BOSTON (Reuters) - Online classified site Craigslist will replace its "erotic services" ads with a new adult category following pressure by state authorities after the murder of a masseuse who advertised on the site.

The "erotic services" section will end within seven days and be replaced by an "adult services" category where advertisements will be individually screened by Craigslist staff, Craigslist said in a statement on Wednesday.

The measures could set a precedent for similar sites, said Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal, who led a 40-state task-force on Craigslist and campaigned publicly for tighter controls on the San Francisco-based service.

indeed they do, but the chances of you finding a prostitute, slim to none, the chances of a cop being the poster of the ad, real high, its pretty much a way to get free nudie pictures, that and the "casual encounters" section, thats a bunch of people that are looking for sex with no relationship...free porn FTW...lol
