An Internet service known as Gregslist allows people to advertise various household and other consumer services, such as landscaping, plumbing repair, domestic help, handyman work, etc. Lately, also, a considerable number of persons offering sexual services for money have also begun using the site. Though styled as “escort” services, the ads usually leave no doubt about the true nature of what is being offered or the payment that is expected in return. If Gregslist is indicted for aiding and abetting prostitution, which of the following would tend to show complicity?
