Bids/Classifieds To place your ad, email Advertising deadlines 12:00 Noon Monday Hours: Monday - Friday 8:30 a.m. - 5:30 p.m. advertising@theskanner.com Sex continued from page 1 underage people. They urged Village Voice to implement a policy where people placing an ad on Backpage.com show up in person to verify age. Backpage.com has been the nation's leading source of online sex escort ads since Craigslist.org shuttered its adult services section in September 2010. Shared Hope International has compiled a list of dozens of cases in 15 states in which girls were allegedly offered for sex on Backpage.com, most within the past year. The Seattle Police Department says it has linked 22 cases of child prostitution since 2010 to girls who were advertised as escorts on the website. Washington state recently enacted a law that makes clas- sified advertising company representatives who publish or cause publication of sex-related ads peddling children sub- ject to criminal prosecution. Proof of a good-faith attempt to verify the age of the advertised person is considered a defense under the law. Village Voice Media owns 13 alternative weekly newspa- pers around the country, including Seattle Weekly. Unlike Backpage.com, Seattle Weekly requires ID from those depicted in sex-related ads in its pages. CORPORATE GIS MANAGER Apprx.
