QUERREY & HARROW SUPPORTS SHERIFF THOMAS J. DART’S EFFORTS

With public interest at the forefront, Querrey & Harrow provided, pro bono, the legal services necessary to prepare the Complaint filed by Sheriff Thomas J. Dart today against Craigslist.  Sheriff Dart, calling the website the “single largest source of prostitution in the nation,” requests swift action to disable the site in order to protect the public from prostitution, juvenile prostitution, human trafficking, and child endangerment.

In November, Craigslist entered into an agreement with 40 Attorneys General to help control the sex-related postings being run through the site.  “The paltry efforts made by Craigslist fail to protect our citizens, and we will continue to support this effort, giving Sheriff Dart any and all resources he needs to shut down the erotic services section of this site,” says Querrey & Harrow’s Managing Shareholder.
