VANCOUVER - Prostitution charges have been laid against a 31-year-old Vancouver man who police call an online pimp.
Police say Mark Carlisle Humphrey used Craigslist to recruit women as escorts and exotic dancers.

After being alerted to the business the police raided Humphrey's home on June 18th.
He's now facing two charges of procuring a person to become a prostitute, plus charges of living on the avails of prostitution and aiding, abetting or compelling a person to engage in prostitution.
Humphrey has since been released on bail and his next court date is July 30.
