[I On Da Street]

A fellow Monger messaged me privately to share this, hopefully this is just one guy doing this.

http://www.southcoasttoday.com/news/20170817/fairhaven-man-charged-in-sexual-assault-beating

I think I redacted everything for forum rules.

From the article.

NEW BEDFORD — A dangerousness hearing will be held Friday for a Fairhaven man suspected in a vicious assault on a prostitute late last month in Freetown, according to court documents.

JXXXXXX CXXXXXX, 46, is accused of picking up the victim on the night of July 29 on Acushnet Avenue at Tallman Street in New Bedford, driving her to Freetown, where he allegedly raped and assaulted her, court documents say.

He is accused of hitting her in the back of the head with his hand; striking her in the face with a gun; pointing a gun at her and forcing her to remove her clothes, according to court documents.

X is charged with aggravated rape serious bodily injury, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, assault with a dangerous weapon and assault and battery, court records indicate.

He is being held without bail at the Bristol County House of Corrections before Friday's hearing in New Bedford District Court, according to court records. He was arraigned Aug. 11 in the same court.

Court records in this case make references to several recent assaults involving prostitutes. "The undersigned, NBPD Sex Crimes Division and Massachusetts State Police have been involved in an investigation involving sexual assaults and serious physical assaults on prostitutes in the City of New Bedford as well as surrounding communities," Detective XXXXXXXXX said in his report.

The dates, locations and details of these other incidents are not included in the report.

The July 29th victim suffered "extensive facial injuries," her eyes and face were "severely swollen. " She is unsure how many times she was struck her in the face with the gun, according to court documents. She spent five days in the intensive care unit at Rhode Island Hospital.

(The victim) states she was in fear for her life so she jumped out of the truck. (The victim) states she can't remember a lot of what happened to her. The attack was vicious," court documents said.

Five Rhode Islanders and a Massachusetts man were arrested in a prostitution sting at a motel just over the state line.

Attleboro Detective Lt. Timothy Cook Jr. said Saturdays sting at the Attleboro Motor Inn on Route 1 was prompted after police noticed an uptick in problems there this year.

Found out a friend of mine was busted in a sting 3 months ago Craigslist Plymouth county area, his lawyer says he can get 5 yrs under the new laws. Everything now is considered sex trafficing.Even just meeting an adult women.

[DarkClouds]

Which new laws? Any links?

[FairPlay]

People still use Craigslist?

Do you know the events that led up to the sting? Did he use specific language? Did he exchange funds? Did he open the door and they immediately came in or did he hang out in there for a little bit so he could incriminate himself before they came in?

Do you know the events that led up to the sting? Did he use specific language? Did he exchange funds? Did he open the door and they immediately came in or did he hang out in there for a little bit so he could incriminate himself before they came in?So sex trafficking = selling someone with the intent to collect funds / profit for services provided. Where is your friend a sex trafficker? He needs a competent lawyer or he misunderstood the lawyers definition. He could be arrested for soliciting and sentenced to prison time for such. Maura Healey, candidate for governor, is an idiot by definition and is turning up the heat, she hates all of us solicitors, it's election time so she has to impress enough people to secure the vote. Maura Healey cannot change the definition of trafficking. So as long as you have a scheduled date with someone and as long as the woman is on the same page as you and confirms such what else do they have on you?

sorry, for clarification:
Human sex trafficking is a sex crime, but its generally viewed as more serious. Its a federal offense no matter the age of the victims or any other factors. Trafficking occurs when someone, often a third party, uses threats, coercion, or tricks to lure someone into prostitution. Victims of sex trafficking are moved from one location to another and typically forced into the sex trade against their will.

Solicitation occurs when a request for a sexual act is made. If money is given in exchange for the sexual act, solicitation is a crime. If the solicitation involves an underage child its a felony crime. Laws vary from state to state concerning whether the solicitation of an adult is a felony or misdemeanor, but its usually a misdemeanor.

