The Dark Side Of Craigslist

Shirtless Christopher Lee

Republican representative Christopher Lee of New York resigned from his position in 2011 after gawker.com released the story of his scandalous Craigslist encounter. Lee had allegedly met a woman through Craigslist after she responded to his ad where he lied about being a 39-year-old divorced lobbyist (Lee was 46 at the time).

Lee and the woman began exchanging emails and he even sent her a shirtless photo of himself, in which he is flexing his arms and chest. After receiving the photo, the woman searched up Lee on the Internet and discovered his true identity—and the fact that he was married with a young child.
