She should go back to Xian, China and help glue terra cotta warriors back together again. That would be a much better use of her time instead of claiming that AMP workers here are trafficking victims and are being forced to work as sex slaves. What a crock of BS. I have never met a girl in any MP here that was being forced to be there. They all came and left on their own free will. They love the money and freedom. Maybe not all the guys they had to work for. We all know the game in this city. Nobody would pick Xian in any MP on Earth. Mamas would tell her "no come"!

MP Man.

Yeah, she should go back to China and make more 12 inch dildos for her lesbian friends. As for her working in the AMP's no customer would care to tap that man hating female, she looks more like a man in the first place. Maybe Keith Kaneshiro would take one for the team after handcuffing her to the bed post and getting turned on by watching her submit to his power behind the badge.

Kathryn Xian needs to calm down. Damn elections ruining our MP fun. Go focus on other shit to fix Hawaii. Human trafficking my ass. Looks like the indies will be getting more business for now.

Aren't they supposed to confiscate cash found at these raids? Where is it?

If police discover large sums of cash in the carrying out of there investigative duties, they can seize these funds, and hold them for a specific period of time. Claimants of the seizes money can petition to have the funds returned to them. The caveat is that the claimants must prove to a judge that the money seized was not obtained by illegal means.

In otherwords, the money is deemed guilty and must be proved innocent before a court of law (I'm not kidding). I doubt any of these places (or girls) have the resources to fight this seizure, and would be hard pressed to prove they were obtained legally.

If this money is not claimed in a defined period of time, law enforcement can claim it and use it as they see fit (personnel over time, new equipment, or normal day to day operational costs). Plus this incentivizes LE to make further raids to stamp out further illegal acts. Motto of the story is don't leave large sums of unaccounted money laying around.

There's a lot of wrong info going on. I like the way the news spins this story that massage parlors got raided. The parlors didn't get raided otherwise they would have took more girls. They went specifically for these 3 girls that just happened to be at the establishments.

Aren't these massege therapists like way over age and exagerate their age so they appear younger but are really way above their age?

Since there were no underage girls there. Why were those three arrested? What illegal substance were they selling? Does pussy juice contain an illegal substance. Okay, it might be considered mind altering.

No secret that some girls run through hulas pimped out, they been busted before, even had trouble with pimps outside nearby.

Yeah, the Xiani may have dated information, but probably can prove it.

Aren't these massege therapists like way over age and exagerate their age so they appear younger but are really way above their age? Sarah who was visiting is almost 40 but is advertised as 20's. Don't know anything about human trafficking but traffic on H1 to & from west side is killaz. Boto out

Why is it that these same MPs get raided and the most popular ones do not bewilders me. All I know is I'm staying away from one of those popular ones that the mama got arrested at for a previous thing. Tell me she won't be chirping and sooner or later shit is going down. Be careful and aware boys. We all think it will never happen to us but those odds are slimmer now with this extra funding.

This was on HNN:

"So there was an arrest at Hula Girl which is known to offer Johns under age girls for sex (which is illegal. It's sex trafficking) and yet it is still open. Hula Girl is still open," Pacific Alliance to Stop Slavery Executive Director Kathryn Xian said.

Xian says Hula Girl has been busted before and while Friday night's arrests could be looked at as progress in the fight against prostitution and sex trafficking, she says there's much more that needs to be done.

"Our laws have been changed to be very very strict on people who provide sex for cash especially when there are children involved. Especially if people are forced. So, why isn't that happening? Why are these establishments still allowed to operate?" Xian said.

Honolulu Mayor Kirk Caldwell says the community can expect to see more raids in the near future.

"We want to crack down on it at its, source which is going to the massage parlor, going into the den where they do the drug dealing or even going to the game room," he said.

But Xian is critical of the city's enforcement strategy, saying more needs to be done.

"What really needs to happen is a true enforcement of our very good, very strict laws that go after the true owners of these establishments as well as the owners of the building who lease property to these illegal establishments," she said.

Don't even suggest it as HPD is probably reading. Current laws allow for the arrest of male customers which could be both costly and embarrassing.

I'm talking about the sellers, not the buyers.
