Craigslist Founder Donates $1 Million to Fight 'Fake News'

"AK said she knew of more than 20 girls who were trafficked on the site"
One of the women, who identified herself as MC, said she was forced into prostitution at the age of 11 by a man who trafficked "many girls my age".
"All day, me and other girls sat with our laptops, pasting pictures and answering ads on Craigslist, he made $1,500 a night selling my body, dragging me to Los Angeles, Houston, Little Rock – and on one trip to Las Vegas in the trunk of a car," the ad said. "Craig we write this letter so you will know from our personal experiences how Craigslist makes horrific acts like this so easy to carry out … and the men who arrange them very rich."
The second woman, identified as AK, said that last year she met a man twice her age who pretended to be her boyfriend. "He put my picture on Craigslist, and I was sold for sex by the hour at truck stops and cheap motels, 10 hours with 10 different men every night. This became my life," the ad said. "Men answered the Craigslist advertisements and paid to rape me. The $30,000 he pocketed each month was facilitated by Craigslist 300 times."
AK said she knew of more than 20 girls who were trafficked on the site: "Like me, they were taken from city to city, each time sold on a different Craigslist site."

Wow. Don't you just love how the people doing evil can give money, in the name of research or a charity, and act like they are doing it for something good? Many times the charity descriptions sound great but it's written in a way to where you don't understand what the heck it all really means unless you dig. It's been known for a long time that Craigslist has prostitution advertised. That is what should be shut down!! This man sickens me.

The Bush's and the Clinton's both refer to their life of crime as ' PUBLIC SERVICE '.
