Craigslist has agreed to help law enforcement authorities in 40 states crack down on online advertisement of prostitution services. Such ads have occurred with regularity on the site, and a number have resulted in robbery or other victimization of persons responding to them, aside from the obvious exploitation of "legitimate" prostitutes advertising their wares. A Plymouth, MN man was shot repeatedly by the male accomplice of a woman who came to the victim's home after he responded to an escort ad.
