Boston Escorts: Craigslist sex bust sparks worry

Craigslist hooker bust in the same Hub hotel where police say cyber-trolling accused killer Philip Markoff tied up a Las Vegas call girl has raised new fears the Web site’s seedy side remains a hunting ground for predators and their deadly tricks.

Anderson was arrested on prostitution charges and cops seized a laptop and $3,100 cash from her. She was released on $1,000 bail after her arraignment Thursday and is due back in Boston Municipal Court on Feb. 11, a Conley spokeswoman said.

The new bust reignites the controversy surrounding Craigslist, which pledged to crack down on prostitution ads in the wake of Brisman’s slaying. Responding to heated criticism from law enforcement nationwide, the Web site implemented new guidelines that required payment for adult postings, as well as strict monitoring to weed out prostitution or other illegal sex solicitations. A Craigslist spokeswoman did not respond to requests for comment.
