It seems that several of the girls were street. Level providers. Based on their photos. Uncle LEO probably feel if they collar a few on south main in anderson they might as well hit a spa or two. 1. Just for fun 2. Too keep them in check 3. To prove they can. The reality is they could make cases every week at these places if they so desired. It is shooting fish in a barrel. And is pretty simple. Not much investigation needed. Read these public boards at 9 am and make several cases by 2. We provide the spa location and a girls name. Doesn't take sherlock holmes to make a case. It is a risk they / we all run. For them it is just the cost of business. If you do not like the law get it changed (good luck) I don't fault LEO doing their job. Of course I don't want to get caught but I fully understand the score. And you should too. What surprises me is they seemed to only arrest providers. While they are easier to find, example I have observed several street walkers practically jump in roadway and wave down cars with both arms. The new " woke" mindset seems to be that all providers are trafficking victims and need saved, but that anyone that helps promote provide a location or buys the service is automatically a trafficker and evil. The doj just issued a ton of grants to local agencies to combat these issues. I predict they will focus more on the buyer. If they locked up a bunch of mongers it would scare the rest of us. Plus considering the nature of the crime most do not fight charge the defendant pays quickly and hopes it goes away. We neither have time or money to mount a defense like Robert kraft. The only thing about these latest arrests was that it was not covered extensively by the local media and the high sheriff did not hold a press conference telling us all what a impact this enforcement action had on the community. Stay safe.