He drove to her address and was busted, it was plymouth county, he just told me about it. I thought it was a misdemeanor you get a fine. He 30 yrs old and they told him he is looking at 5 yrs, is that right.He hiried a lawyer out of Boston suppose to be good.

[DarkClouds]

Bro, that's not nearly enough info to make a determination on a crime. He answered an ad and drove to her address? What did the ad say? How did he respond? Jeez.

Maybe the hoe was working with LE who knows. Sure, states vary on whether solicitation is a felony or misdemeanor. So jail time could be in his future but the original poster of this story called it "trafficking " which it is not!

[Willy O]

My best guess is they will start out with the highest and best charge possible and then scale it down as needed. If that is the case, it also opens them (the police etc) up to a potential lawsuit! ?

[Ho Hunter 328]

He said he answered a craigslist post back in July. He drove to her address and was busted, it was plymouth county, he just told me about it. I thought it was a misdemeanor you get a fine. He 30 yrs old and they told him he is looking at 5 yrs, is that right.He hiried a lawyer out of Boston suppose to be good.They're likely charging him with it for the publicity, but expect him to take a plea to a lesser charge. It's unlikely they could meet the elements of the sex trafficking charge unless he could be construed as attempting to recruit or entice someone into prostitution, OR a sexually explicit performance, OR pornography (yes, the MA Sex Trafficking law includes pornography and performances). No actual trafficking is required in the MA law, nor does it require force or coercion.

It's a 5 year minimum mandatory sentence, no parole, no probation, no suspended sentences, no time off for good behavior, no work release. Maximum sentence is 20 years (life if under 18). AND a $25,000 fine.

Now if HE was the one who introduced the topic of paying (in any way, not necessarily money) for a sexual act, performance, or production of pornography, that could be construed as enticement or recruiting.

Remember that production of pornography in MA is also illegal without a permit, and last I heard from someone who attempted to get one was that the state denies all applications.

Moral of the story, NEVER be the first one to initiate a conversation about sex for compensation.

Stay safe, and happy hunting.

This.What difference does it make who initiates the conversation about money? If you show up they arrests you?

[KatSuno1492]

Both party's agreed to the transaction will a judge allow an over charge, is that legal to charge a person for something he didn't do. There was no threat or coercion. Trafficing is not what they did?

[DarkClouds]

As a couple of people have pointed out -- seems like the SOP is to start with the biggest charge that could possibly stick and then whittle it down in exchange for plea agreements. It's a whole drama and the biggest issue is the cost and affordability of hiring a good lawyer. Again, the most valuable pieces of information are still missing:

A) what was the language of the ad?

B) what were the details of the phone / text exchanges that led up to the meeting?

C) what was discussed and what transpired during the meeting?

Without all this we're just wasting time here.

As for responding to posts, just stick to reviewed girls until you gain a bit more experience?

Trafficing is not what they did?The MA "trafficking" law goes well beyond what is traditionally considered to be trafficking. It includes enticing and recruiting, with no force or coercion required, as well as including pornography and performances. So according to the MA law, if you were to respond to an add on CL that did not specifically mention anything sexual, and asked if they'd be interested in something sexual in exchange for some form of compensation, that could be construed as recruiting or enticing. Whether or not the judge will agree is a different matter, but it's enough for the DA to make the charge. Then in pre-trial the DA could offer to drop the felony charge with a 5 year mandatory sentence if you plead guilty to the misdemeanor sex for a fee. Many will likely take the plea bargain rather than roll the dice with the judge. It's a win-win situation for the DA, they got the publicity for the trafficking arrest (media rarely bothers to follow up on whether the suspect was convicted or not), and still get some type of conviction.

Stay safe, and happy hunting.

Think I am going to take a break from the game this is getting way to risky.I was only asking if this can be true i think he is telling me everything that really happened,feel bad for him.I always thought it was a misdemeanor.

