Judge Dismisses Prostitution Suit Against Craigslist

U.S. District Judge John Grady tossed out a civil complaint, filed in March by the sheriff of Illinois' Cook County, which accused Craigslist of being a public nuisance and of violating federal, state and local prostitution laws. Sheriff Tom Dart even alleged in his lawsuit that Craigslist "solicits for a prostitute... by arranging meetings of persons for purposes of prostitution."
