Just passing this on.  Looks like much came from BP and CL fake ads by L.E.

http://www.cookcountysheriff.org/press_page/press_NationalSexTraffickngSting2014_08_06_2014.html

Don't see ladies off backpage with no reviews, or even few. Look at the TER ads! Thats just my opinion though; I've felt like bp is only cops for a while now. Thats just my opinion. I haven't posted there in YEARS.

The Johns wouldn't want to see girls who are possibly trafficked.

Be careful, only see ladies who screen, research, stay informed.

And fight for legality of the business so the bad guys can be tracked and so we can get an HR department.

Thx

Couldn't agree more......BP= L.E. and rip-offs. And always, ALWAYS do your homework first. There are so many wonderful options on this site.

They rescued the bicycle. It is the good and moral thing to do as the bike had to be a juvenile. I have yet to see an 18-year old bike still in use. But who knows, street johns and BP users will do anything to save money.

No that is not a sexual position. When a provider flips and acts as agent of the cops, they can suck in many hobbyists. If the flipped provider is reviewed, the risk is even greater.

Here is an interesting article about legalizing the trade.

I wouldn't believe a sheriff's press release on trafficking unless the sheriff really has a reputation for honesty on these issues. There is a whole industry focused on "rescuing" sex trafficking victims, and it is "good for business" if the numbers are hyped. Most famous is the case of Somaly Mam who raised millions in support of sex trafficking "victims". While human trafficking is a serious international problem, only a fraction of it involves sex work.

In the US sex trafficking seems to be pretty rare, according the study by the Urban Institute that I've linked. The Cook County press release indicates 111 "prostitution victims recovered", 13 of which were juveniles. Based on the Urban Institute Study, I'd say that it is unlikely that more than 1 or 2 of these  
were really being forced into sex work against their will. Mostly, these are probably teenage runaways from domestic situations that were likely abusive, and they turned to sex work as their best option to support themselves. It may be that some of them will really benefit from being "victims" that were "recovered". I'm sure that many of the law enforcement agencies involved in the sting really do attempt to provide alternatives to sex work for them. But, I suspect that the vast majority of these 111 "victims" continue to believe that sex work is the best way to support themselves, and get no benefit from being "recovered".

Although I don't think that I've ever seen a provider that had a pimp, I do think that the pimps do tend to get a bad rap. The report indicates that they use violence less often than depicted in the movies, and some of them apparently have no need for any coersion at all.  

Based on the press release, it seems like a few of the agencies involved in this program actually have the best interests of the "victims" at heart. Boston PD is credited for "street intervention to reach out to prostituted individuals", which resulted in 3 rescues. It seems like they are focusing on the girls that really need help and not trying to promote themselves with lots of arrests.

I heartily agree with your call for legalization. But, I should warn you that this would likely make the prices drop significantly. I've engaged in the hobby in a rich country where it is legal, and the prices there are about a factor of two lower than here.

I disagree that legalization will have much of an impact on prices, I too have mongered in literally dozens of countries where P4P is not illegal and I have found that prices are more dependent on local wage/price dynamics than the whether or not it is legal. I do believe that removing criminal penalties for P4P will eliminate the whole "negotiating is disrespectful" bullshit spread around so deeply in this country, and that might have the effect of lowering prices somewhat, but I don't see a wholesale reduction in the price of pussy if it becomes legal.

What I do find highly ironic and not in a good way is that I do believe that trafficking definitely exists in this country, but that LE concentrates it's efforts against willing participants instead of actual victims of trafficking. The chances of a TER reviewed independent or agency lady being trafficked can't be more than 1% at most. The chances of a drug addicted SW would have to be much, much higher.

I also agree from personal experience that legalization puts the pimps in plain view, where they can be squashed like the cockroaches that they are.

Soooo funny and it gives the report so little credibility, lol.

It was surely a bicycle without the cross bar that breaks our balls when we fall off the seat. I never understood why female bikes don't have the bar but male bikes do. I can't tell you how many times my balls have hit that damn bar. OUCH!

Update: The bicycle was released on its own recognizance and ordered to perform 30 days of community service in downtown Chicago under direct supervision by Rahm.

So she flips over and sucks, sounds like a sexual position to me.

Those johns who were busted were probably BP trollers who haven't heard of TER. I can't remember the last time I've heard of or recognized any provider busted on BP. Look at Chicago's blotter page and google for local newspaper articles showing their pics. I have no idea who these women are but they sure aren't from here.

BP is a major LE target because it's so easy to make busts. Having said this, searching on BP carries a much greater risk so for those guys who are lazy and don't like doing research, stay off BP.

that can make you cum

END OF MESSAGE

A lot of good girls on BP, where? I would be more than happy to hook up several times a week with any of them is they didn't put up fake pics, old pics or before they had the baby pic... Thank god for Tineye and google. I don't believe there are 5% legit ads on the escort section of BP. And of the 5%, how many answer the phone, whereas messages haven't been setup yet, or are full and won't text back or call back...thank good for TER!

"The Cook County Sheriff’s Office arrested a john attempting to solicit sex from a bicycle

Are we sure? Sometimes riding a bike on a bumpy street can be VERY arousing.

But in a car driving down a bumpy road with a girl on my stick

I'm sure there's some statute on the books about fucking inanimate objects in public. So take the bike into an alley and have at it.

Thinking a bit, I can see how a woman could get aroused riding on a bumpy road but I see no such benefit for men.

a whole new definition of sex trafficking!

On convictions subsequent to the changes in Illinois laws, "decriminalizing" prostitution and creating greater penalties for trafficking and buying sex. The numbers were disappointing to say the least.

Most of the felony convictions were for women who were repeat offenders. The support programs that are supposed to help the first time offenders get out of prostitution are few and far between because they are not getting funded. Guys usually get a slap on the wrist unless they show up with a gun, drugs or do something else truly dumb. "Pimps," which means anyone who helps in marketing or arranging a date, also get felonies, but the real agencies lawyer up and plead, so most of the "pimps" are bfs or bookers who do not have enough money to lawyer up.

The whole trafficking thing is a marriage of convenience between the end demand people (who think all sex work is violence against the sex worker), and LE. Not that there is not real trafficking that should be stopped, but no one is actually doing much to directly stop it because such investigations are costly and time consuming, and do not produce a lot of arrests in the end. So LE runs stings that bring in a lot of arrests for minimal cost and effort, then spin the results as some affirmative attack on traffickers. If they really do catch a trafficker or underaged provider, it is simply luck. Good luck, but dumb luck. All they are targeting is low hanging fruit and hope to get lucky with something more.
