Craigslist used in BWI prostitution arrests:
Anne Arundel County Police in Maryland have arrested 4 prostitutes in a sting operation near the Baltimore/Washington Int’l Airport that advertised on craigslist.
Those arrested were Catherine J. Chrysler, 24, of Lisle, N.Y.; Kristina Lee Jenkins, 23, of Laurel; Bridgett Lee Robinson, 23, of Lothian; and Candace Laine Conn, 22, of Baltimore.
As usual craigslist was not responsive to media requests…
Officials with Craigslist.org could not be reached for comment, and a spokeswoman for the company did not return messages.
And again for those of you who think police are wasting their time on prostitution…
Law enforcement officials said they pursue online prostitution because the industry can be connected to other crimes, such as drug trafficking.
Police also will prioritize and focus on instances where they believe minors are being used in the online sex trade, said Detective Thomas Stack, who works in the vice section for the Montgomery County Department of Police.
