Authorities charge 7 women for soliciting sex on Craigslist:
Police in Lenoir County, NC were recently tipped off to craigslist prostitution in their area. They did what any responsible police department would do, they set up a craigslist hooker sting.
In the process of the sting they arrested 7 hookers, a john and a driver for those of you keeping score at home.
The reporter who wrote the article actually got a response from craigslist’s mouthpiece but it wasn’t much of a response.
“Misuse of craigslist for illegal purposes is unacceptable. The incidence of crime on craigslist is actually very low, considering the tens of millions of ads that are posted each month, and together with craigslist users and law enforcement we are working continually to eliminate it.

And again I have to say that if they really wanted to eliminate crime on craigslist they would remove the erotic services section completely so basically craigslist is just paying lip service to the media.
