Prostitution Stings Throughout Massachusetts

[OhMyrdy]

From a bust February 4, 2014.

And we argue that LEO doesn't have the time, $$ or ability to use online advertising.

The last sentence tells it all.

"Research consistently shows prostitution to be linked with violence, coercion, sexual assault, and drug addiction," said Suffolk District Attorney Dan Conley. "The average age of entry into the sex trade is in the young teens. . If the physical and emotional risks associated with prostitution don't cause would-be johns to rethink their actions, here's another reason: The person who placed that online ad could be a Boston Police detective.".

"Suffolk County District Attorney xx xxx touted the arrests and released the men's names and pictures to local media. It was meant to put all potential sex buyers on notice — those seeking girls and women of any age could expect to be treated as criminals, part of a statewide get-tough-on-"johns" campaign.".

Seekonk police arrest two men and three women in prostitution sting.

Friday, November 15,2013.

SEEKONK — Two men and three women were arraigned Friday on charges stemming from a prostitution sweep that involved arrests in two Seekonk motels.

Three women were charged in Taunton District Court with selling sex for money and two men were charged with receiving proceeds from prostitution.

The arrests occurred Thursday night after police answered ads on what was referred to as an "escort" section of a webpage, backpage.com, as part of a prostitution sting.

The women were released on $40 bail, each, and the men, whom the women identified as their pimps, were released on bail ranging from $500 to $1,000.

Xxxx, 33, Newport, are. I., was held on $1,000 cash bail on a charge of deriving income, while xxx xxx, 39, in Fall River, posted bail of $500 on the same charge.

Xxxxx, 36, in Providence; xxx xxx, 18, , in Newport, are. I., and xxx xxxx, 35, , in Fall River, were charged with accepting money for sex.

According to Seekonk police, an undercover officer arranged by cellphone to meet with each of the women, whose names were listed in the classified section of backpage.com and indicated a Seekonk location.

The officer met with two of the women at Motel 6 and the third suspect at Knights Inn.

All three women agreed to sex in return for fees ranging from $80 to $200, police allege.

XXX was arrested at Motel 6 on Fall River Avenue after officers spotted a man leaving the room of one of the suspects, according to a police report.

Xxxx was taken into custody at Knights Inn on Mink Street after police reported finding a man hiding in the bathroom of one of the female suspects.

Judge Gregory Phillips continued xxxxx case to Feb. 3 and xxxxx and xxxx charges to Feb. 7.

XXXX case was continued to Dec. 16 and xxxx is due back in court Jan. 13.

Boy, they really maxed out on the last guy. Sex for Fee, possession, PLUS school and park zone drug violations.

Word to wise, watch your surroundings. If you respond to an ad in the cities, check your distance.

The one thhing that stands out is that they are going after the most money they can get for their budgets!

Prostitute = $200 misdemeanor fine.

Johns / clients = $1000 fine and a free ticket to a movie.

The more they can scare off the less they have to deal with.

Hang onto those numbers of your favorites as everyone will be flying UTR.

Didn't you post this someplace else today? Not bad 8 months 260 post's.When are you going to start adding something other than posting news reports of the same thing in every forum or reiteration of your own posts?

I almost forgot that you had an obsession with how many post I make. Like does it make a difference?

Since Street walkers are not my thing I guess I have nothing for you. Stay safe and hopefully I won't read about you in the next roundup on Main Street.

Seven Boston men and another 11 from the suburbs have been charged with seeking sex for a fee from Boston Police detectives in an online prostitution sting, Suffolk County District Attorney Daniel F. Conley announced Tuesday.

The defendants were arrested during two operations executed by the Boston Police Human Trafficking Unit and district detectives.

The first, undertaken downtown on Jan. 24, netted the following defendants, all charged with seeking sex for a fee:

Xxxx, 45, of Braintree, also charged with possession of a Class E substance with intent to distribute.

Xxxx, 50, of Millville.

Xxxx, 22, of Chestnut Hill.

Xxxx, 41, of Newton, also charged with resisting arrest.

Xxxx, 51, of Lexington.

Xxxx, 52, of Newbury, and. H.

Xxxx, 52, of the South End.

Xxxx, 39, of Plymouth.

Xxxx, 33, of Brighton.

Xxx was arraigned in the Boston Municipal Court on Jan. 27; xxxx on Jan. 28, and the remainder on Jan. 29. Xxx, xxxx, xxxx – who had no criminal records – resolved their cases on that date by paying $1,000 fines and watching a video from Project TRUST about the risks associated with prostitution.

Conley's office and the state's Interagency Human Trafficking Policy Task Force have called for a first-offender program or "john school" like those used in other states, but such a program has yet to be implemented in Massachusetts.

Most defendants agreed to pay $200 or more for sex when they contacted Boston Police online, but xxx allegedly offered to pay with xxxx, a prescription medication sometimes used as a tranquilizer, and I'm allegedly negotiated a price of just $45.

The remaining BMC defendants were released on their own recognizance and are due back in court on various dates between Feb. 21 and May 5.

The second operation targeted individuals seeking to trade illicit drugs for sex and was undertaken in South Boston on Jan. 31, when the following defendants were arrested for seeking sex for a fee:

Xxxx, 30, of Brighton.

Xxxx, 29, of Dorchester, also charged with possession of a Class be substance for Percocet recovered at his arrest.

Xxxx, of Dorchester, also charged with possession of a Class be substance with intent to distribute for cocaine recovered at his arrest.

Xxxx, 47, of Stow.

Xxxx, 43, of Middleton, also charged with possession of a Class E substance with intent to distribute for Adderall recovered at his arrest.

