Woman Sues Match.Com For $10 Million: Mary Kay Beckman Sues After Wade Mitchell Ridley Stabbed Her 10 Times, Four Months After Being Dumped

Mary Kay Beckman is suing Match.com for $10 million after a man she met on the site tried to kill her. According to Courtroom News Service, the Las Vegas woman is claiming "negligently". Beckman, 49 filed the suit in Clark County, Nevada claiming that the site misled her saying that a relationship would lead to a, "stable and loving relationship with another member" the report says.

The woman signed up for the mate-seeking site on August 2010 and was matched with Wade Mitchell Ridley, 53, and officially met him on September 26, 2010. After their meeting, Beckman decided not to see Ridley again and 10 days later started receiving threatening messages from him.

According to the suit, four months later, Ridley snuck into her garage and stabbed her 10 times which resulted in several reconstructive surgery to repair her jaw, preserve her eyesight and replace part of her skull. Beckman claims Match.com failed to notify her that she would be potentially harmed if she met someone, "whose intentions are not to find a mate, but to find victims to kill or rape," the report says.

Ridley was charges and sentenced up to 70 years in prison, where he later died by committing suicide. Due to damages, Beckman is asking for $346,000 in economic damages, $5.4 million in noneconomic damages and $4.1 million in punitive damages.

According to CBS Las Vegas, Match.com released a statement saying, "What happened to Mary Kay Beckman is horrible, but this lawsuit is absurd. ... This is about a sick, twisted individual with no prior criminal record, not an entire community of men and women looking to meet each other."
