Police: Brothel was advertised online

AURORA, Ill., Oct. 26 (UPI) -- Police in Aurora, Ill., said a couple has been charged with running a brothel after they advertised the illegal business on Web site Craigslist.

Edward Green and his wife, Megan Morris, have been charged with keeping a house of prostitution at their eastern Aurora apartment complex, the Chicago Tribune reported Friday. Green was also charged with pandering and Morris was hit with prostitution charges.

Police said the brothel was advertised on Craigslist and alleged that Morris agreed to have sex for money when contacted by an undercover police officer.

Investigators said they learned of the online advertisement after a man filed a complaint that he had made arrangements to meet Morris for sex at the apartment but was instead robbed by two men.
