations. Must be able to multi-task and be able to handle a large volume of telephone calls on a regular basis. Knowledge of the Automotive business is a plus but not essential to performing the functions of this position, However a good sense of humor is, as well as a positive can do attitude. This job involves answering phones, invoicing, preparing service orders, adjusting inventory counts, scheduling and much more. The ideal person for this job will be able to think fast on his or her feet and be willing to do what ever is required of them in this type of position. Must be able to meet the attendance requirements of M-F 9am to 6pm have reliable transportation and be able to make a good presentation to my customers. Additionally the ideal candidate will have a customer service background and be able to pass a pre-employment background screening. If you feel you have the right personality and the unique set of skills for this position then we want to hear from you. Please submit resume and references. Compensation based on qualifications.<!&#8211; START CLTAGS &#8211;></p></blockquote>
<p>Now, all qualified Maryland job-seekers can apply for this position in peace, knowing that their potential employer only <em>secretly</em> wishes you were a hot, sexy lady who he could repeatedly refer to as "gal."</p>
<p>Unfortunately, expecting that your employer comply with anti-discrimination laws comes with a price. The ad originally advertised an hourly rate of $13.75 to $16.85 an hour; now, potential employees are looking at $10 to $16.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>According to the <em>Maryland Gazette</em>, "at least" 18 men have been arrested through the state's undercover sex operation this year. The operation follows the typical "To Catch A Predator" model: "The men contacted Montgomery County Police officers posing as a 16-year-old high school sophomore on Craigslist.com, negotiated how much they would pay for specific sexual services and set up meetings in the Gaithersburg area, where they were arrested upon arrival."</p>
<p>All this sex sting lacked was <strong>Chris Hansen</strong> hiding in a closet&#8212;who apparently has quite a following among underage prostitution enthusiasts!</p>
<blockquote><p>Several men asked the girl if she was working for police, according to the documents, and a few said that they did not want to end up on Dateline's "To Catch A Predator" television series.</p></blockquote>
<p>They didn't end up on "To Catch a Predator." But the <em>Gazette</em> has stepped in to assume Hansen's role of disseminating all the johns' life-ruining details to the public. No cookies and lemonade, either:</p>
<p><span id="more-5875"></span></p>
<p>* "Montgomery County firefighter Wayne A. Mothershead, 44, of Taneytown responded to the ad using his work e-mail and arranged to meet for sex in his truck outside the Bohrer Park Activity Center in Gaithersburg on July 20, according to the documents."</p>
<p>* Mothershead's attorney chimed in with the classic excuse:  "attorney Rebecca Nitkin add[ed] that the girl in the photographs viewed by the men appeared older than 16."</p>
<p>* "A Wheaton man, who was instructed to meet the girl near Gaithersburg High School, admitted to having a semiautomatic handgun in his trunk and was also charged with carrying a deadly weapon on school property and transporting a handgun, according to the documents."</p>
<p>* "Benjamin R. Cary, a personal trainer at the Jewish Community Center of Greater Washington in Rockville for 10 years, was arrested March 25, according to the documents. He told police he was 'trying to stop a girl from doing something bad' but later said 'I will do whatever you want me to do, pay a fine go to class … just don't tell my wife,' according to the documents."</p>
<p>* "Barry M. Lebowitz, a married optometrist at Potomac Eye Care in Gaithersburg, was charged with soliciting a minor on April 9, according to the documents. When the girl said she was too young to rent a hotel room, Lebowitz, 46, wrote, 'this might get expensive … any discount if i get hotel?,' according to the documents."</p>
<p><strong>UPDATE: </strong>Today, the Gazette issued an update and correction to its story on the prostitution sting. You can read it <a href="http://www.gazette.net/stories/08122009/gaitnew211337_32529.shtml">here</a>.</p>
