NEW YORK — from www.bostonherald.com- Seven New York residents have been indicted on charges of running a 24-hour prostitution ring on Craigslist.

Attorney General Andrew Cuomo’s [pictured] office says five of the seven were arrested Wednesday on charges of corruption, conspiracy and money laundering. They’re scheduled to appear in state Supreme Court on Wednesday in Queens, where authorities say the operation was based.

Authorities are searching for two other people.

Cuomo’s office says the group operated Room Service Entertainment in the “erotic services” section of Craigslist from June 2007 through December 2008. Investigators say the ads included explicit or seminude photographs and a phone number to arrange “dates.”

The defendants each face a maximum 25 years in prison if convicted.
