Just saw this today. This will be interesting to see how it shakes down.

I'm surprised that all massage places don't just become aromatherapy. There are zero licensing restriction on aromatherapy places, as far as I know. When I tried Zen on Saticoy and White Oak back in the day, they had numerous signs saying, "No massage" and "Aromatherapy Only". Yet they were a FS place. To be clear: I am 100% opposed to human trafficking, and will report it if I ever get a whiff of it. However, putting the squeeze on legit working girls and forcing them underground is not the solution.

Aromatherapy places tend to be less paranoid, because if you go to a place for an aromatherapy session, and after you are told to go in the room and get comfortable, the provider walks in and you are naked, then the message and intent are pretty clear. (and yet completely deniable if it was a bust, as long as you don't proposition anyone). It's the equivalent of a cop check.

Good read, sheds a different light.

"A lot of resources are being poured into these efforts, which are being utilized not to actually decrease human trafficking in any significant ways, but to arrest people who are vulnerable for other reasons," said Dr. Susie Baldwin, the medical director of L. A. County's Office of Women's Health, when presented with KPCC / LAist's findings.

Because he was the John, not the prostitute. Johns solicit and prostitutes engage in prostitution (providing for $).

The problem is nobody posts links to Articles that says "the cops wasted a bunch of money watching a massage parlor for six months and only caught guys getting hand jobs. ".

None of the "victims" are talking. The video doesn't support the "squalor" the cops said they were living in.

End of the day I think Kraft ends up owning that town, they smacked a tiger with more lawyers than they have.

What was it all about?

Surprise, surprise there's an election this month.

The more I read about this, the more scared I am. What are you guys doing to prevent getting caught?

You can do all the prevention you want. But, you can't prepare for the unknown that is when le busts down the front door.

They have already done it some states. And, yes it has been done in LA as well. But, seems they (le) haven't been really able to really put the final nail in the coffin.

Behind Illicit Massage Parlors Lie a Vast Crime Network and Modern Indentured Servitude.

What did I learn? The cop had a rubmaps account. He was probably a jilted former customer. Also a lot of guys like prostate massages. No need to lay low. This investigation lasted over a year right? The chance you might get caught is still slim. Though now everybody knows what goes on in these places lmao. Walk of shame time!

also, if the cops have you clear a building due to a bomb threat or any other reason, your massage parlor is under investigation! stop jerking customers immediately!
