Does raise some interesting questions...
...like does Craigslist actually do business in Illinois? While have a hard time imagining what sorts of "erotic services" would not be prostitution, and I wouldn't allow such a category if I was running the site, I don't think Cook County has a lot of recourse against Craigslist or its owners.

Under the circumstances, it might be better for vice squads to use Craigslist as yet another investigative tool, kind of like the Yellow Pages (lots of morally dubious businesses there). If word gets out that an advertisement in "erotic services" is an open invitation for the cops to investigate the person running it, I would suspect that many fewer prostitutes will want to promote their services in that fashion.
