HOBART — Six men and one woman are facing charges after police busted a prostitution operation, after tips came into police.

Koren. 23, of Hobart, was charged with prostitution.

Police said Friday that Eric. 37, of Lake Station; John, no age or address available; Michael. 21, Hobart; David. 35, of Walkerton; David, no age or address given; and Boyd. 52, of Valparaiso, have been charged with patronizing a prostitute. All the charges are Class A misdemeanors.

Police received a tip in July regarding 'suspicious activity' at 816 E. 3rd St. The caller said men would park their vehicles at a nearby business and walk to the residence. The caller said the men would be at the residence for 30 to 45 minutes and then leave, adjusting their clothing.

At the end of November, police received a second call describing the same activity.

Police began a surveillance operation on Dec. 1. Police saw an unidentified man leave the east apartment. A woman, identified as Noll, followed him in another vehicle. The man, who is from Schererville, told police he had been paying Noll for sex for two years.

Noll told police she had been a prostitute since age 17 and she charges between $200 and $350 for various sex acts. Noll agreed to help detectives run the reverse sting operation.

The five men were arrested at Noll's apartment by police between Dec. 1 and Dec. 5. Police had installed two hidden video cameras and an audio recorder.

Any one have any info on who the woman was? Did she advertise online?Look over on the backpage review thread for a link. She is britney, angel, krissy, and who knows what other names. She also has a new ad up where she calls herself Leah.

From what I understand she was involved with the sting on about Dec 2nd and she is advertising again 2 weeks later with a new ad and phone number. Every hobbiest everywhere in the area should be warned about her.

Met her a year ago and actually had a decent time, obviously wasn't so careful and saved her own hide. I did see an ad for her about a week ago for south burbs. As according to the reports, some of those arrested were previous aquaintances. That's really f'ed up.

Husband of prostitute charged in Hobart sting

Last Modified: Dec 20, 2011 02:01AM

HOBART — The husband of a woman accused of prostitution told police he arranged for men to have sex with his wife and they used the money to support their heroin habit.

On Monday, Michael. 30, was charged with promoting prostitution, a Class C felony, in Lake Superior Court. A warrant has been issued for his arrest and bail was set at $30, 000, according to court records.

Last week, authorities charged his wife, Korenl. 23, with prostitution, an A misdemeanor. Six men were also charged with patronizing a prostitute, also an A misdemeanor.

Michael told police the couple moved to an apartment in the 800 block of E. 3rd Street in July when the prostitution activities began.

Police began monitoring the residence after receiving tips about suspicious activity and men emerging from the residence adjusting their clothing after a 30- to 45-minute visit.

Koren told police she has been a prostitute since age 17 and performed a variety of sex acts for men whom she charged between $200 and $350. Koren said she would travel to the clients' homes, hotel rooms or have the clients come to her apartment in Hobart.

Michael originally told police he was unaware of his wife's activities, then admitted he knew his wife was a prostitute and that he would leave the apartment before a client arrived.

He told police his wife made about $150, 000 to $200, 000 per year and that he received money from the proceeds of the prostitution. He said he and his wife were both addicted to heroin and they used the money to buy drugs. He said some of his wife's clients paid as much as $3, 000 to $5, 500 per visit.

The operation unraveled after Koren began cooperating with police earlier in the month. Hobart police set up a sting operation with hidden video cameras and audio recorders inside the Noll apartment. Police hid in Noll's bedroom and arrested the startled men as they sought services from Koren.

Lt. Steve Houck said Koren said she lived in Illinois before coming to Hobart.

Some of the men arrested in the sting told police they contacted Koren through backpage. Com which has escort service listings.

In October, Hobart police arrested Koren for possession of paraphernalia. She had a Dec. 29 court date in Hobart City Court

Illicit meeting ends in shooting

Sun-Times Media.

Last Modified: Dec 21, 2011 10:23PM

A man charged this week with promoting prostitution in Hobart was shot Tuesday in Joliet Township, Ill, following an altercation between his wife and one of their customers, according to police.

