'She's 14 and I think people are getting her in prostitution'

KVAL CBS 13

Just an article on craigslist child prostitution in Eugene, Oregon yet our good friend Jim Buckmaster still says that this is rare on craigslist.

If by rare he means 'all the time' then yes it is rare.

Craigslist hooker bust results in child molestation charges

Police in Columbus, Georgia arrested 4 in a craigslist hooker bust.

Those arrested were Cassandra Geotcha, 20, Brittnay N. Davis, 20, Tammy Baughman, 26, and...wait a minute the 4th person posing as a 21-year-old was actually a 15-year-old girl.

Child prostitution on craigslist? Who knew? Oh wait, I did.

Since the girl was 15 the trio have been charged with child molestation as well.

Yet, Jim Buckmaster still sleeps soundly at night while children are prostituted on his website.

Huntington Beach PD capture another craigslist predator

Bartender accused of soliciting 13-year-old:

Police in Huntington Beach, California have captured another alleged child predator on craigslist using the exact same tactic if not the exact same ad.

This time it was 27-year-old Gabriel Preto who responded to an ad where he thought he was going to pay for sex with a 13-year-old girl. And just like the last time the girl was in fact the Huntington Beach PD.

Hopefully the Huntington Bach police will keep taking dangerous craigslist predators like this off the streets.

Now if only the courts would keep them behind bars.

Oregon craigslist child prostitution ring busted and no one cares

Three charged with pimping underage girls on Craigslist:

In Oregon federal officials have charged Sharlise Michelle Duckworth, 27, Stanley Mack "Bug" Spriggs Jr. (pictured), 26, and Hollie Robin Spriggs, 27, all with child prostitution. The trio is accused of recruiting and pimping out underage girls on craigslist. The three are looking at 10 years to life.

Yet no cares that child prostitution is still going on unabated on craigslist. People are too concerned protectting the first amendment rights of craigslist.

Like I've said before if craigslist was the supposed socially conscious company they claim to be they would make damn sure that child prostitution did not take place on their site.

Craigslist child pimps plead guilty

Story points to potential social networking dangers:

I originally posted about Robert Harris and Richard Johnson here. They were half of a four man crew that were running a prostitution ring on craigslist  in Millersville, Maryland in order to buy ecstasy and gold teeth. Which I think in this context are pronounced 'teef'.

That crew was also prostituting out underage girls from Ohio.

Harris and Johnson have both pleaded guilty.

According to authorities Harris also tried to tamper with witnesses from behind bars.

The other half of the crew, Craig Allen Corey and Jacob Tyler, are still awaiting trial.

Harris and Johnson are still facing life behind bars.

However the fact that they got around craigslist's supposed screening but they used MySpace and YouTube as well. But for that part of the story you'll have to go here.

Craigslist masseuse sentenced for endangering daughter

Mom who advertised sex on web sentenced:

I originally posted about Aaron Hundersmarck here. He was the former Idaho prison guard who was sentenced to 1-15 years for fondling the 16-year-old daughter of his craigslist 'masseuse'.

Now that masseuse has also been sentenced. Rachele Bromley (pictured, yeesh) has been sentenced to 2-10 years for aiding and abetting sexual battery of a minor and inducing a minor under the age of 18 into prostitution. So it seems that she was trying to get her daughter into the family business.

Alleged human trafficker released to daddy's custody

Tea woman accused in sex traffic ring released to father:

I originally posted about Megan Hayes here. Along with her boyfriend, Brandon Quincy Thompson, the pair from Tea, South Dakota have been federally charged with pimping out underage girls on  the Village Voice Media owned classified site Backpage. The pair are looking at life sentences for their alleged acts.

So it kind of puzzles me why Hayes was released into the custody of her father in Davenport, Iowa.

Hayes has no prior criminal history, and her father, brother and a neighbor from Tea testified that Hayes was a shy, reliable person who prefers staying home with pets to leaving the house.

I'm sorry but shy and reliable people don't participate in child prostitution rings. I wouldn't be surprised if she bolted while out on release.

Feds bust major prostitution ring in Alaska

Feds seek 4th suspect in sex trafficking, prostitution ring:

The FBI, the IRS and the Anchorage, Alaska police department have busted a major prostitution and trafficking ring that has operated on craigslist since 2006.

Authorities have arrested Sabil Mumin Mujahid, Sidney Lamar Greene, and Rand Hooks while Keyana "Koko" Marshall (pictured) remains at large.

The quartet are accused of prostituting at least 50 women with at least 3 underage girls. They are also accused of identity theft and tax fraud because they would get the personal information of their victims and use it to file tax returns and collect the money. Sounds like a lot of victims in a victimless crime.

Not to mention the fact that this went on craigslist for 3 years with it never being flagged. Go figure.

9 indicted for child prostitution in San Diego

9 indicted on child sex trafficking charges in SD:

Nine people were indicted on federal charges of child sex trafficking in San Diego this past week. The nine are believed to have been part of a San Diego gang that prostituted three girls ages 15, 16 and 19 on craigslist. The alleged crimes took place between January and November of 2009.

Now when did craigslist supposedly change their site to prevent things like this from happening? That's right, it was May of 2009. It's working liking a charm. Oh wait, no it's not.

And again where was the so called user policing to flag these ads? Then again you can't believe that sucm who use child prostitutes would make the best policemen.

Backpage could not be reached for comment

Sex trafficking case heats up online-ads flap:

This article is a follw up about Brandon Quincy Thompson, 26, and his girlfriend Megan Marie Hayes, 30, of Tea, South Dakota who have been charged in federal court for sex trafficking on backpage. They pleaded not guilty in court this past week but that's not what I want to talk about.

The article details the 'changes' that craigslist has gone through and also details one Philip Markoff who the media dubbed the craigslist killer. However I want to share a few quotes with you.

Backpage.com, a site based in Scottsdale, Ariz., and owned by Village Voice media, has yet to implement such changes. The site has 1.7 to 2.2 million unique page views each month. Representatives of the company did not return calls for comment.

Free-speech advocates argue for self-policing, saying too many ads are posted to expect forum owners to monitor each one.

"The notion is that the soapbox shouldn't be held responsible for what the person on the soapbox says," said Matt Zimmerman, a lawyer with the San Francisco-based Electronic Frontier Foundation.

Just because the law protects them doesn't make it right. No matter what anybody says no one can tell me that craigslist and backpage aren't at least partially responsible for the child prostitution and human trafficking that takes place on their sites. After all they do provide sections on their sites dedicated to it. They're not called the human trafficking sections but they might as well be.

And all it would btake is to remove some code from their websites.
