A 14-year-old British Columbia girl has been charged for allegedly
prostituting herself and pimping out other girls through the online
classified site Craigslist.
Acting on a tip last month, police began looking into allegations a
teenage girl was selling sexual services and recruiting others into the
sex trade.
In online ads posted on Craigslist’s controversial erotic services
section, which has already come under criticism from the federal justice
minister, the girl was posing as an 18-year-old woman available for
sex.
“She was the ringleader,” said Chilliwack RCMP Cpl. Lea-Anne Dunlop. “It’s something that’s unfortunate to see.”
