THE RECORD
Internet advertising of the world’s oldest profession has spawned an increase in prostitution arrests along North Jersey highways, which provide easy access to hotels and connections to some of Bergen County’s wealthiest towns, police say.
“The face of prostitution is dramatically changing in this area, and this is largely a result of the use of the Internet as a means of advertising the service,” Mahwah Police Chief James Batelli said. “I think this is the reason why we have seen such a dramatic increase in the number of prostitution arrests.”
