Over in Obama land, U.S. District Court Judge John Grady ruled that Craig’s List does notviolate prostitution laws. This is in response to a civil case brought by Tom Dart, the sheriff of Cook County, Illinois. Said the judge, “Sheriff Dart’s lengthy complaint relies heavily on a few conclusory allegations to support the contention that Craigslist induces users to post ads for illegal services,” the judge wrote. “Even at this stage of the case we are not required to accept those allegations at face value and they are not meaningfully different from the allegations that our Court of Appeals rejected last year…Sheriff Dart may continue to use Craigslist’s Web site to identify and pursue individuals who post allegedly unlawful content…but he cannot sue Craigslist for their conduct.”
