It’s a gray area. Does anyone, want to be working in the worlds oldest profession? Does the high priced prostitute really want to do what he/she does, any more than the desperate, cheap one, does? To me, the price is irrelevant. It’s all a form of slavery, whether self imposed, or otherwise. Why the #### would anyone want to do that for a living?Joe Bryant said:
I know someone who does. It's not her main source of income. She's in a really affluent area with a lot of wealthy transients. She carries a limited - about a half dozen - amount of clients, all long term.
Why would anyone want to clean port-a-johns for a living? There are a lot of sick and disgusting jobs out there that people are stuck doing. Now the human trafficking is not the same thing. That is pure evil, and there should be punishment for all involved. The high priced pro probably has other life options available, and because of my looks, would probably charge me extra as hazard pay.
The few documentaries I've seen on Netflix depict the high price world similar to the above. It is depicted as voluntary and similar to the "I like sex" and the "money is great" themes. One of the documentaries followed a Stanford graduate that actively sought this line of work out, for example. You can probably find it with a quick Google search.
Absolutely. I was just responding to the take that it's all slavery. I don't know what the % is, but people like my friend are in the distinct minority.
also, I think the filming is part of building a much bigger case. They are not looking to sting a single person, but were building a state wide type of case where they likely needed a mountain of evidence to make sure they could convict across the board.
the Police did not mention minors as being part of the investigation in their statements yesterday from what I have read.
Kind of what I was thinking. Are we sure he wasn't just having sex with some 40 something year old Asian woman who was doing it at her own free will?OrtonToOlsen said:
I don't know how rich Wessel is, but he's obviously prominent in the community. To their credit the police published the names of the persons caught up in this, though looking through the local coverage I don't see Kraft or Childs. Wessel is in there though.
Sorry maybe I misunderstood the question or maybe the facts, but I was under the impression spas were doing the taping, not the cops. I just took it that the cops seized video, so I thought the question was why would the spas be taping.
yes, the police were very clear in that the multi site ring being investigated was based on trafficking. But they did not mention minors in any of the statements I read.
The police obtained a warrant to secretly setup video cameras in the establishments as part of their investigation.
One of the articles I read indicated that at least two of the men arrested had come in believing they’d arranged sex with a fourteen year old. I don’t believe there was a statement that an actual fourteen year old was involved in that.
When you build these multi site wire tap cases, the goal is to take the whole ring down at once. They can't jump at the first sign of illegal activity else they risk destroying the case.
Yup. Cops have to let some pretty insane stuff happen to take out huge groups like this.
I can't speak to when they break their own rules on this stuff, but this has been the way the big cases work, going back to at least 1970 when RICO was formed. It may go back even before that.
But if he’s caught in a hotel room he’s guilty. If he’s caught in a massage parlor it’s pretty hard to prove he was soliciting.
I’m sure these billionaires were just coincidentally visiting establishments that happened to be willing to arrange underage rape victims for people.
Maybe just maybe, people might agree this is exploitation when they read about the 14 year olds.
Kraft's name tops Tiger on this one. I think people are probably expecting Tiger to turn up at this point.
Is there any evidence that Kraft is involved in the human trafficking or kid stuff?
Nope.
I wonder too how it would effect violent crime in this country. I would think it would go down, particularly mass shootings.
Not that has come out. It appears the overwhelming majority of the women involved were adults.
Thanks. I'm trying to get a good gauge on how the public is responding.
The average age female sex worker gets into the industry is about fourteen or fifteen.
I know that.
