Take from a local paper, names edited out. What is interesting is that this is first time I have heard of MSP making a hobby bust.

Human trafficking charges

Also indicted last week was 29-year-old  xxxxx, of no fixed address, for three human trafficking charges and one prostitution charge.

According to a charging document put together by Maryland State Police , xxx acted as a pimp for a 17-year-old runaway. xxx advertised the girl's services on a website, saying that she was 15.

According to MSP, an undercover officer arranged a "date" with the girl at the Days Inn on Route 1 in North Laurel. After she was confronted by police, the girl, a Prince George's County runaway, told authorities that she was originally placed into prostitution by another individual who took her to Atlanta.

While in Atlanta, the girl was contacted by xxxx, who bought her a bus ticket to Maryland and became her pimp, according to charging documents. The girl told police that xxx required her to make between $500 and $600 each night —charging $80 for 15 minutes of sex and $160 for an hour— and give all the money directly to him. If she didn't make the required amount, xxx would threaten to withhold her lodging and food, the girl told police.

Additionally, the girl said that xxx took sexually explicit photos of her that he posted online to "ensure a steady stream of dates."

a 15 year old.

and why solicit providers asking only $160 / hr.

those numbers are just asking for trouble.

This guy posted the girl's age as 15 when in fact she was 17. She wasn't legal either way but he could've atleast listed her at a legal age. So now he's facing federal charges and the girl will give the typical story about being pressed into prostitution.

btw, why is it called hobby.
I have come to accept that word but still don't like it much lol

guess there's always a dumb ass idiot,
a complete idiot,
a stupid f*king idiot, etc
I guess the ones we are referring to are
pedophile perverted idiots...

lol

This has nothing to do with what we discuss and advocate for here.  

Had it not been for the age issue, the state police likely would not have gotten involved to begin with.  This guy should be castrated and left to rot in prison.

She's underage, been passed around like a doll, pressured into making x amount, and at the whims of some pimp... It's an example of subpar living conditions, which, hopefully, is not an example of "hobbying". Just my two cents!

Rape of an underage girl, Not a hobby, meeting a beautiful woman and enjoying each others company, is a hobby.
