More backlash for Craigslist's Erotic Services Tuesday, with Illlinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan demanding that the section be removed from the site.

Madigan sent a letter to Craigslist Monday decrying what she deemed "the rampant prostitution and exploitation of women."

She added that while the site agreed late last year to government-endorsed terms, it hasn't yet fully upheld them.

"While there has been an approximately 40 percent decrease in daily postings, more than 400 ads are posted daily in Chicago alone, and the vast majority of ads blatantly violate even the most basic terms of use," she wrote.

The call is just the latest in a series of outraged responses on the part of government officials, largely stemming from the recent so-called "Craigslist Killer."

Phillip Markoff was arrested recently on charges that he murdered a young girl he met through a Craigslist ad.

Craigslist co-founder Craig Newmark told ABC News on Friday that he has no plans to shut down the Erotic Services section.

Last week, Craigslist made a tentative pledge to again update the security procedures surrounding its "Erotic Services" section, but announced no solid plans.

That announcement came after Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal called on Craigslist to make specific changes to its Erotic Services section.

In November, Craigslist started requiring people who post ads on the "erotic services" section of the site to provide credit card verification and pay a fee. In March, Sheriff Thomas J. Dart of Cook County, Illinois filed suit against Craigslist, accusing its owners of knowingly promoting and facilitating prostitution.

UPDATE: Craigslist responded to Madigan in a Wednesday blog post.

"We look forward to meeting with Attorney General Madigan to discuss progress made since our Joint Statement last November, and to hear any and all ideas she and others may have that could help reach our shared goal of eliminating illegal activity from Craigslist, while preserving all of the functionality and positive attributes that are currently enjoyed by the overwhelmingly law-abiding craigslist community of users."
