Erotic Services shut down worldwide on craigslist

December 18, 2010 in Craigslist, Prostitution/Human Trafficking by Trench Reynolds | 10 comments

Craigslist Shuts Down International “Adult Services” Sections:

It seems I spoke a little too soon. It seems that craigslist has in fact pulled erotic services for all its sites worldwide.

I personally went to the London, Sydney and Paris craiogslist sites and just like Canada erotic services is gone.

But again casual encounters still remains.

This should put immense heat on sites like the Village Voice Media owned backpage.com into taking similar steps.

Good classifieds sites like Geebo.com never had those sections to begin with but you knew that already.

Craigslist removes erotic services in Canada

December 18, 2010 in Craigslist, Prostitution/Human Trafficking by Trench Reynolds | No comments

Craigslist removes erotic services ads:

It seems that with no fanfare or press conferences that craigslist has removed its erotic services section from its Canadian websites.

I went to the Toronto version of craigslist since T.O. supposedly has a big trafficking problem and sure enough not only is erotic services gone but so is the adult gigs section. Casual encounters is still there though so Canadians can still look for children to buy for sex on that section of the site but I digress.

3 countries down* and only 100+ more to go. Hopefully craigslist sees that human trafficking and prostitution in all forms is a global problem and will do this worldwide.

Personally I’d rather use a site that never considered an erotic services section like Geebo.com.

14-year-old BC girl recruited others for craigslist sex ring

November 21, 2010 in Craigslist, Prostitution/Human Trafficking by Trench Reynolds | 1 comment

Teen sold sex, recruited others on Craigslist: RCMP:

Back when I was in high school in the early to mid 80s all parents had to mostly worry about their daughters was if they came home drunk or the occasional pregnancy. What they did not have to worry about is if one of their classmates would recruit them in a craigslist prostitution ring.

That’s exactly what happened in one Chilliwack, British Columbia high school according to the RCMP. They say that a 14-year-old girl advertised herself on the erotic services section of craigslist as a prostitute. A client, 51-year-old David Thomas Hilpert, was also arrested. The RCMP thinks that the girl may have even recruited two other young girls to sell themselves for sex on craigslist and they’re might be others.

The Canadian government has just had the best reason for erotic services to be shut down fall squarely in their lap. Let’s see how craigslist reacts to this.

Erotic services removed from Singapore craigslist

November 15, 2010 in Craigslist, Prostitution/Human Trafficking by Trench Reynolds | No comments

Sex ads removed from Craigslist Singapore:

Craigslist has removed the erotic services section in Singapore after being asked to do so by the Media Development Authority of Singapore which as far as I can tell is some kind of government media watchdog group (read: censor).

Now while I’m happy that erotic services is gone from the Singapore craigslist it doesn’t mean all that much when prostitution is legal in Singapore and that its record on human trafficking is not exactly stellar.

Plus if you go to the Singapore craigslist casual encounters and adult gigs still remain. So basically this was a victory for no one who matters.

Ontario wants erotic services shut down now

November 11, 2010 in Craigslist, Prostitution/Human Trafficking by Trench Reynolds | No comments

Ontario tells Craigslist to axe prostitution ads now:

Two weeks after craigslist shut down the adult services section in the U.S. the provincial government of Ontario sent a letter to craigslist asking for them to do the same in their province. Craigslist responded by asking for a meeting with government officials. The Ontario government doesn’t want a meeting. They want erotic services gone and they want it gone yesterday.

“You have recently expressed an interest in meeting with us, but have not yet taken any steps to implement any such protections in Canada,” Bentley wrote to Craigslist CEO Jim Buckmaster.

“The urgency to protect Ontario’s most vulnerable citizens cannot hinge on a meeting, and we expect you to begin removing this content without delay.”

Craigslist, as usual, is up to their old tricks. There was no response from them to the Canadian media. Didn’t they learn from what happened here in the U.S.? Yet they are still pussy footing around with governments trying to avoid removing the ads that exploit women and children all across Canada.

