Illinois: Craigslist Suit Is Thrown Out

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

A federal judge has thrown out a lawsuit filed by Sheriff Tom Dart of Cook County against Craigslist. Sheriff Dart, left, wanted to force Craigslist to rid its Web site of classified ads offering adult services. But the judge, John Grady of Federal District Court, ruled Tuesday that the words “adult services” did not necessarily mean prostitution. He said Craigslist was not to blame if individuals who post advertisements violate guidelines barring prostitutes from using it to solicit business. Sheriff Dart filed his lawsuit in July, saying prostitution was still being advertised even though the Web site had changed a category name from “erotic services” to “adult services.”
