The Internet, Craig's List & Child Prostitution
The Associated Press, US & WorldFriday, 01/12/07
Two women used the online classified site Craigslist to offer sex with girls in exchange for "donations" or "roses" -- codewords for money, police said. Tamara Cotton, 25, and Christina Holt, 19, were arrested separately and were not working together, Cook County Sheriff's officials said Thursday.
Police arrested Holt on Monday and charged her with keeping a house of prostitution for allegedly arranging a sexual encounter with a 14-year-old girl. The three minors arrested were not taken into custody, sheriff's spokeswoman Sally Daly said.
