VC emails founder he just met: “I’m Not Leaving Without Having Sex With You”

For those who say sexual harassment topic is overblown, I give you turd #92785: Pavel Curda.  He emailed the following to 3 female founders he just met at startup event in Berlin: “I’m Not Leaving Without Having Sex With You. Deal?”.  Oh and he added a link to his About.me profile, in case they weren’t impressed enough.  Best of all, after shit hits the fan and screenshots were printed, he refused to respond to journalists’ calls but goes on Twitter to say his email was hacked. Because y’know, a hacker would access not only about past emails but future events then send fake messages in realtime right?

Why send an email like that? It's fishy. Anyone sending that type of email would be a complete idiot.

He admitted it to TechCrunch and provided an apology - not that it matters - just painting the full picture.

As for whether its overblown or not - this is not example #92785. This is documented example #1.
