You are wrong on law. Common misconceptions of the trafficking etc sham. No force and
[quote=minotaurus;1892598]dave, you constantly "report" on this stuff and make statements like this. you are largely misinformed on this particular topic however. there is no "circuit" (as in implying handlers and force moving them around). do they work at different spas? yes, sure, sometimes. they do this by choice and because they are essentially independent contractors. the reasons vary, but the most typical and common one is: the spa owner (who is virtually always also a former working girl, not some organized "handler" mechanism) simply has a spot open in her rotation and the timing matches with the desire for the particular girl wanting to work.[/quote]this is exactly what a mann act and trafficking federal charges are for. choice makes no difference for "trafficking" if it is forced then it is "extreme trafficking" vs just trafficking if anyone helps someone drive, arrange for transport is a phone operator that sets up appts etc. all this is trafficking and if consenting adults regular trafficking not extreme. but still serious prison time.
more often massage places are charged as criminal enterprises up to 10 years in prison or decades more when bring intervening indictments after raid place, find the money trail and everyone touching the money is charged often with many counts of money laundering. so in one case prosecutor is saying take a felony plea deal or face 40+ years in prison if convicted (lower level temple gals with no direct evidence of any prostitution just association). similar to the big massage busts cases from a few years ago now settled and now a slew more in superior court (typically takes about 2 years to go to trial and first year nothing much happens). but during the 2 year wait, almost impossible for gals to get any regular jobs since criminal checks show pending charges.
this is a huge money raising sham because people think "trafficking" means forced when it does not. $millions of grants and $millions of donations raised by groups like catholic charities in phoenix (project rose city contract for indoctrination 6 month course to "save from prostitution"). the vast majority busted are from in private consenting adults ads having nothing to do with under aged or forced anything. reviews from mostly the bigboard are routinely mentioned now in police reports and probably cause statements and indictments.
$millions are being wasted going after in private consenting adults whose only "victim" is the state of arizona that montgomery is gun hoe yo prosecute as felonies whenever he can. no police agencies all over the usa are coming to phoenix to learn how to trick a massage or escort to say the wrong thing so can bust them.
i have zillions of examples, in the police reports, gj indictments etc i am trying to follow. the public if they knew how much is wasted would not support it but all the media hype is about children and trafficking when only maybe 5% of arrests have anything to do with ****d and maybe 90% have no pimps, no forced work, just happy consenting adults.
on the other hand there are really bad pimped gals on bp. but le for bonuses based on quotas is reported on how many arrests they can make seem to go after anyone whether a real pimped ****d on bp or happy massage or escorts, by free choice choosing to provide a benefit to our culture via safe, private sexuality options.
in the ongoig temple case about 32 computers from gals sent to crime lab and something like 8tb of info recovered. took 6-12 months to do and while rape kits from real victims went untested the crime lab got all erased data etc from the temple computers. all was tossed!!! the 2nd judge disallowed with wisdom that instead presenting maybe a million pages of data in discovery, just identify what will be used in court and prosecutor agreed to just go with the original 100k+ pages of discovery and not million more after all the work of the crime lab.
temple, studio, many massage parlors busts have absolutely no one ****d and certainly no one forced or coerced. and in temple case almost no evidence of actual prostitution for most of the defendents facing years in prison or lifetime felony pleas for probation.
FBI involved in consenting trafficking China Massage case
FBI has been involved in massage cases. BTW per Court records most of the gals that spoke only Cantonese appear to be in the USA legally and no force or coercion involved but FBI is.
The chief of the Maricopa County Major Crimes Division wrote a letter to the FBI seeking information on the Federal sex trafficking investigation. No response yet, at least in the public record.
In letter to FBI Country explains how the massage parlors were a prostitution criminal enterprise based on sex offered to undercover officer, an undercover applied for a job and acts of prostitution were discussed and various 'Johns' were questioned and admitted to acts of prostitution.
Again the sham is sex trafficking may imply some sort of pimp or forced but under the Federal trafficking law it applies to fully consenting adults who are simply trying to make a living a choosing massage but are easy bust targets by their tipping discussion for sadly illegal acts like a hand release.
One defendant was earlier ticketed for massage without a license but case disappeared since no translator available. Now of course faced with serious felonies with prison terms and potential $150, 000 fine PLUS 83% surcharge (which includes 10% to the "clean election" fund) plus $20. Same as in the Temple, Studio etc. Felony cases.
Our government at work to keep Maricopa County safe from those dangerous hand jobs
