why not? women from other countries lured with promises and then forced. it is just another place for the criminal element to make money. the women are not making anything. online porn is huge with sex slaves.

not to mention the ever present prostitution.

it is not a matter of degrading anyone for a choice. it is a matter of standing up for the children and women that are not allowed the choice.

and no one knows who is there willingly and who is not.

so, with that thought, i ask. what is our responsibility in our entertainment. i think how we all abhor the slavery of a couple hundred years ago. and with what is happening today, how we say cant look, watch, see the pain, but it is really bad. this is not making sense to me.


According to the indictment, Davis lured victims to his operation with promises of modeling contracts and a glamorous lifestyle. He then forced them into a grueling schedule of dancing and performing at strip clubs in Connecticut, New York, and New Jersey. When the clubs closed, Davis forced the victims to walk the streets until 4 or 5 a.m. propositioning customers. The indictment also alleged that he beat many of the victims to force them to work for him and that he also used physical abuse as punishment for disobeying the stringent rules he imposed to isolate and control them.18

Local and state law enforcement officers may unknowingly encounter sex trafficking when they deal with homeless and runaway juveniles; criminal gang activity; crimes involving immigrant children who have no guardians; domestic violence calls; and investigations at truck stops, motels, massage parlors, spas, and strip clubs. To this end, the authors offer various suggestions and indicators to help patrol officers identify victims of sex trafficking, as well as tips for detectives who investigate these crimes.

Locations, such as truck stops, strip clubs, massage parlors, and cheap motels, are havens for prostitutes forced into sex trafficking. Many massage parlors and strip clubs that engage in sex trafficking will have cramped living quarters where the victims are forced to stay.
