Police arrested 12 women who advertised sex for pay on an Internet Web site.
Police Bucks County said they arrested the women after they received a tip last month about alleged prostitutes who advertised themselves on Craigslist.com, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported. Investigators then called cell phone numbers posted on the site that advertised “GFE’s” for girlfriend experiences, that asked for payments in “ro$e$” or “125 donations.”
The investigators then waited for the women at motels where they were later arrested. Several, police said, brought their boyfriends who were also arrested.
The operation was similar to those conducted by police other states such as Maryyland, New York, Oregon and New Hampshire.
Sue MacTavish Best, a spokeswoman for Craigslist, said the site cooperates with authorities and uses a system that allows users to inform the site about prohibited content.
