the scary thing here is they just didn't arrest people who showed up...phone contact was enough.

"The 14 who were arrested physically met with the undercover officer"

Yeah there’s no way they could get charges to stick based on texting alone, at least in this type of sting.

But over 100 people reached out in the 8 hours they ran the operation. I guess that gives us an idea of how crazy their phones must get when they post ads.

The messed up part is they claim this fights trafficking but admit these are just random johns. Why not go after, you know, actual human traffickers? I think vast majority of us support enforcement against those who actually hurt women but this isn’t helping anyone.

The last dude got criminal conspiracy. Wonder why his was different. Must be a few of these on this board. What a waist of taxpayers money doing this shit when it could be put to better use.

Second to the last was hit with patronizing and criminal conspiracy.

They shouldn’t lump human trafficking and prostitution together.

But, for the sake of headlines, it seems as if human trafficking is the new word for prostitution.

It looks like they don’t have many leads on human trafficking and went for a quick bust. I saw on the news in January, human trafficking is the mission of the DA. I did see a couple of adds pop up on STG that were pretty hot women that were only up for a day.

It sucks how these politicians and officials will ruin people's lives for a quick headline in the paper. Yeah you can make the case that these guys did it to themselves for patronizing but it's not a crime where anyone was getting hurt. I noticed most spas now have signs in the room saying girls are there of their own free will and no sex in the rooms.

 

[Chc5]

Damn it turns out i know one of those guys!

Central PA is a terrible place for this hobby. Many years ago it was decent with spas in York and Reading. But those days are long gone.

"fuel traffickers who fill that demand with victims." This should be the slogan at the southern border. We're going to see a lot more of this activity because of all the crap filtering into the country.

 

[Chicagoboy]

I've been mongering for about nine years now and with the exception of one girl who had some mental health issues, I've never been with one who didn't look like they enjoy what they do. I think the trafficking is more with runaways and southern border people coming in.

 

[Markmyheart25]

Many (most) politicians don't care a bit about human trafficking, (ex. southern border) but if they can use the language for political capital, they're all in. Since this is the case, who are the real abusers those trafficked?

 

[jim_hatez]

Wow 100 mongers tried to schedule in a single day.

That kinda stuff scares me more so than the bust, lol.

 

[scrubs321]

To go and visit an unverified provider is very risky. Legalizing the hobby would mostly eliminate the trafficking and generate revenue. The demand will not go away.

 

[Ellocohombre]

May be a good idea to curtail reviews for a little while.
