63. If you did research, you would see that the sex for sale environment
Edited on Mon Apr-18-11 08:17 PM by bluestate10
has a number of tiers. The solution to trafficking is focusing resources where those resources do the most good. I once read in a city newspaper of the case of a highly educated young woman who was a high priced "escort". The FEDs put great effort into tracking her and eventually arresting and trying her. I don't know how the case ended, but the story detailed that the woman was the estranged wife of a rich man and still on good terms with him. To me, the case was an example of the ass backward nature of law enforcement against prostitution. Police and prosecutors spend precious time going after people and cases that will make a splash, bringing down a woman getting a grand an hour from her johns is too typical of where and how federal, state and local authorities focus money and people power. The money spent to entrap a woman who appeared to have had a lot of fight in her would have been better spend tracking down pimps that are running fifteen year old girls and beating the hell out of them if they do not perform. Money being spent jailing the aforementioned type of pimp and the johns that use the services of their sex slaves would have done more for society than taking on a high priced, willing, clear headed and ambitious woman that was likely to beat the charges in court.
