Having seen ladies from most of the different Thai groups in the area, I'm pretty sure some are being trafficked. But most are not.
All the more reason to stick with the trusted "A" group of Kk, Tara, Nikki, Patty, and their friends.
This showed up in the news

FAIRFAX, Va. (ABC7) — Police say a masseur working at Massage Green Spa in Fairfax City has been arrested and charged with sexual battery and unlawful massage.
A 40-year-old woman told police the man engaged in "extensive unwanted touching" and related actions during a massage on May 25.
Following an investigation, police arrested and charged Anhua Cao, 38, of Fairfax on June 28.
He is being held without bond.
The do-gooders are at it again
And this time, they're working for the larger of the two local daily bird-cage liners, ahem, newspapers.

Trafficking: Reality vs hype
[URL]http://www.telegraph.co.uk/women/life/forced-work-sex-slave-new-york/[/URL]
If the information in this article is accurate, this is an example of a real trafficking situation. The victim was reportedly recruited by an employment agency in her home country and promised legit employment in the US. Once she arrived, she said she was sold for sex work and kept under control by means of coercion, intimidation and force (until she escaped). I thought it was worth posting as an example of the real deal since the media constantly tries to portray every part of the hobby as "trafficking" even when it involves consenting adults making free choices.
Two more articles re: anti-trafficking hype
Articles are a bit long but have good info, especially about how "rescued victims" are treated.

In too many instances, "anti-trafficking" campaigns are nothing more than a way to guarantee a continual stream of funding for local / state / federal agencies. The stated goal of helping victimized women is often secondary and, in some cases, a complete illusion.
Interesting challenge to prostitution laws in CA

Interesting court challenge
[QUOTE=JmSuttr;3592374]Yes, but one big difference is that even if the bill in DC passes the City Council and Mayor, the Fed govt still has the final say on DC legislation. I could be wrong but I don't see that happening during the current administration.
The CA situation is a Federal court case challenging the law by saying that it violates the rights of consenting adults. If it keeps going on this path then it could even end in the Supreme Court. And, since we already have one state where prostitution is legal (NV) it'll be interesting to see how that turns out, if it makes it that far.[/QUOTE]Prostitution is legal in Nevada, but only in certain mostly rural counties. It remains illegal in Clark County, where Las Vegas in located.
This court case is worth following. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe it was a California case which eventually triggered the Supreme Court ruling legalizing same-sex marriage.
