Man Arrested for Posting Orgy Ad on Craigslist

HARTFORD, Conn. -- A Connecticut man has been sentenced to probation for posting a bogus ad about an orgy at the house of a neighbor with whom he had been feuding.

Court records show 44-year-old Philip Conran pleaded guilty to risk of injury to a child last week in Hartford Superior Court.

He has been sentenced to three years of probation and 200 hours of community service. He also has been ordered to pay for the West Hartford neighbor's house alarm system.

Police say Conran posted the Craigslist ad in April 2010 and that several strangers knocked on the neighbor's door. One man went to the wrong home, groped a teenage girl and was arrested.

Conran's attorney, Michael Georgetti, says his client regrets his actions

There's getting revenge on your neighbor, and then there's getting revenge on your neighbor by posting an ad on Craigslist for an orgy at your neighbor's house. Guy is like a criminal/revenge mastermind. I used to think my grandpa was the king of revenge against his neighbor. He used to start his lawnmower every night at 3 AM and just cut his side yard right next to his neighbor's bedroom window over and over all because his neighbor took his newspaper one time. (That's a true story. You can't pull that shit on WWII vets, they don't fuck around) I can't imagine what Conran's neighbor did in order to entice the Craigslist killer over to his house for a little bit of group sex. Had to be pretty damn brutal.
