Sorry ladies: $1,000 offer for date withdrawn

After a six-month hiatus from social media, Werner took to Facebook and YouTube to promote a $1,000 offer to women “between the very legal ages of 16 and 25 whom does not already have children,” he wrote in a Facebook post at about 11 a.m. Wednesday. The post has since been shared hundreds of times and features about 600 comments, mostly from people making fun of the offer or linking him previous news articles.

He later withdrew the offer, however.

The legal age of consent in Washington is 16. Werner did not respond to several messages seeking comment.

The post asks for video proof of the women’s age, proof of residency in Spokane and a statement “declaring your feelings” about Werner. He also offers to take the women to Churchill’s Restaurant, a fine dining steakhouse downtown, for a steak dinner.  Full story. Jonathan Glover/SR
