Ex-Pharmacist Wanted For Craigslist Sex Ad Revenge
Former CVS Employee Accused Of Posting Fake Sex Listing For Customer Who Complained About Him
NORWALK, Conn. (CBS) ―
A former CVS pharmacist is accused of stealing patient information and using it to post a fake sex ad on Craigslist. CBS 2 HD spoke exclusively with the alleged victim.
The alleged victim has asked CBS 2 HD to keep her identity hidden. She said that last summer at a CVS in Norwalk, she went to pick up some medicine, and wound up getting an even larger dose of anxiety after she told a pharmacist she was going to file a complaint for bad service.
"He was acting strange, had this peculiar look on his face," she tells CBS 2.
The very next morning, she says her phone began to ring.
"Around 7 o'clock I started receiving phone calls. Men calling, looking for a good time. And I said, 'You got the wrong number.' I hung up the phone, got another call, another call," she says.
She says several men even came to her door looking for sex.
Finally, one of the callers told her about a "sex partner wanted" ad on Craigslist. The ad listed her name, phone number, and address. She immediately suspected the pharmacist, believing he placed the ad using her personal information from the CVS computer to exact revenge for her complaint.
"It was an invasion of my privacy, it really was," she says.
After investigating for months, Norwalk Police finally have confirmed the victim's original suspicion. They've filed harassment and computer crimes charges against the pharmacist, 38-year-old Jonathan Medina, who is now a wanted man after fleeing to Connecticut and moving, perhaps to Washington State.
The alleged victim says the recent case of Philip Markoff, the so-called "Craigslist Killer," brought a fresh bout of anxiety. She remembered those men who came to her door after her address was posted in the Craigslist sex ad section.
"I really felt a chill and I was like, this could have been me," she says.
The victim says she's still anxious for the arrest of Medina. In the meantime, CVS says the pharmacist stopped working for the company last fall, and just today, Craigslist said it would fight crime and fraud by manually checking ads for sex services on its site.
