Yes I saw it also. Interesting reader reviews though, majority find in favor as has been seen in the past, even the UN recognizes in favor that legalizing the time old endeavors might be the better solution to many of the issues (controlling, taxing, health, activity off the streets, incarceration costs, policing costs, court costs, etc). It's the age old arguments that seem to be coming up again and again but more and more.

Maybe it's social networking but checkout example (https://www.google.com/#q=survey+prostitution+results /#q=survey+prostitution+results.

One example of many in that search is https://www.surveymonkey.net/results/SM-NQDH6CPL/) 3/4 way down the survey the question to the people found both men and women are saying yes to legalization.

Whether that stands for anything or goes anywhere is another thing. A few years have gone by but checkout the UN resolution on the subject as well.

https://www.google.com/#q=un+resolution+to+legalize+prostitution

The debate, religious beliefs, etc goes on. Be interesting to see what social networking impact has.

Typical overkill with more LEO than jojos.

WESTBOROUGH 01/23/17 - State and local police arrested ten area men in a prostitution sting late last week, according to Worcester County District Attorney Joseph Early. The sweep, conducted by the State Police High Risk Victim Unit and the Northborough, Southborough, Westborough and Shrewsbury police departments on Thursday night, is part of an effort to combat human trafficking and sexual exploitation of women, Early said in a press release. "The focus of the operation was to attack the demand side of human trafficking, where we too often see women forced into prostitution," said Early.

The ten men were arraigned Friday in Westborough District Court on a charge of sexual conduct for a fee. The men responded to an online advertisement offering sex for money and called a female state police trooper who was posing as a prostitute. During the conversation, the men agreed to pay for sexual conduct and meet at the Econo Lodge in Northborough. The men were arrested upon entering the hotel room, according to a police report filed in Westborough District Court. All ten men were arraigned Friday and were released on personal recognizance. They will reappear in court in the coming weeks for a pre-trial conference.

http://westborough.wickedlocal.com/news/20170123/ten-johns-arrested-in-local-prostutition-stingFor the vast majority of them, the only thing "forcing" them into prostitution is their drug habit and the lack of ability to do anything else or people that just actually want to do it. I'm not saying that there are not some that are forced in some way. But how many of the ads on BP or CL have anything to do with either underage prostitutes or true sexual slavery? Must be getting close to reelection time for Early that he had to set this up. Either that or the "High Risk Victim Unit" is looking to justify it's funding.

One this is clear, they don't have any idea of what real human trafficking looks like. A sting like this is going to do little. They should be meeting with the providers that are most likely to be victims of trafficking and follow the trail to the real traffickers. My observation of the business in general is that people being trafficked tend to be at the high end, have managers, screeners and rake in a fair amount of cash.

ARG.

Love the part where they make it point to state they'll be targeting private residences. Not likely. That's all a lame attempt to try and curb (scare) people from using a house / apartment / condo for the hobby.

Busting traffickers. Give me a # at $% break. How does busting a 'John' affect a trafficker? Same old press BS.

Worcester police investigating death at massage parlor.

Worcester, MASS. (WHDH) - A massage parlor in Worcester was taped off on Thursday as police launched a death investigation on Pleasant Street.

Officers could be seen blocking the entrance to Angies Bodywork Spa at 383 Pleasant Street on Thanksgiving, after the Worcester Police Department responded to the scene sometime during the early afternoon.

Details on the nature of the death have not yet been released, with a spokesperson for the department only confirming that a death investigation was underway and that additional info would be released later in the day.

A Leicester man was arrested in connection with a shooting at a Worcester massage parlor that killed a woman on Thanksgiving Day.

Marcel Santos-Padgett, 31, is charged with armed assault to murder, Worcester Police Department said. He was originally charged with assault with intent to murder in connection with the shooting at Angies Bodywork Spa at 383 Pleasant St. , according to a warrant for his arrest. He was arrested at 4 Columbia Park in Haverhill on Friday.

First responders were called to a "suspicious" incident at Angies Bodywork Spa a little before 11:40 am Thursday. They were led to the woman by a man who flagged down officers and took them to her. But they were unable to revive the victim, police said.

During the incident, Santos-Padgett pointed a gun "at the head of a known victim and pulled the trigger," court documents state. Authorities have not yet identified the victim.

Police identified Santos-Padgett as a suspect through security video, on which they captured a "clear" picture of him, according to court documents. They also identified a car near the scene with license plates registered to him.

But they were unable to revive the victim, police said.Seems like the Motive is Santos-Padgett is just a Scumbag Dirtball. Much more detail in this Article which was previously posted:

https://www.telegram.com/story/news/crime/2023/11/23/worcester-police-investigate-death-on-pleasant-street/71686792007/

"Santos-Padgett was ordered confined to the home on GPS monitoring in 2021, records show, following a March 7 incident that year in which Worcester police alleged he pistol-whipped two men in the face inside a home on Stoneland Road. One of the men suffered a 3-inch laceration to his forehead and multiple bruises, police wrote, while the second had two large lacerations on his face and bruising. Santos-Padgett was arrested several hours after the assault, police wrote, after fleeing to Maine.

Central District Court Judge Michael G. Allard-Madaus sentenced Santos-Padgett to two years in the Worcester County Jail and House of Correction in April 2022 after he pleaded guilty to two counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and possession of a firearm without an FID card, court records show. Madaus ordered Santos-Padgett to serve the first six months of the sentence, records show, and suspended the rest of the sentence for three years contingent upon him completing probation. Records do not indicate that Santos-Padgett, whose probation was to end in April 2025, had been accused of violating probation. Santos-Padgett was ordered to submit to random drug / alcohol screenings, attend anger-management sessions and have no contact with victims in the case, records show.

While on GPS monitoring before his guilty plea, court records show, he was allowed to visit his children in Haverhill, act as a DoorDash delivery driver and attend church at Mount Sinai Church of God and Christ in Worcester on Sundays."

The Scumbag is on Probation from another Crime after only serving 6 months, when he killed the Massage Technician at Angie's. I blame the Judge for this Tragedy!

I wonder what "caught on a license plate reader" means. Was there a constant monitoring of license plates by either a police car or unattended camera? Are they doing mass surveillance of cars?

Little rectangular box mounted about mid way up on light poles with blinking amber lights. Not to mention the cameras mounted above almost every intersection. You are being surveilled 24/7.
