Nothing better to do in Chicago.

Craigslist to be sued for sex ads
Sheriff calls the popular classifieds site the largest source of prostitution in the U.S.

CHICAGO -- The sheriff's department for Chicago's Cook County says it's suing Craigslist, calling the popular online classifieds site the largest source of prostitution in the United States.

Sheriff Tom Dart plans a news conference later today.


A call for comment before business hours to Craigslist's public relations firm was not immediately returned.

Craigslist has come under fire in recent months for the "erotic services" ads posted on its site. Several people have been arrested on prostitution charges after posting the ads online.

In November, Craigslist pledged to crack down on prostitution ads as part of an agreement with several attorneys general.

CL is working fine in WNY right now.....all the gals there are posting away.

However ASPD a big site similar to TERB here in the USA is still down. ASPD was 'hacked' BIGTIME in the beginning of February and has been down since then.

lol ASPD was probably not backed up... It would take only a few hrs for a site to be back up and running if proper backup procedures were taken, regardless of how it was hacked

Illegal to communicate in a public place or be in a bawdy house but if its just the two of you over the phone and then in apartment no foul.

You are fortunate enough not to have an over active bunch of wacked out frothing at the mouth bible thumpers trying to shutdown these web sites, along with SCs, MPs, CL, Escort agencies, like us Yanks down here in the US....:eek:
