Police: Prostitution sting nets man with illegal gun
…
Arahovites said the Police Department’s street crimes unit, or what he referred to as the X-ray team, set up a prostitution sting in the area of Vine, White and Winter streets on Friday night. The area is just north of downtown and is known throughout Greater Haverhill as a place where sex is available for a fee.
…
Arahovites said the street crimes unit is a group of officers, who, during their normal working shifts, are often brought together to target a specific problem such as alcohol violations, cars with expired registrations, teens partying in the woods, prostitution, and other issues that might crop up in a particular area of the city.
He said they have made an impact this year on prostitution, which is decreasing. He said each sting results in fewer arrests and that the men who want to come to Haverhill to purchase sex are getting the word that they will be arrested if caught.

Manchin easily won the Democratic nomination Saturday. Raese defeated a crowded field of Republicans and becomes part of the GOP quest to dismantle the Democratic Senate majority as high unemployment and the slow economic recovery threaten their political prospects this fall.
In Louisiana, scandal-tainted US Senator David Vitter, a Republican, easily beat two little-known challengers and will meet Democratic Representative Charlie Melancon, who won his party’s primary, in November.
Vitter survived a 2007 prostitution scandal after he admitted an unspecified “serious sin’’ after his phone number appeared in the records of a Washington prostitution ring. He has also shrugged off questions about his judgment in allowing an aide to remain on his staff for more than two years after a violent attack on a woman police identified as his former girlfriend.

When anyone reported Perroncel’s denials of relationships with anyone other than Bridge — which occasionally, they did — those anonymous sources piped up. “To say she’s a Chelsea girl is a bit of an understatement. By the time she got to John Terry, she’d achieved her own five-a-side football team,” said one particular unidentified “close friend”, choosing to speak in a tabloid-ready soundbite.
“A prostitute. Gold-digger. Slut,” Perroncel says, wearily. It’s now early August, more than six months since the scandal first broke and a couple of days before news of Peter Crouch’s alleged sexual transgressions makes the front pages, ensuring the Terry scandal is invoked once again. “There was a joke going round. It was, ‘What does Vanessa Perroncel say after sex?’” A bitter pause, before the punchline. “‘So do you all play for the same team?’” she laughs, angrily.

Law enforcement and several state attorneys general are demanding greater scrutiny of craigslist, the popular network of online communities, alleging illegal activity – from prostitution and scams – is found on the site. One such example of a craigslist victim occurred in Belmont.
On Aug. 25 at 4:36 p.m., a distraught Somerville man came to the Belmont Police station to report that he was a victim of a confidence scheme. The man said he responded to a help wanted ad on craigslist from a firm seeking a secret shopper. The man said he was sent a check for $3,300 and told, as part of his new “job,” to cash it at his local bank and send the $3,000 balance to a West Virginia address via Western Union, keeping the remaining $300 as his fee. Soon afterwards, his bank branch located in Belmont informed him that the check was no good and his account was now overdrawn by more than $3,000. The Somerville man told police he was about to cash a second $3,500 check sent to him by the same “firm.” He gave police a copy of the checks and the internet address of his now factious employer.

… There’s no shortage of criminal cases arising out of Craigslist ads, and there are plenty of violent offenses like this one among them,” Daniel Conley said. “It shouldn’t surprise anyone that a platform for prostitution also serves up armed robberies.”
Hilary Holden, 28, of Revere and James Austin, 22, of Dorchester were in Chelsea District Court on Thursday to face charges stemming from the alleged July 23 armed robbery of a man they are accused of luring to a Revere parking lot through a Craigslist ad.
This case comes in the wake of accused Craigslist killer Philip Markoff’s jailhouse suicide and allegations a Brockton man robbed two women he found in the site’s “adult services” section.
…
“Craigslist continues to facilitate everyday prostitution and even human trafficking of men, women and children,” Coakley said. “In the interest of public safety, Craiglist should immediately take down the adult services section of their Web site.”

On Tuesday, the attorneys general from 17 states wrote an open letter to Craigslist CEO Jim Buckmaster calling on him to “immediately”
remove the Adult Services category from the Web site. They argued that removing the category would protect women and children
who are often “victimized” because of ads for prostitution that they allege run on the site.
“The increasingly sharp public criticism of Craigslist’s Adult Services section reflects a growing recognition that ads for
prostitution — including ads trafficking children — are rampant on it,” wrote the state AGs. “Because Craigslist cannot,
or will not, adequately screen these ads, it should stop accepting them altogether and shut down the Adult Services section.”
…
This isn’t Craigslist’s first time dealing with legal pressure to ensure prostitution ads aren’t running on its Web site.
