Woman Wins Suit Against Dating Service

THE NATION | IN BRIEF / MARYLAND

November 20, 2004|From Times Wire Reports

A federal jury in Baltimore awarded as much as $434,000 to a Ukrainian woman who sued the Internet service that set her up with the man who allegedly abused her after they wed.

Nataliya Fox accused Encounters International of fraud and negligence, saying it should have screened its male clients and told her about a law that helped foreign nationals escape abusive relationships without automatic deportation.

Instead, Fox testified, agency owner Natasha Spivack told her to endure the alleged abuse or return to Ukraine.
