Craigslist To Change Adult Listings [uk.reuters.com]

Online classified site Craigslist will replace its "erotic services" ads with a new adult category "to bar flagrant prostitution and #*$!," the Connecticut attorney general's office said on Wednesday.Craigslist's sex-service listings have faced intense scrutiny following the April 14 murder of 25-year-old masseuse Julissa Brisman, who advertised on Craigslist in Boston. Philip Markoff, a 23-year-old Boston University medical student, was charged with killing Brisman and with attacks on two other women he met through Craigslist. Officials from Craigslist were not immediately available to comment.
