Craigslist Discontinues Erotic Services Advertisements

By

Craigslist, the online classified site said Wednesday it will drop its controversial “erotic services” category in response to law enforcers who said the ads were a front for prostitution. The old category will be replaced with one listing “adult services,” and a fee will be charged, the company said.

The current controversy over the “erotic services” section of Craigslist was kicked-off by an incident in Boston where a man is alleged to have used the section to meet women, one of whom was abducted and one of whom was murdered.
