Sheriff: Man Sold His Wife For Sex On Craigslist

CHICAGO (AP) ―


Clinton Danner, 32, of Rockford, Minn., is charged with felony pandering for allegedly sending his wife to at least eight states to have sex with men in encounters he set up on online and forcing her to deposit the proceeds into his own bank account.

Craigslist CEO Jim Buckmaster is reacting to the arrest of a Minnesota man accused of selling his wife's sexual services on the online classified site.

Buckmaster didn't comment on the specifics of the Chicago arrest. But he said Wednesday that Craigslist works with law enforcement when called upon to help solve and prosecute crimes.

He also warns that using Craigslist for criminal purposes "is extremely unwise" because it leads to an electronic trail.

Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart says 32-year-old Clinton Danner from Rockford, Minn., convinced his wife she would never see their preschooler again if she didn't have sex with strangers for money.

Danner was arrested Sunday at a Chicago hotel. He faces a felony charge and is being held on $150,000 bond. It isn't clear if he has an attorney.
