The Illicit List: Crime and Craigslist

Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster is trying to salt the Internet soil and stop these crimes at their online roots: He's trying to get Craigslist to entirely eliminate sex ads from its Erotic Services section. Koster has convinced Craigslist representatives to meet with him and with Connecticut and Illinois's Attorneys General in New York to discuss these problems.

Meanwhile, Tom Dart, sheriff of Cook County, Ill., is suing the website for promoting prostitution and has asked a federal judge to shut down Erotic Services.