How does that saying got about those who forget the past?

Alberta calls for craigslist crackdown

October 31, 2010 in Craigslist, Prostitution/Human Trafficking by Trench Reynolds | No comments

Previously I posted about how the Canadian Provinces of Ottawa and Manitoba have called for the removal of the erotic services section of craigslist in their provinces. Now the province of Alberta has also joined in the crusade. Those within the provincial government have called erotic services a “thinly veiled cover for human trafficking.”

Some have criticized Alberta for taking too long to join in the fight but the same could be said for just about any government. By my calculations the erotic services section has been around for 10 years. Why no government decided to step in until last year is beyond me but you all took too long. I’m grateful that steps are being taken to curb the tide of human trafficking online but this could have been done so much sooner and that especially includes the U.S.

Provincial governments asking craigslist to shut down erotic services

October 17, 2010 in Craigslist, Prostitution/Human Trafficking by Trench Reynolds | No comments

The governments of Canadian provinces Ottawa and Manitoba have called upon craigslist to shutdown the erotic services section much like they have in the U.S.

This is along the same lines of when the different US States Attorneys General battled craigslist to shutdown the erotic/adult services section. With the US Attorneys General craigslist pussyfooted around for years implementing ‘guidelines’ for erotic services that were mainly for show. That makes me wonder if craigslist will play the same games with the Canadian MPs or will they just remove erotic services altogether? I get the feeling that craigslist will still play games.

As I’ve mentioned before craigslist’s erotic services section is alive and well in other countries and have undergone no changes like it has in the U.S. Hopefully this is a beginning for other countries to wake up to the fact that people are being trafficked in sexual slavery on craigslist.

Geebo.com. Never trafficked. Never will.

Philly man admits to slashing throat of craigslist escort

September 29, 2010 in Craigslist, Predators by Trench Reynolds | No comments

Joseph C. Vignola Jr.

Joseph Vignola Jr. admits attacking woman he met on Craigslist:

Angry looking little bastard isn’t he?

Anyway this is one of those stories that I don’t know how the hell I missed it when it happened. Back in 2008 Philadelphia police arrested Joseph C. Vignola Jr. for slashing the throat of an 18-year-old woman that he ‘met’ on the then erotic services section of craigslist.

The pair met at a hotel where they had sex then argued about something (money?) and Vignola punched her in the throat, sat on top of her until she passed out then slit her throat. And in true GTA style he took the money that he gave her.

To make matters worse Vignola tried blaming the assault on a ‘light skinned black man’ that supposedly broke in while they were having sex.

Last week the now 21-year-old son of a former Philly city councilman pleaded guilty to the brutal assault. He’s looking at 30 years but his equally slimy lawyer is trying to get him 4 1/2-7.

Vignola should be touted as the poster boy of the kind of scum that used to troll the erotic services and adult services section and that probably still trolls the casual encounters section and currently trolling the erotic services sections outside the US. A guy like this is also probably trolling the adult sections of backpage as well.

No monitoring means the inmates are running the asylum and this guy is the prototype.

RCMP wants craigslist to remove erotic services

September 7, 2010 in Craigslist, Prostitution/Human Trafficking by Trench Reynolds | 1 comment

RCMP wants Craigslist to block erotic ads in Canada:

While craigslist is in day 4 of its self imposed ‘censorship’ the Royal Canadian Mounted Police are pressuring craigslist to remove the erotic services section in Canada. As I’ve mentioned before while craigslist has gone from erotic services to adult services to the infamous black bar erotic services is still alive and kicking all over the world outside of the U.S.

How does the saying go? Think globally but act locally? Now is the time to really put that notion to use in order to try and stop child prostitution and human trafficking all over the world.

Again if you want to use a classifieds site that doesn’t dabble in human trafficking I recommend Geebo.com.

T-Shirt Winner will be announced tomorrow.
