BENSALEM, Pa., Sep 11, 2006 (UPI via COMTEX) -- Police in Bensalem, Pa., were surprised to learn ads for "Oral Specialists" on an online market site had nothing to do with dentistry.
Ads found on craigslist.com for "Oralspecialist," "Bensalem Beauty" and "A Quick Afternoon Snack" turned out to be solicitations placed by prostitutes, who have moved off the street corner and onto the information highway, the Bucks County Courier Times of Levittown, Pa., reported Monday.
An undercover Bensalem officer told the newspaper he was amazed at how blatant some of the ads were, detailing explicit sex acts as well as pornographic photos and videos, phone numbers and exact pricing.
The officer said he made "dates" with 12 advertisers last week and not a single one even asked if he was with the police department before meeting him at an area hotel.
As an added bonus, one of the women brought along her boyfriend -- who just happened to have 55 bags of heroin and 87 bags of crack hidden in his pants.
