[QUOTE=StanKost;4292550]For obvious reasons I don't discuss the topic with other people but the overwhelming public opinion of people who had never tried the hobby is exactly that escorts and poor abused, pimped out women and the Johns are a bunch of guys who pay for sex because they can't get it "the normal way". I made the mistake once to comment on line that the vast majority of prostitutes in the developed countries excluding the junkies are doing it voluntarily and consensually and was ripped to pieces by angry women who "felt terrible for the poor women forced to have sex for money ".[/QUOTE]You got clobbered by the typical position of the feminist movement! Once verified many of these women are trust fund babies, never worked a day in their lives and live in a private country club environment where they really never engage with anyone else except like minded people.

Human trafficking.

Can't find online but in Tribune headline To flip masseuse, a soft touch tried. A quote "we will guide you an apartment,. We will provide food and education. We will bring your children to US. Just tell us you are human trafficking victim and testify against your captors".

Sounds tempting but she wouldn't do it.

Surprise, surprise!:[/QUOTE]They intimidate someone or several someones that are in a position to be swayed because most of these providers are not from the USA.

Total bs, however this does exist and we may as well get used to it. The country is turning towards the direction that no one is responsible for their own choices. Everyone is a victim! And now with a governmental agency that victim is also a client! Sucks really! Imo.

"Adult Business Ordinance Approved In DuPage County.

The new ordinance hopes to curb crime at adult businesses, since the county can't ban them. ".

-A six-person panel of DuPage County Board members had been set up in January to do research on local adult businesses and their practices. In March board members invited adult businesses owners throughout the county to attend a meeting with the panel. '.

Translation: County board members spent 3 mos and untold tax dollars visiting strip joints, lingerie lounges and (probably) jackshacks and this is what they come up with:

++ 'As part of the ordinance, performers, dancers, bouncers, and managers will be required to wear a special I'd card while they are working. '.

Yeah-EVERY STRIPPER wants to be wearing a SPECIAL IDcard while dancing -maybe it will even have their SS#, DOB, and mothers maiden name clearly printed on it for all the customers to review.

And THIS I'd will 'curb crime', according to the County.

And I'm actually Larry Flynts' unacknowledged lovechild, and presently in a committed relationship with Stormy Daniels.

From the Times in Hammond on July 31st. Busy again calling good old prostitution. Sex trafficking!

7 arrested in Lansing during nationwide sex trafficking sting; 45 total arrests in Cook County.

COOK COUNTY — Forty-five people were arrested in Cook County as part of a five-week, nationwide sting trying to decrease sex trafficking in the United States.

Of the 45 arrests, seven were made by the Lansing Police Department from June 23 through July 28, officials said. Other local agencies — Matteson, Orland Hills and Broadview — accounted for nine arrests, with the Cook County Sheriff's Office making up the rest.

In 2011, Sheriff Thomas Dart said he started the National Johns Suppression Initiative to "draw national attention to the role sex buyers play in fueling sex trafficking. ".

Since then, 18 stings have been done, with more than 9,500 Johns being arrested throughout the country. Dart said the latest operation included 26 law enforcement agencies from 11 states, netting at least 503 arrests.

Departments conducted street-level reverse stings and posted decoy ads on sex trafficking websites to lure Johns trying to pay for sex. Dart said some of the internet ads were even linked to interactive artificial intelligence (AI) bots.

"The AI bot, created by childsafe. Ai, interacts with Johns seeking sex and eventually sends a deterrence message warning of the legal and social ramifications of buying sex," Dart said. "The Cook County Sheriff's Office and five other agencies utilized the bot, engaging a combined total of 3,079 potential sex buyers. ".

States that participated in addition to Illinois included Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Maryland, New York, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Texas and Washington.

The areas mentioned in our areas out south I would tend to believe these also had to be internet related reverse stings as well. Correct me if I am wrong, however those far south burbs would not have much if any street traffic. I also think decoys would stick out down there. I mean yea the usual strolls in chicago proper I can see them dropping in decoys in hopes of catching some fish, however even out by me I doubt uncle does much if any reverse stings over on heim. That all said this is all a trend with law enforcement, imo. Setups! Again I keep harping on it as some of you guys do as well. Sex trafficking? The street girls mostly are drunks or druggies or both. They are involved mostly in abusive relationships. Girls on eros and high end sites to my eyes and ears do not look like they are being forced to make thousands a week! Yes, lock up and throw away the keys to anyone that sexually touches a kid under 18 for any reason and also people that actually are involved in harboring people (legally or illegally) that scare, force or threaten to expose the victim. Those people should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law! However, the blurring of the sex industry and human trafficking is becoming more and more evident. I mean over by jimmy's I personally see drug deals going down all the time in broad daylight! Cops everywhere and then mongers are getting pulled over for making an illegal you to see if she is in the car yet? I mean. Not good.

