COLUMBUS

An Ohio couple has pleaded guilty in a Craigslist scam that duped hundreds of victims in 36 states and Canada into buying nonexistent tickets to events such as the Super Bowl and concerts including Katy Perry and Kenny Chesney.

Court documents say Todd and Jessica Steinhaus netted more than $200,000 over four years.

The Ohio attorney general’s office said Monday that both pleaded guilty last week to engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity.
