Kelly Osbourne: not sponsored by Match.Com
Kelly Osbourne doesn't approve of people finding partners online:
"I'd never go on one of those online dating sites. It's weird. It's full of sexual predators. The Internet was created for knowledge and now it's perverted."
What a spanner-like intellect she has. Presumably Osbourne would rather everyone find partners in a traditional manner - being introduced by your mother at the VIP area at a second-string indie band's album launch party, but not everyone has that luxury. To suggest that anyone who might use online dating is a sexual predator is not only indicative of an intellect that would struggle with the Daily Express, but also incredibly insulting to people who do use such services and who, almost entirely, aren't actually sexual predators at all.

That's Kelly Osbourne, the new host of 'Sunday Surgery', responsible for offering advice to young people and part of Radio 1's new teen-oriented social-networking-savvy technology-embracing 'Switch' strand. Presumably they chose her for the job because Judge Pickles struggled to pronounce 'Jack Penate' in the auditions?
Speaking from experience (although not of my own inbox, sadly), yes there are 'sexual predators' on dating sites, if by 'sexual predator' you mean the sort of sad person who sends their phone number to every profile within a 50-mile radius and hopes for the best. In much the same way that there are, and always have been, people in real life who'll try to chat up everyone they meet. The only difference is that real life doesn't have the convenience of an 'Ignore' button.
Unfortunately neither do tinpot rent-a-mouth 'presenters'.
You appear to have missed a bit of Osbourne's quote... In full it was "It's weird. It's full of sexual predators. And despite that, I've been signed up for two years now without finding anyone so depraved they'd sleep with me"