X-post.

Here are a few thoughts I posted a bit ago in Rokcford forum RE their lingerie debacles. A little context is lost, apologies. In Chicago, clearly all of this has already happened but I guess the powers that be want to make a case that x equals why.

In addition to the mayor, chief etc a lot of this comes down to the old phrase follow the money. My guess is that economic drivers from chambers of congress, business owners, real estate developers are really driving this. Rockford has a lot of potential for trendy brewpubs with cleverly-named IPAs, open floor plan restaurants with communal tables, and all the other bullshit that will make property values nudge upward and street parking to become more expensive. In five years the downtown area and business district will have one of those names like BizRock or NoRo or something and it will be referred to without any mention of Rockford. But first, you have to get rid of the things that make developers go soft in their reclaimed hardwood. That's why this is all done under the label of Hum at and Trffk. It's a framing device to make it palatable to everyone, pro sex-work liberals who have condo money, god fearing conservatives, and everyone in between.

I talked to a few providers about this with one who has been in this industry for a long time and she said the strategy has been used for quite a while and might be just scare tactics, she never had issues. Handcuff thing might not be an issue, they are looking for things like having many visitors, no luggage, no eye contact / avoid eye contact, requesting a lot of towels, denying cleaning / DND, etc. Another provider mentioned she tips very generously to the cleaning ladies. A lot of cleaning staff probably know what's going on but they might turn a blind eye.

We have been posting about this area regarding the massage places for awhile. It's starting to surface. Would like to follow this case. I for one would like to know how they actually get her. There are some obvious red flags here- unusual traffic in a residence and most importantly or relevant at least- where did she get the money? Business license, dept of labor issues, taxes and of course the underlying issue that the kink scene is a kin to the hobby as we know it. Thanks for this post as I want to start to track this case. If I see anything of relevance I will post my findings here.

This place has been active for several years and the owner just got busted. I passed this location several times, but I am not into what they offer. Any of you mongers know could Modelsclubelite be next? Jhobby do you know? Here is the federal indictment and a news article.

Reading over the case, the prosecutors seemed to really cover each corner on the indictment; between the currency fraud, written admission of sex acts in exchange for money while crossing state lines, Gmail server, and even the grand jury. She's really fucked. Makes me think it's either a politician or a well know businessman that they want to get out of her. But damn! She averaged $400,000 a year!

[QUOTE=Randolph;4458959]This lady was smart enough to craft a successful business operation. She managed to be profitable and yet did about the stupidest thing imaginable. She deposited the money into her bank in cash. You'd think with all the presumably successful guys she dealt with she might have asked one of the horny lawyers or cpa's a couple questions.

Over the years I have had that type of conversation many times with providers. I even had a "friend" who flew to Zurich a couple times a year to make deposits (before the swiss banking laws changed).[/QUOTE]Without boring the crew here I want to make general comments covered on my two quoted post members. The first before I forget about the horny lawyer. So funny the pro I knew when she got busted in a set up that she was involved in when she started in the industry working for a downtown agent. The lawyer that got her off was one of her best customers down the line! Also this woman may have had a good business acumen, however she was caught in structuring of her deposited money. So say I have a business account with a particular bank. And actually one of the banks she used I have had a company account with for more years than this woman has been alive! Under another name that merged into the now bank. Anyway so I have this account and I have customers so I take their checks and I deposit in this one account. There would be no reason for me to have several of these accounts at the same bank as well as usng other banks for the same unless I was hiding something. The money is insured up to a point with fdic. If we look at those accounts most if not all had less than that insurance. Also having an at yahoo or at gmail or at google or at anything except ones own securely hosted and maintained website was completely dumb! Ones own paid for real website with ones own paid for url comes with 50 email addresses at very little cost per year to the person. I know my business has had one for over 20 years. Again I see this huge name coming out, the name being prosecuted and like the big college scam that came out she spends 2 weeks in minimum security and she is back to whole again. She's lawyered up now and there are people on the move that will want to rep her to further move along their law careers. Also she will get a book deal and have an agent and that will get shopped around for tv appearances and movie deals! It's like sydney bittle bellows (sorry spelling is all wrong). The hottie from new york! She became a star! All imo of course. Stosh. For what it's worth.
