Moron of the week

[Securb]

There is a serial murderer in Boston that is finding his victims in the escorts section of Craig's List. So what do these morons do......all 50 of them.....


WORCESTER — No men busted in a prostitution sting over the weekend where undercover police officers posted a Craigslist advertisement offering sex for cash matched the description of a man described as a “person of interest” in the fatal shooting of a New York woman Tuesday inside a Boston hotel.

Headed by the Vice Squad, police arrested 50 people starting Thursday night and into Saturday morning mostly for prostitution charges. The sting included one separate arrest for drug possession.

Police Captain Paul B. Saucier, head of the Vice Squad, said police targeted men looking to meet women for sex through Craigslist postings and also women peddling their body for cash over the Website.

The prostitution sting included a sweep of the Main South area of the city.

There were 20 people arrested in the Craigslist sting, where police set up at a city hotel and either arrested women there to meet a man or men who responded to the undercover officer’s post.

Capt. Saucier declined to say which hotel police set up the sting, stating the hotel cooperated with police in the investigation.

Worcester police set up this sting about a week ago before a New York City woman who advertised masseuse services on Craigslist was killed inside the Marriot Copley Place in Boston Tuesday night. Authorities believe there may be a connection to the robbery of women inside the Westin Copley Place and a Warwick, R.I., hotel. Both women were bound in those robberies.

Police released surveillance of man leaving Marriott Copley Place and the Westin Copley Place.

“None of the johns arrested appeared to match the man on video and photos,” Capt. Saucier said.

Police Chief Gary J. Gemme said the information of the men arrested will be passed on to Rhode Island and Boston investigators.

“It was just a coincidence we planned this initiative coming off the heels of that violence,” Chief Gemme said. “It is just another example of why we need to stay focused on quality of life issues and violence.”

He continued, “There’s always a concern when you look at what happened in Boston and Providence. That certainly could have happened in Worcester.”
