NV- Craigslist used for soliciting sex

8-17-2009 Nevada:

Seven men have been arrested for soliciting sex with minors on the website craigslist.com

Police say the ads were posted on the "Casual Encounters" section of the site.

One of the men arrested even posted an ad offering for him to perform sexual acts on men and even boys in a bathroom stall.

Six of the men were locals and the other man arrested was a tourist, Henderson Police say their operation began back in February.

There are groups like perverted justice who monitor online chat rooms and websites for child predators. They partnered up with MSNBC and air a special series titled: "Predator Raw" and "To catch a predator." In the special investigations, they lure men who are seeking to have sex with minors from online, to meeting the so called minors at a house.

Once the men show up at the house to meet the minors, they are confront by Chris Hansen of dateline NBC. He questions them about the explicit chat they had with the decoy online and then they are allowed to leave. What they don't know is that the police are waiting outside for the men as they exit the house, to place the men under arrest. In most states showing up to a house to meet a minor, after having an explicit chat online is a felony. Just having an explicit chat online with a minor is a crime. ..Source.. by Ruben Sarmiento
