Personal advertising website Craigslist has come under fire since 2007 when it was noted that prostitutes were using the site to advertise their services under the heading of "erotic services."
In May 2009, a call girl service called Room Service Entertainment, with seven employees and two co-owners, was indicted in Queens County Court in New York. The operation posted services under the Craigslist "erotic services" section.Daily News: Queens Craigslist Call Girl Ring Busted (May 20, 2009)
