I've been listening to this series on NPR en route to classes in the morning.

Very interesting indeed.  I have often wondered why there are so many hot exotic Asian women in local nail salons.  Some of them are not gifted nail technicians but real cuties.

Give this series a listen if you have a few minutes, but keep in mind not all ladies are forced into the business.  Some really enjoy it, and we're certainly not underage kids.  In many cases it truly is victimless and a win-win situation, but once young people are exploited and pimped it's no longer a cool situation.

Sounds like things are going to change in MA.
I've heard the hammer is coming down on organized services, so perhaps this is just the beginning.

Be smart and don't get caught with your pants down.

tanning salons!! I know the one I go to has some awesome looking young ladies with perfect tans. Those beds get mighty lonely

Most woman go into this business because it beats making minimum wage at KFC.  All the power to them.  Nothing against the colonel of course.

Interestingly enough, the hammer went down similarly in CT a year or so ago but only in regards to AMPs and the like.

Not so sure if this will hurt the established escort services, but the possibility is there.

Stay safe.

Could this be related to VFG completely disappearing from TER? I have no idea where they went.

This has NOTHING to do with VGF! Sonny decided he wanted to retire, he put up a post to let everyone know months ago. Sonny is a very good friend of mine and I dont like the fact that you are insinuating he was involved with human trafficking. That is crazy.

I wasn't insinuating that at all.  I meant the crackdown on the hobby... Sorry to offend, I didn't see the post or even know who ran VFG until today.

The man who ran the business moved on to other life pursuits. I like his model, run an agency well. Treat workers and clients well. Run the business for up to a decade then quit and move on.

Sonny retired on his own terms.  Sent all his clients a "thank you for your business" letter when he left, and vanished into the sunset.

Best wishes Sonny from your friends in Metrowest...where-ever you are.

Maybe he thought it was time to get out because he could see what was coming down the line?
