The article says some abstract things about underage girls, but it isn't clear whether the charges relate to an actual victim, or whether it was a cop posing as a minor girl on the phone wanting to turn tricks in exchange for drugs. At this point, I just don't believe anything put out by the police on this issue.

Putting this in the news section. There are women getting scammed too. Cards get traded for money like old food stamps used to. Probably because those no longer exist.

Just a FYI, beginning September 1st, 2021; buying is now a felony in Texas. Selling is still a misdemeanor.

Be safe.[/QUOTE]What a bunch of BS! That side of the aisle that doesn't believe in something wants to prohibit it or make it felonies for the rest of us, while another city made it temporary legal because of the pandemic, now has made it permanently legal. Consenting adults of age should have the right to do whatever they want.

Its only one state over but they could be coming here or already are here.

A change in state law passed in the spring requires those convicted to undergo human trafficking education.

"We cannot arrest our way out of human trafficking," Yost said, noting that arrests are nevertheless important as a deterrence. "If there are no buyers, there will be no trafficking."

Don't buy into the hype. Usually when these cases come up they are simply prostitution. And have nothing to do with sex trafficking. The truth comes out when people are charged. E. g. Robert Kraft. The government only conflates prostitution with trafficking to gain more power.
