Note: This story has been updated with a statement from Elizabeth McDougall.

Washington State attorney general Rob McKenna this week lashed out at Elizabeth McDougall, general counsel of Village Voice Media Holdings, labeling her a hypocrite for saying her company is an ally in the fight against human trafficking.

McDougall is used to being called names. Her company publishes the online classified ad service, Backpage.com, which offers, among other things, ads for adult services (i.e., prostitution).

Various blogs in the past year have used the terms “corporate sellout,” “Village Voice pimp,” and “whore” when referring to the GC or the company’s adult ads business.
