Problem

This is caused by faces inside your mesh. The main sign of this is that the crease only appears when subsurf is turned up; the inside faces add weight that pulls the verticies inwards (according to the subsurf algorithm).

Solution

Tab into edit mode and uncheck the X box in the Mirror modifier. Your properties panel should look like this:

This will leave you with half a human. Change into face select mode: enter image description here and select these faces:

Key X and select Faces. Tab out of edit mode and recheck X in the Mirror modifier. This is the repaired mesh:

I had a similar problem, And I just increased the merge limit in the mirror modifier, and it worked for me :)

I had a similar problem after applying the mirror modifier (no crease but a sharp line between mirrors). What worked for me was to select all and use Mesh - Normals - Set from faces in edit mode after the modifier was applied.