Michael. 31, of Hobart 'suffered a gunshot wound to the back with potential spinal damage, ' Will County, Ill, police said. He was airlifted to Loyola Medical Center in Maywood, Ill, where he was listed in stable condition. Police in Illinois said charges against him are pending.

Koren. 23, also of Hobart, was arrested on charges of robbery and prostitution and booked into the county jail in Illinois.

A warrant for Michael's arrest had been issued in Indiana on Monday when he was charged in Lake Superior Court with promoting prostitution, a Class C felony. His wife was charged Friday with misdemeanor prostitution following a sting operation in their apartment in the 800 block of East 3rd Street in Hobart. Police said Koren was cooperating with investigators, who had set up hidden cameras in their apartment. Six men were charged in the operation with patronizing a prostitute.

In the incident Tuesday night, police said, a would-be customer tried to stop Koren from ripping him off Tuesday by shooting her husband with a 12-gauge shotgun as he tried to force his way into the house.

According to reports, James. 35, had earlier contacted a woman on the 'back room' page of the Craigslist website and exchanged text messages to have her come to his house. Around 8 pm Koren Noll arrived and 'began negotiating a price for a sexual favor, ' police said.

After receiving money, Noll reportedly used Wenberg's cell phone to contact 'a girlfriend' waiting in the car, but did not receive an answer. Noll allegedly said she would go outside to 'speak with her 'girlfriend' and retrieve an outfit, ' but Wenberg became suspicious and demanded she return his money first.

When Wenberg stopped her from walking out, Noll took a can of pepper spray from her purse, but the contents were ineffective, police said. Wenberg reportedly let her keep the money and told her to leave, locking the door behind her.

'A few seconds later, he heard a loud boom and observed what he thought was someone trying to kick his front door open, ' police said. Wenberg told police he grabbed a 12-gauge shotgun from his bedroom and came out to fire one shot around the corner of the wall as the door was being forced open.

Deputies report the front door had been smashed off the hinges and a shotgun and shell were found nearby. Wenberg, who has a valid firearm owner's identification card, was questioned by police and released. Sources said he is not expected to face any charges.

The Nolls drove their 1996 Cadillac to Silver Cross Hospital, police said.

"johns" creating brotherhood in search for online sex.

"mongers" help each other find prostitutes, rating them by looks, performance and attitudeby marion friday, jan 11, 2013 | updated 7:13 pm cst.

illinois study finds thriving online marketplace for sex trade. marion reports.

it's no secret that the oldest profession in the world has taken advantage of digital technology, but a new study shows that the men who seek prostitutes have created a sort of online brotherhood.

the chicago alliance against sexual exploitation (caase) monitored a web site called usa sex guide, chat forums for men who buy sex, referred to as "mongers."

the mongers had created a sort of brotherhood, and helped each other find prostitutes, rating them by looks, performance and attitude.

"they've found a community. they are not alone anymore, they are not an individual who is privately seeking something," the study's author, lara said."they feel they have this brotherhood they can turn to for support."

the study also revealed an alarming attitude toward violence, human trafficking and **** girls.

"many are aware they are purchasing sex from **** girls. they still do it," janson said.

it seems like police crackdowns on the streets are working. several posts warned of increased law enforcement, with some of the mongers saying it's led them to reconsider their "hobby."

"what we really want law enforcement to do is stop arresting prostitutes and start arresting johns. we've hard from their own words that is what actually will deter them, if they felt a consequence for what they are doing," caase executive director durchslag said.

Then it's posted until 3pm to 4 pm and the gals posting comes down. Plus 80% of them don't ask for any references or rs2k sites to show a safer site. Indiana law is twice busted by LE is a felony.

MERRILLVILLE | Three local men were arrested in a prostitution sting conducted in Merrillville by the Lake County Sheriff's Department.

The sting by Lake County Children and Family Unit Detectives, started with police placing an ad on craigslist under the "Casual Encounters" section.

