Web sites pimping for prostitutes?
that prostitution is going on here.
to round up the usual suspects?
I only wonder what took them so long to become aware of this? Not that it's a pressing problem in many jurisdictions.

Years ago in Massachusetts, there was a bookie operation that operated in a wallpaper store. Everybody knew they were bookies, and nobody ever went in there for wallpaper. Well one woman who did not know actually went in there for wallpaper, and from what I heard they actually gave her 3-4 wallpaper sample books to get rid of here because she did not understand that they did not sell wallpaper. She never came back much to their happiness..
No money spent on XL gambling right?
You know what is ridiculous about reading this article, is that the Sherrif was probably looking through all the ads looking for a real date...LOL! and came across the information out of naivety. In addition what is disconcerting is that the Sherrifs dept and media work together to lump in Child Pornography (which these perps can be found anywhere not just in escort forums or associated soley with prostitution), and drugs as stated in the article. Drugs are not indicative of the profession, and are found by all kinds of users especially those with the cash to burn. CEO's of companies, Stars etc. It seems government and law enforcement want to control this activity due to sheer ignorance and religious more's based on the majority of this country. So consequently more idiotic laws will be passed and we lose more and more of our right to privacy, right to free speech and expressionism. Meanwhile, while they hunt the ladies and gents of this profession the real crimes go up (rape, murder, robberies, Vandalism, terrorism, ect) It was just reported several times here in Houston how slow of a response time the cops have whenever a real crime is being committed. We are talking several hours to respond to someones 911 call if they are being stabbed, mobbed, whatever! So how has this reporter or Sherrif really helped their community? Idiots!
