“Three online dating giants agreed to screen for sex offenders and take other safety steps after a woman was assaulted on a date, the California attorney general’s office announced Tuesday.

The statement was prompted by the 2010 sexual assault of a Los Angeles-area woman by a man she met through Match.com, Gledhill said. Alan Wurtzel had a string of previous convictions for sexual battery.

The woman sued Match.com, seeking a court order requiring the website to check applicants’ backgrounds to weed out convicted sex offenders. She dropped the suit last year after the site provided proof of such screening.”
