As far as victim, not sure, I assume she is rehabing, seeing a therapist and probably moved away. Hono1.

And he's out on $500,000 bail. You think GF, escort, or tinder date? Sounds like it got rough and violent. Hope she is Ok. What say you?

This case is what I was referring too. Is the victim?

Having a good defense attorney will win the trial greatly I guaranteed his family will hire the best Green, Bakke, or some other high profile attorney. Also maybe the girl was a sugar bae from seeking some of those girls play too much games and they are looking for trouble. He snapped when he didn't get what was agreed upon. I don't condone any of them but there's more to the story than what the media portrays.

In April 2023, the USA Department of Homeland Security informed Japan's National Police Agency that there were a series of cases where Japanese women were denied entry to the USA Over suspicions they traveled there for prostitution. This has brought the suspected involvement of domestic brokers in the scheme to the surface. Usui and others apparently told the women prior to their trips: "The USA Is tightening immigration checks. You should emphasize that you are on a trip by checking sightseeing spots in advance, among other steps. ".

A woman in her 20's who was introduced to prostitution in the USA Told the MPD, "I've had a yearning for the USA Since I was little." Another woman in her 30's explained to investigators, "I applied (for the job) because I was in debt from entertainment expenses."

I also would be a little wary of any hooker who thinks her desired demographic is at the 99 cent store.

Yes, I was thinking the same as I was reading it. However, that area has many immigrants, so maybe that name is an awkward English translation from another language, such as Spanish.

Good point, but a sleazy mongrel of a monger like me, who especially enjoys inexpensive street providers, would probably be interested (smile).

According to the news report, "prostitutes overrun every block," "prostitutes openly solicit sex from passersby," and one area "has become so renowned for its prostitution that locals have nicknamed the area 'the market of sweethearts,' and viral online videos advise prospective johns on how to make use of sex workers' services there". The report said that "sex workers" were seen "standing outside storefronts soliciting men". "Residents say the prostitutes usually take their clients into makeshift brothels for sex," "allegedly operate during all hours of the day," and "often hang out in front of area supermarkets". A local resident says "prostitutes blatantly flaunt their bodies on the streets at all times of the day". He continued: "They line up all along 90th Street in front of a pizzeria, a 99-cent store, and just try to pull men. You'll see multiple women in scantily clad clothing. Now it's cold, they are a bit covered up, but it will get worse in the summer". According to an anti-prostitution activist: "The cops won't arrest the Johns and the District Attorney won't prosecute the Johns". Personally, I think there should be an area like this in Honolulu!