The last time Plymouth Co ran a sting and publically released it was 10/2021. So in an election year, there is no news of this?1! They use Craigs list?? WTF even looks at Craigs list? The story is odd and disturbing if true. / With all the drugs on the cape, the the decides to spend money and resources going after the low-hanging fruit and not publicize it in an election year?

Here is a good read:

https://reason.com/2021/08/18/plymouth-county-keeps-puritanism-alive-with-bogus-sex-trafficking-stings/
If convicted, they'll be sentenced to a mandatory minimum of five years in prison without the possibility of parole, plus mandatory registration on the Massachusetts Sex Offender Registry. The possible punishment for trafficking an adult for sexual servitude includes up to 20 years in prison and a $25,000 fine.

Thats some crazy shit right there for renting a hole.

[Ho Hunter 328]

I always thought it was a misdemeanor.The key here is that CL (and sugar daddy sites) specifically prohibit known escorts from posting. So ostensibly when contacting someone on one of those sites you are coercing / recruiting a non-prostitute into prostitution. I suspect that's their reasoning for the trafficking charge. Were it someone on any of the escort sites, or a streetwalker, then it's a misdemeanor sex for a fee charge since they're already in the business. In realty we all known it's bullshit, and so do they, but our AG has a vendetta against sex work.

In effect it makes looking for those UTR or low volume girls a bigger risk.

This is all just my supposition based on the information available anyway.

Stay safe, and happy hunting.

[DarkClouds]

Really potent analysis. Heartfelt thank you for your insight.

Re-reading this in light of the recent analysis. What was the address he drove to? Would LE conduct a sting at an officer's actual address? Or are they likely to rent an apartment just for this purpose? So, was it a home or hotel? If hotel, then it contradicts the UTR nature of the girl. I'm wondering if there were red flags that were ignored.

I recently tried posting a very openly worded ad with only a few responses, mainly guys, not my thing.

I recently got a response from a lady, so they say, from Marshfield. Our conversation didn't talk about specifics BUT she kept asking what I was willing to pay.

Nothing sexual was discussed, she eventually told me she wanted 3.

She wanted me to visit her.

After reading the threads on here, I decided to decline and be safe.

I did have a feeling something wasn't right before I read the threads on here.

Best to be safe.

If that is the case, it also opens them (the police etc) up to a potential lawsuit! ?There is no lawsuit there. His actions could be viewed as supporting human trafficking, so the charge is ok. It's supporting trafficking because prostitution dollars are the driver for trafficking. They'll never convict, but the charge stands. It's just to make him plea to a lesser charge.

The PD was skillful. Usually LE does it out of hotel room, which can put us on alert. A house? They never do that, or so I thought.

[Lil Boy Blue]

Call Bob Craft.Lmdao! Brother you ain't right. Nearly spit out my food LOL. The question that I have upon rereading his multiple queries is, is he actually inquiring for himself under the guise as being for a "friend"? Why keep asking and asking about this if his "friend" has a good attorney?? Just doesn't make sense to ask here so intensely when the attorney can answer any and all his / friend's questions. Hmm. Just my thought. No disrespect nor judgment is meant at all toward a fellow brother and senior.

Just my thought. No disrespect nor judgment is meant at all toward a fellow brother and senior.I don't think his attorney is qualified for this case he doesn't seem to have many good answers, and he really can't afford a good one. A good one priced him $5000 for district court,$15,000 for the superior court paid in full up front, how many of you can cut that check? Its a statute from 2011. Its never been applied like this, its statute 265 section 50 sex trafficing. Just thinking if they succeed at this, who knows how many other DAs will try it maybe someday on one of us. I know him so I am following it, I am in that same area all time. Look up how many cities, and towns fall in the Plymouth county. We are always looking for new female friends and one of us has to be the first, just thinking maybe next time is it going to be the last time, kind of takes the fun out of it when it hits close to home. If you are not interested in how this turns out skip over my post no one is forcing you to read. Just posting this to make others aware of what could be in store for you, that's what we do on this site is share the good the bad and the ugly.
