PHOENIX -- Online classified network Craigslist is under pressure to get rid of its erotic services section, or at least clean it up.

Tuesday, attorneys general from several states met with company officials to urge them to eliminate the section.

"No question, absolutely none, that Craigslist is operating an online brothel here. We're going after them to persuade them they ought to do the right thing, cooperate and eliminate the ads," said Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal.

The spotlight's been on Craigslist and its erotic services section since the arrest of Boston University medical student Philip Markoff, who is accused of slaying a woman he met through the Web site.

A search of the Web site’s Phoenix postings turned up hundreds of postings for erotic services.

One woman, who advertised herself as an “erotic blonde beauty,” agreed to speak anonymously. She said there are dangers associated with advertising erotic services on the site.

She said just a few months ago, she had to fight of a client who tried to rob her.

“We did our thing and he got up after and pulled a gun out of his jacket. I saw the gun and started freaking out," the woman said.

The woman was very candid about what $200 an hour entails.

“Usually a massage, dancing, sexual activities ... whatever pretty much the guy's into. A lot of men have fetishes," said.

Craigslist issued a statement, which said, company officials are "optimistic that our shared concerns can be addressed while preserving the beneficial aspects of Craigslist enjoyed by tens of millions of law-abiding Americans each month, without compromising the quintessentially American values of free speech embodied in our Constitution."

A representative of Arizona Attorney General Terry Goddard said Goddard believes that getting rid of Craigslist’s erotic services section will not fix the problem or make the Web safer. The spokesperson said Goddard believes in working with the company to target specific problems.