A female undercover Lake County sheriff's police officer then posed as a prostitute between 9 am. And 3 pm Tuesday in the 8200 block of Louisiana Street. The officer was approached by men who propositioned her for her services.

David. 31, of Hobart, and Alexander 38, and Louis. 51, both of Crown Point, were arrested on charges of patronizing a prostitute and sexual deviate conduct.

The three men were transported to the Lake County Jail.

"This sting is part of an on-going initiative to address prostitution and human trafficking," Lake County Sheriff Buncich said in a statement issued Wednesday afternoon."We will continue to address these issues in the weeks and months ahead."

HAMMOND.

In a bare south Hammond motel room with bedspreads decorated with flamingos and sea shells, a Hammond police detective kept his eye on a door peep hole and a Homeland Security officer listened to the scanner.

A car could be heard pulling into the nearby parking lot Tuesday morning followed by the tapping of a woman's heels on the outside pavement. She entered another hotel room where an undercover officer was staying, but she quickly grew suspicious.

The two made small talk for a few seconds, then the officer got straight to the point. How much did she want for sex? She said he got the wrong impression and walked away.

Tuesday's encounter was part of the latest sting targeting prostitution in Northwest Indiana. Lake County Sheriff's Department Detective Hurst, the Hammond Police Department, two agents from the FBI and officers from Homeland Security spent the morning in hotel rooms in South Hammond and North Hammond.

Hurst trolled Backpage.com and printed out 30 listings of women with suggestive and explicit descriptions about wanting money in exchange for sex. The officers' efforts netted one arrest.

Hurst said he hopes stings like Tuesday's could lead to the formation of a task force to combat human trafficking in Northwest Indiana.

But it was not easy luring the women, who could lead officers to human trafficking rings, into hotel rooms. The woman in the previous encounter later told Hammond Police Chief Miller, who took part in the sting, she spotted an undercover officer looking into her car when she got into the hotel room.

Another undercover officer made contact with a woman and agreed to meet at the North Hammond location. But she told the undercover officer she recognized an unmarked undercover car in the parking lot as that of a Hammond officer. She left but later made plans to return. In the end, she never showed up.

Officers at the South Hammond location arrested Ashley 25, of Gary, who went into the hotel room and agreed to have sex for money, Miller said. She faces a prostitution charge.

A 43-year-old Gary man who dropped off Friske at the hotel was detained by police for questioning late Tuesday, Miller said. The man told officers Friske is his wife's friend and she offered to pay him $20 in exchange for the ride. Miller said the man might face promoting prostitution charges.

Though the day didn't result in as many arrests as officers anticipated, Miller and Hurst said they already are coordinating the next sting.

"It was a learning experience for me," Hurst said as they drove back to the Hammond police station.

Here is a link to an announcement that the Lake County and Cook County are teaming up on sex trafficking in NWI. In the NWI Times article (couldn't find a link), they specifically mention that they are targeting ads on backpage. I've notice a lot of TGTBT ads that don't look right on google and disappear without a trace.

For those of you who knew her and / or saw her, Haylii has left us for good. The report is that she and her boyfriend were shot dead on Tuesday. She was a sweet girl with a long troubled history. I hope she can find some peace and happiness now.

CROWN POINT — Three women arrested in a raid last fall at two Highland massage parlors each pleaded guilty Friday to a reduced charge that will allow them to avoid jail time if they successfully complete probation.

Don't have any information that this was related to the hobby in any way, but it is a place that hobbyists may occasionally visit. Stay careful, and if a situation does not feel right, best to walk. There are more current reports being added and a quick search may help you stay informed.

I was in Indy for work for a couple of days and heard about this one down there. Indy is a much better place for mongering than either side of the state line is up here. Some options are more expensive, but odds of finding what you are looking for are much better. At least for now. Somebody had to try to get stupid and push an issue and got everyone riled up. Looks like this will be the new outcome.

https://youtu.be/-gd8yUptg0QThis seems to be the opinion of about everyone. What is the harm? If legalized and controlled it would be better for just about everyone but the pimps.

