Posts: 1276Created for funding pot
Sadly like many of program like this, most created with getting funding from feds and gullible Hawaii folks to donate to a cause. Too many out there spreading fear, drama and sympathy and collecting money to line their pockets. Follow the money, and it will leave you disgusted, or jealous of the $200 k salaries at the so called non profits.
Maybe they need votes, maybe funding. Either way, plenty of fear mongering to keep their pockets full of cash.
Can remember less than 5 pimps, and one AMP (empire, mayflower) that lead to convection in past 20 years. I guess that is definition of success for this.

Posts: 616What you have to consider in a case of human trafficking is: 1. Did a person other than the person that is on the plane ticket, pay for it; and 2. The frequency of the visits to a particular area (multiple trips to the same area in one year.).
The multiple trips to Hawaii in one year would generate that report, especially if you are coming from a foreign country without a work Visa. Customs and immigration does maintain records of these frequent trips.
Also, if you are paying for the trips, you could be arrested for human trafficking.

Posts: 243Very good point Red
I am totally against human trafficking of any kind, as I'm sure all of you (hopefully) are too.
But it bothers the fuck out of me when our prosecuter (s) conduct these raids on massage places in the name of "human trafficking".
And they never find any, because you know if they did, they would be tooting their horn and shouting it from the mountaintops that they busted a human trafficking operation, and it would be all over the news. But it never is, so that tells us that they never found "human trafficking" at any of these massage place raids.
But like Red is saying, they put that boogeyman out there, and then there is never a follow up report to say that there was no "human trafficking" found. They just leave that boogeyman out there in people's minds to make it look like they are doing something about it. But they're not.

Posts: 4124(Here's an example of why women shouldn't always be automatically believed when making a rape claim).
A South Dakota woman pleaded guilty to making a false police report after she claimed an assailant raped her in Florida, police say.
XXXXXXXX, 30, was arrested in Sioux Falls on March 10 after reporting sexual battery in Hillsborough County two days before. She was charged with misuse of a 911 system, false report of a crime, and fabricating physical evidence.
In 911 audio released by Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office, XXXXXXXX claimed that she pulled over to the side of I-75 after having some car trouble. She then reported that a male suspect put a towel over her head, shoved her in the car, and raped her while her arms and legs were tied.
XXXXXXXX told police that a particular type of rope was used, and authorities discovered that the product was sold at nearby Walmart stores. During a thorough search of local Walmart locations, police saw surveillance video of XXXXXXXX buying the rope.
"Following this discovery, detectives recovered video from multiple places Mrs. XXXXXXXX visited in the time surrounding the attack, refuting her initial statements," Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office said in a statement. XXXXXXXX attempted to change her statements before eventually admitting to fabricating the entire incident".
According to FOX 13 Tampa Bay, XXXXXXXX, who was married at the time, fabricated the rape to get a free STD test.
"She had consensual sexual intercourse with an individual in Hillsborough County," prosecutor Jessica Couvertier said in court, according to FOX 13. "Then she felt guilty about it because of her marital status, and she wanted to get checked out for a sexually transmitted disease".
"This case is truly disheartening," Sheriff Chad Chronister said in a press release in May. "There are far too many victims faced with this type of trauma. This woman took advantage of our 911 emergency line and diverted attention from actual victims who need the viable resources available in these investigative scenarios".
XXXXXXXX was sentenced to two years of community control, a form of house arrest, and eight years of probation, FOX 13 reported. She also owes the sheriff's office $17,245 for the resources they expended while investigating her report.

Yet if the "authorities" later find that the sexual activity between the women and their customers was consensual and the women were voluntarily working as providers to make more money than they could at any other job for which they were qualified, will there be a follow-up news report: "Authorities determine that no human trafficking was involved in prostitution enterprise"?
Of course not!

Good, good fact based look at the event on Maui.
Just like COVID, everybody is right, everybody is wrong. More people got out than got caught and that is good.
Disappointed no mo leaders yet. You think Ige was bad, this one is no different.

Ho'omanawanui. Patience.
The world will know the number of our lahaina neighbors that have gone, ho'omanawanui e olu olu mai 'oe.
HECO should have cut power due to high winds, there would have never been a fire.
How the ancestors lived will provide the guidance to make lahaina pono again. Returning the water system and the way the ancestors cultivated their food supply will provide the wisdom to move forward in the direction that will heal the 'aina and the people.
