I moved out (Sat afternoon) of a share with a guy who lives on Sunridge Drive Austin, TX 78741 (gated apt complex - Wickersham / Oltoff) – will not publish his name but this is enough information to know who he is when / if he emails you.
What happened to me:
He goes through the Housing Wanted and invites females to stay with him for free and or whatever "you" donate... than he tries to get you have sex with him. The first two nights he didn't try anything than he started calling me his girlfriend and "my wife". He would also try to get me to "watch tv" with him in his bed or would say "it is much too cold to spend it alone, you should sleep with me to keep me warm.
Than one morning he threw his arms around me in a bear hug and wouldn't let me go., When I finally pushed him away and told him never do that again he pointed to his dick and said "see what you do to me"? Several times he text messaged me and called me wanting to know where I was.
The last draw was when he called me up yesterday and demanded I leave my job and go back to his apt because he wanted me to drive him around the city and he would pay me. (his car was supposedly broken). We got into a heated argument over me being available whenever he demanded it which included a lot of insulting names to me. As soon as I was off work I moved out.
I'm posting what happened to me at the Couch Surfer groups to prevent this future rapist from doing this again. I don't want what did happen to me and what could have happened to me --- happen to anther women.

Re: Warning for females who use craig's List (Austin, TX)
Tue, January 29, 2008 - 8:28 AMHe vs she - Though I doubt he has the smarts to look at internet websites other than to prey on women the sad truth is that since it is a he vs she incedent without proof he can sue me.
I called the police and they said since nothing technicaly happened all they could do was give him an offical warning.
By posting his address (no apt number) anyone he contacts that has read this listing can be warned and I cant be sued. -

Re: Warning for females who use craig's List (Austin, TX)
Thu, February 21, 2008 - 6:51 PMBetter yet, or in addition, POST A WARNING ON THE AUSTIN CRAIGSLIST.
I'd think there are a lot more women in Austin who might be in danger from this guy, in addition to couch-surfers. Also, if he has a profile on the official couch-surf website (www.couchsurfing.org), let them know. They have a very good system for dealing with assholes like this. -

Re: Warning for females who use craig's List (Austin, TX)
Wed, January 30, 2008 - 8:56 AMI posted an ad in Housing Wanted for a temporary apt share
He emailed me and told me he can offer me his couch for a low rental price. On the phone and in person he seemed very nice and friendly. No bad mojo feelings. It was after I moved in (2 days later) that he started trying to get me to have sex with him and invading my space. I had given him the money for share until the first so I didn't have enough money to move out and into
a) a motel room
b) anther share
So I stayed until he flipped out (1 week later)
In case anyone actually is interested, I am moving into a safe and hopefully drama free apartment this weekend.

Fri, February 22, 2008 - 4:11 AMThat really sucks.
Still, why didnt you leave after the first few dozen warning alarms? The second things got creepy I would have been out of there. Why did you stick around? -
