They don't want you.

They want us....  Especially in an election year.

They want your cock, Ben. That’s what they want.

I am just guessing. But I’ll bet that you are far more at risk if you hire someone who advertises as 18-21 years old than if you hire somebody older than that.

I didn't post what you are questioning, but I think the argument is that law enforcement is much more focused on attempting to help people who are being commercially sexually exploited and people who do sex work at a younger age are more likely to be doing so under the control of someone else.

Exactly. And you might mistakenly actually hire someone under legal age of consent.

Thank you. This is all new to me. Having to watch out for the police...

If you hire a trafficked person or a minor, then you deserve to face justice.  

You can learn something about the priorities and line-of-thought of vice officers by watching the PBS Documentary:  "Sex Trafficking in America".

Maybe I missed it...I didn't see anyone's names in terms of those arrested or those believed to be victims of trafficking.

Human trafficking does happen. We often read about it - every few years we hear about a diplomat or a rich family that abuse and basically hold hostage a domestic helper. Happened here in NYC not too long ago and also in other locations.

That said: I think we all know that law enforcement has a way of exaggerating and can rarely be taken by their literal word. Which is disappointing.

NBC probably has a policy of not providing names.  I would think the names of the adults could be easily found.

Exactly. You'll note in the above articles that they call it "sex trafficking" when it was simply a trap for Johns.

It's just a new term they made up, and they now use it everywhere. Americans are smart enough to realize "prostitution" should be legal, so LA use a new term that sounds worst. So they can continue collecting our tax dollars for victimless crimes.