Xxxx, 26, of Chelmsford, also charged with three counts of possession of a Class be substance with intent to distribute for cocaine, ecstasy, and Percocet recovered at his arrest.

Xxxx, 32, of Brookline, also charged with possession of a Class be substance with intent to distribute for cocaine found at his arrest.

Xxxx, 33, of Stoughton.

Xxxx, 37, of South Boston, also charged with possession of a Class be substance with intent to distribute for cocaine recovered at his arrest.

In recent years, Boston Police have shifted from a model targeting those working as prostitutes to one that seeks to drive down demand by targeting johns. Under Conley's leadership, Suffolk prosecutors are using the same tactic by seeking penalties that are stronger for those who buy or seek to buy sex than those with similar criminal histories who sell or seek to sell it.

Each of these defendants was arraigned yesterday in South Boston Municipal Court, where all nine are due back on various dates throughout March and April.

"Research consistently shows prostitution to be linked with violence, coercion, sexual assault, and drug addiction," Conley said. "The average age of entry into the sex trade is in the young teens. Our diversion programs for exploitation victims are nationally-recognized, but the other side of that strategy is reducing demand through stings like this one. If the physical and emotional risks associated with prostitution don't cause would-be johns to re-think their actions, here's another reason: the person who placed that online ad could be a Boston Police detective.".

In a landmark 2006 policy shift, Conley voluntarily adopted a "safe harbor" policy for prostituted youth, treating them as victims of exploitation rather than offenders; that voluntary policy was later expanded statewide in Massachusetts' 2011 human trafficking legislation, to which Conley and Attorney General Martha Coakley contributed key language.

Members of Conley's staff also direct the Support to End Exploitation Now program, a multi-agency task force that connects young exploitation victims with a wide array of services and has twice been named a Top 50 Innovative Government Program by a Harvard University think tank.

Xxx was arrested on Friday, Dec. 13, after answering a post that read, "crazy new lifeTime –w4 m- 21 (Brookline)," which was posted by Brookline Police. A capital T is used as a reference to methamphetamines, according to the police report.

On Thursday, Dec. 12, when xxxx arrived at the location, he was arrested. Police allegedly found cocaine and marijuana in his possession. He was charged with sexual conduct for a fee, and possession of a Class be and Class the drug, as well as a drug free school and park zone violation.

Police allege human trafficking at Natick spa.

Posted Jan. 29,2014 at 12:01 am.

Updated at 7:41 AM.

Chinese women, lured to Natick with a promise of a good job at a day spa, were instead held against their will to serve in the sex trade and even forced to pay to live as virtual prisoners.

The women were forced to live at the Oasis Spa at 10 Cochituate St., ordered to perform sexual acts on men and were charged to sleep on massage tables in what became their unwanted homes, prosecutor xxx xxxxx alleged in Framingham District Court on Tuesday.

Natick Police arrested two women, xxxx xxxx, 45, xxxxx, and. Why., and xx xxxx, 39, who lives at the spa, on Monday at 5:12 pm After an investigation, xxxx said.

Natick Police recently received a complaint from a former spa employee. She told police she had answered an advertisement in a Chinese language newspaper to work at the Oasis Spa. She was promised a job where she would be doing facials and nails, xxxxx said.

However, when she arrived at the spa, she quickly learned that wasn't true.

"She was told she was not allowed to leave," said xxxxx. "She was only given bread and potatoes to eat.".

Instead of doing normal spa work, the woman was ordered to perform massages and perform "happy endings," where she masturbated men who came into the massage parlor. The women were paid $20 per man, while the rest of the money went to the massage parlor, the prosecutor said.

The women "were then charged $10 a night to sleep on the massage tables," xxxx said.

On Monday, an undercover Natick Police officer went into the massage parlor. After being offered to have a sexual act performed on him by xxxx, which was witnessed by xxxxx, both women were arrested.

Xxxxx, whose name is listed as the licensee in charge of the massage parlor, is charged with deriving support from sexual servitude. Xxxx is only charged with sexual conduct for a fee.

Both women were scheduled to be arraigned in Framingham District Court on Tuesday, but no Mandarin language interpreter was available. Xxxxx said she planned to ask for $100,000 bail for xxxxxx.

"There were people being forced to live there against their will," said xxxxx. "This is a very serious case.".

Xxxx lawyer, xxxxx xxxxx, argued against having an arraignment because xxxx did not speak English. He said he could not speak to her and she could not understand anything that was going on.

Judge xxxxxx xxxxx released xxxx without bail but ordered xxxxx held without bail until today to be arraigned with the assistance of an interpreter.

SHARON.

Sharon and Walpole police along with Norfolk County Police Anti-Crime Task Force detectives made six arrests on Jan. 9 and 10 related to an investigation of a prostitution ring allegedly operating at the Econo Lodge on Route 1 in Sharon.

On Jan. 9 and 10 as the result of a joint investigation between Sharon / Walpole and NORPAC (Norfolk County Police Anti-Crime Task Force) detectives, six individuals were arrested at the Econo Lodge on Route 1 in Sharon.

Not sure if this has been posted already, but I stumbled across it looking for something else in the Sharon paper.

There not going to accomplish anything. Fucking morons.

I would question if sites like these are considered legal.

Virtually everything we do online is recorded somewhere for someone to see. Google your own name or email address and see what comes up. SCARY!

[RoadStar01]

There not going to accomplish anything. Fucking morons.

These "John" sites pop up now and then, and there's always a "Take down" option that is offered for a fee.

All it is is blackmail, pure and simple.

Makes me rage.
