Three teenagers were raped by men posing as teens using Skout in the last two weeks.

Skout uses your location and sends it out across the Internet in order to flirt with other people.

Skout CEO Christian Wiklund told The New York Times that “I’m disgusted by what’s happened here.”

The app will now ban minors from using its service.

Facebook recently announced that they were exploring options to provide a restricted version of their service for children under 13.
