Re the "big' FBI bust of UA Prostitutes
I read in a news story that NONE of the UA "prostitutes" were actually working on the Street. It did not even seem to indicate that they were working on Craigslist (or any of the replacements fo CL listings) .
I am venturing a guess that either they were "working" for drug dealers, or in drug houses (where the SPD has caught UA providers "working" before) . Or possibly a more sophisticated "ring" that provides "special" providers for $$$$pecial Clients. It is also possible that the UA providers were foreign born. However, that last guess would be at odds with Media "reports" that many of these UA providers had been recruited at the Westlake Center?
The whole story seems odd, and very sensational. If there are any UA providers working the streets, there are very few of them, and the Local PD cracks down on them AND any mongers VERY HARD! I find it hard to believe that Seattle provides 1/3 One THIRD of "ALL" UA providers in the USA! And further that the Westlake Center is a "hot bed recruting area"? While there are Some teenagers who go down there, Bellvue Square, South Center, Northgate, and other Malls would seem to be more likely. There is not even a movie "cineplex" or many shops likely to attarct teens.
Not to mention a LOT of resources commited to less than 100 arrests nation wide!
It does seem the streets of King County are nearly empty of providers, and I am guessing its more than just the weather keeping them away!
I checked the jail registry

There were 2 pimps in King County Jail on Monday, about 5 men for rape of a child. 3 SW for prostitution and 3 SW for drug charges, all picked up over the weekend
Where is there more money
[QUOTE=Colnago;1092319]Of the girls I have talked to who no longer frequent the AAA, they site lack of money as the issue. Back in the day they were making $1, 000. 00 a night. Now, girls are about half that if they are lucky. Interesting though, I was talking to an out of towner who said she was making killing down there. It could be because she is a new face or pickings are so slim that guys pick her up right away, fearing they won't get a 2nd chance.[/QUOTE]Another words, they were probably 18 or 19 back in the day. Now they have to be the new girl in town to make that kind of money.
We may be mongers, but we were pigs first.
