Phoenix Escorts: IN SURPRISE MOVE CRAIGSLIST BLOWS OUT ITS ADULT SERVICES LISTING Move follows …
Posted by: phoenixhobbyist in Phoenix escortsFor years the adult services section of the website has been a thorn in the side of law enforcement as it is widely alleged by police that prostitutes and those involved in prostitution rings – sometimes using underage girls as sex slaves – use the adults services section to openly advertise for “Johns”e.g., customers.
Craigslist originally had an “Erotic Services” section, but shut it down in May of last year in response to pressure from law enforcement.
The company had previously tried to ward off criticism by verifying listings over the phone and working with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, but has since decided that having a section of the site that had been, for the most part, taken over by the illegal sex trade was not in its best interests.
In an August 24th letter, the state attorneys general said Craigslist should remove the section because it couldn’t adequately block potentially illegal ads promoting prostitution and child trafficking.
