Prostitution sting nets nearly two dozen men from Boston, suburbs
From a bust February 4, 2014.
And we argue that LEO doesn't have the time, $$ or ability to use online advertising.
The last sentence tells it all.
"Research consistently shows prostitution to be linked with violence, coercion, sexual assault, and drug addiction," said Suffolk District Attorney Dan Conley. "The average age of entry into the sex trade is in the young teens. . If the physical and emotional risks associated with prostitution don't cause would-be johns to rethink their actions, here's another reason: The person who placed that online ad could be a Boston Police detective.".
