from www.news.gather.com – Philadelphia police have busted a Craigslist-base prostitution ring that has been set up near Philadelphia’s airport. There are also, murders, robberies, and assaults linked to this operation, and police arrested six women and three men in the sting.

Neither Craigslist nor the hotel was in anyway involved in these illegal activities.

“Police say they tracked down the ring members by using Craigslist and then sending undercover officers to the area,” writes Fox News.

Is it possible for there to be federal charges brought against the prostitution ring because the group used the Internet to solicit customers, and perform illegal acts? The longer they would be put away the better it is for the world. What a relief to get this group of criminals off the streets of Philadelphia.

The charges are prostitution, criminal conspiracy, as well as criminal solicitation. Christopher Powell and Clarence Norris of Philadelphia as well as Joseph Stalfire of Plymouth Meeting face charges of prostitution and criminal solicitation.

It is unclear if the men or women face any other charges regarding the other criminal activity that has been associated with this prostitution ring, but there will be further investigations.
