Look up Craigslist, and you'll find ads for housing, collectibles, even jobs...but look a little closer, and you'll find available services that in many cases are illegal.
Nearly 20 states--including Montana-- have joined in an effort to demand change through the removal of the adult services section by Craigslist, hoping to reduce illegal human sex trafficking; but Craigslist itself isn't the only issue.
But Craigslist is just the beginning, opening the doors to an online world filled with credit card information, identity theft, financial schemes...ultimately a market that will never be completely legal.