When the mob used to run joints around the area, you could rest assured of a great time for your money and the girls were very well treated. Chicago Heights and others, I owe you one. Thanks, Nelson.

No more free rides.Legalize stuff it makes it safer and more enjoyable, being rip off by drug addicted scum, or threaten with your life by pimps or a group of thugs, better yet being busted by LEO, it's safer and cheaper going to Nevada then the cost of a LEO bust.

Figueroa street in LA is wide open.

Check out Youtube for "Soft white underbelly". A guy named Mark uses that name as he interviews pimps and prostitutes, high end and low end. It seems they walk the streets with no police hassles. Drugs are a problem, but most of the girls look much better then the low end girls we get here. AND they are priced lower than here.

The most interesting interview, in my opinion, was "Frenchie" an actual French girl who told her whole story of how she got introduced to "pay for play" and never looked back. She did a stint at the infamous Bunny Ranch.

Don't skip a girl because she looks like crap in the black & white thumbnail he uses for everyone. They make everyone look bad.

Don't skip the nudists or the swap people. I found them hotter than the street girls even though they are older and mostly, really worn out. I'll bet it's because they are free and very enthusiastic.

ENJOY Nelson.

Do you remember the Vagabond Lounge?Spent a lot of time there, and the earlier place just south of there (Facing North, Show Club?) and down 30 and south on Western, and on Wolf road and route 6 (7?

$65 bucks a visit (1/2 or whole hr, don't remember) had a tune up shop back then and I changed most of my prices to $65.

All of those places were run the same and charged the same. Probably run by the same no nonsense group. Never had a rush session. They had a strawberry blonde at the Vagabond that was a real doll with a perfect body. She would often dance like the rest but never came out to the lounge and solicited drinks.

I was treated to a surprise one evening, out side. My buddy and I were walking in from the parking lot when a very familiar customer rolled by in his one-of-a-kind van. (I used to work on it) He was a local, well known, pizza entrepreneur. A big roll up door opened up and he pulled into what appeared to be VIP parking (it was) High roller parking. Seems they ran a casino upstairs behind the rooms.

I busted him days later. He said he; s send "Strawberry" out to see me. It seems they had several girls doing high roller free bees. She turned out to be a complete disappointment and acted like she couldn't wait to leave the commoner area Nelsonand get back to money. The scrawniest girl there was the best. Hands down.

Around 10:30 AM on Wednesday, November 1st the Winfield Police Department executed five (5) search warrants at locations in Winfield and Crown Point, according to Town Marshal.

The warrants are the culmination of a ten-month investigation which was initiated by complaints of prostitution at the Jade Massage parlor located on109th Ave here in Winfield.

As the investigation progressed, police found evidence of money laundering, tax evasion, sex trafficking, and prostitution. Police also began investigating other locations owned by the couple that own Jade Massage and Relax Massage located in Crown Point.

Assisting the Winfield Police Department in this investigation was the Battle Ground Police Department, the Indiana Department of Revenue, the Indiana Gaming Commission, the Crown Point Police Department, and the Lake County Prosecutor's Office. Assisting with the execution of today's search warrants was the Northwest Indiana Regional SWAT Team.

Jade Massage is now permanently closed and their business licenses have been revoked by the Town. This investigation is still on-going and fluid.

Numerous pieces of evidence were collected today and police are now beginning the task of processing that evidence to determine it's relevance and value. Once completed police will work with the Lake County Prosecutors Office to determine what charges, if any, will be filed.

I like how government always cites "national security" or "think of the children" when it comes to outrageous laws like this. On the surface this seems like a wholesome common sense law, but trust me it's far from that. The verification technology opens a can of worms that can lead to censorship and integrations into society. Wouldn't be surprised if someone gets denied a job because they visited PornHub a few times.

Thanks for sharing!
