Addictive behavior? Ya think??
Martin County Sheriff William Snyder rejected that: "We were able to determine with certainty that 9 out of 10 men who went into the parlors where we did the search warrants were there for sex. ".
There is a "community" of clients, of johns, who frequent businesses like this, who find out about them (mostly) online and often leave reviews of the "services" provided.
"There's a statistical possibility some of these men were testing the waters for the first time," said Snyder. Most likely, he said, they were repeat customers.
"Sex can be an addictive behavior," he said. "That's what I think you're seeing here. ".
Another vote for "way overblown"
Agree with night and BBinsider's positions. I could be wrong, but I just don't see the Florida AMP sting with hidden cameras happening here in Atlanta. 1. Doubtful any Arthur Blank-level individuals would be caught up in it here, therefore no major media exposure. 2. They way they ran the Florida operation, it was a significant investment of man-hours. Unless they uncover & bust a huge human trafficking operation, what has that signficant investment of resources gotten them. A bunch of mongers busted on misdemeanor charges that will plea down to nothing? I would think a police agency would have to justify such a significant expense, vs. Devoting those limited resources to go after unsolved rapes, murders, etc. Knowing what I know of local CAMPS, the ladies aren't trafficked and certainly don't need to be "rescued", despite what is hysterically portrayed in the media. They're in it for the money, don't live at their shops and many drive nice cars.
Anyone know someone higher up than beat cop in one of the metro Atlanta agencies? I'd be very curious to know what their opinion is on the likelihood of Fulton, Cobb, Gwinnett agencies following the Jupiter Police "template".
[QUOTE=Bbinsider;4169570]Your right on all counts. It's just a over-saturated story in a world of way too many news outlets. Men have been willing to pay, one way or another, for several thousand years. I think it's pretty safe to assume that isn't changing anytime soon.[/QUOTE]
