8 Women Snared in Craigslist Prostitution Sting

A prostitution sting in the lower Hudson Valley snares eight women from as far away as Albany and Schenectady.
    
Police in Ulster County say the women were making house calls as part of an Internet-based prostitution business that advertised on Craigslist, a classified listing site.
    
Undercover officers from the Ulster Regional Gang Enforcement Narcotics Team ordered the alleged prostitutes from the Craigslist “erotic services'' directory.
    
Each of the women came to a location in the town of Saugerties and offered sexual acts in exchange for money. All of them -- including a mother-daughter team -- were charged with prostitution.
    
Arrests of prostitutes advertising over Craigslist have become more common across the country.
