Craigslist has tried in vain to remain neutral, but all the unfavorable attention the internet service, sales and personals message board has drawn because of illegal internet prostitution and "girlfriend experience" (GFE) ads may make it extremely hard for the law to allow them to operate in business-as-usual mode. Authorities have tried to crack down on this online sex trade, however as Bronx News accounts, such efforts are like trying to get rid of crabgrass. Witness probably the most recent case of an internet prostitution ring, piggybacking on Craigslist Albany. Twenty-five-year-old Ross Campbell, a previous utility worker, has been arrested for pimping out young women via the site. He faces up to 50 years in prison, accounts the Bronx News New York blog.
Craigslist Albany had crimes galore
The Bronx District Attorney Robert Johnson explained that sex trafficking, kidnapping, rape and other criminal offenses with two "young" victims were occurring through Queens resident Campbell's business on Craigslist Albany. This is one of the first online-related convictions under the 2007 New York Sex Trafficking statute, and the first in Bronx County. All of Ross Campbell’s Craigslist Albany crimes, conserve for promoting prostitution, are classified as Class B felonies, punishable by up to 25 years in jail for each offense. Thus, consecutive terms are possible, yet a combined term may occur.
The gossips about internet prostitution
A 19 year old female with a three year old went to the Bronx thinking that, since she had an intimate relationship with Campbell, she'd be residing with them, court docs say. Campbell's cousin rented an apartment, Daniel Ebron, where she had been moved to and told her child would be hurt or killed so she was then "forced to engage in prostitution". On Craigslist Albany, she wound up working as a prostitute. Eventually she got away with her son and ran.
Campbell allegedly kidnapped and raped 2 other victims, ages 18 and 19, at a later time.
