Mother said Josh Powell threatened her
NEW YORK, Sept. 6 (UPI) -- The Web site "Craigslist" has censored its "Adult Services" section, but ads seeking money for sexual services are still appearing, ABC News said.
Craigslist censored the "Adult Services" section late Friday, but ads offering sexual encounters were still appearing on its "Casual Encounters" section, ABC reported.
Ads alluding to exchanges of money for sexual services were found on Craigslist Web sites in New York, Las Vegas and other cities Sunday, the network said.
The ads used terms such as "fun time$" or a massage by "attractive independent female," the report said. Craigslist had made no comment since the Web site's link to the adult services section was taken down.
Craigslist blocked its adult services section in the United States just days after attorneys general in 17 states complained the site promoted prostitution.
Investigators say the so-called "Craigslist killer," Philip Markoff, found his victim after she posted an ad on the site.
Markoff committed suicide in jail last month while awaiting trial in the April 2009 armed robbery and slaying of Julissa Brisman in a Boston hotel.
