Cops did a sting this week in Portland,Maine using an ad on a very popular posting site. Be careful out there & KNOW YOUR PROVIDERS!!!!!

That's unfortunate for those involved, many still haven't learned to play smart.

More unfortunate, I guess I have to pick a different playground next week.

But, I always see the same people and I am comfortable with them

I almost always see the same gentlemen as well. Regardless, it seems to create a paranoia which isn't necessary and I don't necessarily want to step in right after.

I'm more focused on the reluctance to partake in the hobby * short term * by the gentlemen.

Admittedly, though, one of my favorite places!

I couldnt post the newspaper link to the article because it included names....

It happened, doesn't seem to be very newsworthy in my mind. I know why the 5-0 does this from time to time and, I believe, they believe it deters participation or; somehow show the public they are diligently putting a stop to trafficking, which I agree is wrong...I just see little evidence it * sex trafficking * being reigned in. I see snatching * low hanging fruit * because there are still foolish people poorly attempting to * play *...whatever the definition of it may be

Well put Mara!!!!

Just low hanging fruit as others have described.  Screen as a good provider should and no problems. Carry on.

Just sucks they have to put their full names in the news papers. 😑

Very short news article, but it includes the following quote, with no other supporting info:

"Johns will often first engage with a prostitute, and then will traffick the girl or boy."

gimme a break.

I don't know if the two are connected but there was a semi-high profile provider who posted on these boards for months, maybe years who not only deactivated her TER account but stood me up for an appointment a few days ago. With all the busts happening I didn't know whether to be pissed or thankful. Or maybe the two aren't connected at all.
