So it looks like the FBI is building a large case against 'Saint. ' This dude is notorious for running girls around Hartford, New London, Meridan, and Manchester. Forced a lot of them into the trade and was known to be super violent. Article below explains all:

Sting. Serious topic.

Gents,

I received messages regarding the String. Understand, I cannot give out any information. It's nobody's business.

I will reiterate, members need to be careful as to where they frequent. This is not finite to Street only. Parlors, Escorts are not exempt.

With that said, I stand by as to what I stated, I will assist if and where I can.

On Wednesday major LE sting of both Johns and prostitutes. Cops crafty on how they orchestrated the sting to get the most Johns snarled in their net.

Reviewing the Hartford daily arrest log for 12/7, they first targeted the SW between 9-11 am on Wethersfield Ave and Franklin-arresting 10 girls. Once Ave and Franklin cleared of working girls they targeted guys between 2-4 pm up by Colt Park entrance. Typical guy cruising Ave will enter by Colt Park and head south towards Autozone and further. When he sees no girls because of earlier arrests he heads back north towards Colt Park and well well a new girl / cop appears. You pull over, desperate for a BJ, discuss sex and $$ which is being recorded and she never gets in car but says go up to Stonington or Morris and I will come to you. Surprise Surprise yr now arrested and and on the local news!! What a nightmare!

Never ever discuss $$ with a sex act when picking up a SW especially if you have never seen her before. Introduce yourself, get a feel for her and leave-come back later after you see her in action and make a decision that she is safe to see. A few missing teeth, grundgy clothes and greasy hair should put you at ease.

Interesting that news only mentioned Johns arrested and no reports of any girls arrested or mug shots like they have done in past. Definitely playing hardball and determined to clean up streets.

As to what I know, We lost one. Not a good situation for him, unfortunately.

Hopefully no one in our group.

Yet again, a reason to avoid the area. https://www.nbcconnecticut.com/news/...de-pd/2910154/.

They have to use the human trafficking buzzword or no one would pay attention.

Press Release from the Polk County Sheriff's office.

I sometimes read through the Orlando forum and some other Florida forums and it is said again and again to not partake in activities in Polk County because of this sheriff. It's amazing that not only do they print out the johns' names but also they have a brief bio of them including where they work.

I'm puzzled that this operation took place over a seven-day period. How were they able to do so for that long without the word getting out? People talk, and news spreads very quickly through social media.

While human trafficking is a serious and real offense that is not to be taken lightly, law enforcement usually uses it as an excuse to round up a bunch of folks, hoping that they might actually catch someone who appears to be trafficked in the process. In this case, they found 2 cases out of 160 arrests, and even that number might be suspect. What a waste of taxpayer resources!

On the press release site, at the bottom there is a graphic with all of the mugshots of the 160 arrested. It looks like they arrested more prostitutes than johns, and out of the whole thing netted 7 human trafficking victims. Seems like a low number for an operation that was so focused on the human trafficking crime, according to the sherrif.

Additionally, as apparently the vast majority of the prostitutes arrested had their photos posted in the graphic (and thus were NOT human trafficking victims, but normal garden-variety criminals just like the johns) I find it truly hypocritical and discriminatory that the polk county sherrif chooses to only publicly embarrass and, for all intents and purposes, convict (as once this is published it won't matter what the outcome of any court proceedings are -- these people will have been effectively convicted without due process) only the men.

Shame on the polk county sherriffs office.

Wow, 160 arrests is a huge number and it will certainly put a huge dent in the demand for escorts but this polk county sheriff is a clown though. Most of the escorts who are local to that area and can't easily relocate will simply resort to other means to fund their drug habit, most likely shoplifting, burglary and or selling drugs.

Looks like they had some fun in the south side of Spfld Thursday night. Strongly encourage others to avoid the area.
