Description

Unintended consequences including the rape of alleged sex trafficking victims by law enforcement agents

The dangerous, extraordinarily misguided efforts and absurd arguments used to keep prostitution illegal and how the efforts of abolitionists to ‘eradicate’ prostitution harm those whom the ‘anti- traffickers’ claim they want to protect... and harm everyone else as wellESPECIALLY the actual victims... Arresting ‘victims’ OR their non violent, non abusive clients, employers or associates is an unsustainable expense for dubious benefits based on ‘guesstimated’ statistics which cannot be verified

Laws should not be so flexible and arbitrarily enforceable that they can excuse the guilty and punish the innocent... nor should they be used as a club by those who enforce the law to obtain otherwise unobtainable testimony, or to elicit favors of whatever nature from the alleged law breakers who are also considered ‘victims,‘ or to provide the law enforcer with the means to grant special treatment to those who ‘comply’ with the otherwise unlawful requests which, if made by anyone other than a government agent, would constitute extortion and blackmail.

Introduction A century ago, moral crusader Ernest A. Bell, secretary of the Illinois Vigilance Association and Superintendent of Midnight Missions, began a crusade to ‘educate’ Americans about the “White Slave Trade” and the need to prevent young women from leaving the safety and protection of the rural home and go to the big cities. He was convinced that by allowing our ‘virtuous’ young women to set out on their own; to find jobs, to live alone, to become independentmeant that they would be kidnapped and forced into the ‘sex trade’ by unscrupulous madams and pimps, to live out their short lives as sex slaves. In his 1910 self- published book, “Fighting the Traffic in Young Girls- War on the White Slave Trade,” he sternly lectured parents on the need to keep their daughters safe from the unknown. Then, as now, the public’s fear of ‘foreigners’ (immigrants) was used to provoke them to action and was the driving force behind the religious crusade. “The First Step- Ice cream parlors of the city and fruit stores combined, largely run by foreigners, are the places where scores of girls have taken their first step downward. Does her mother know the character of the place and the man she is with?” His was a fight based on the belief that a ‘good’ woman did not naturally possess sexuality and even if she did, it must be suppressed at all costs to ensure that she made the right kind of wife. At the same time, but for entirely different reasons, the progressive movement also commenced its campaign against commercialized vice, in its abiding desire to impose its ‘superior’ social values on the poor folk who needed their benevolent guidance. Two groups entirely diametrically opposed in philosophy and purpose joined together to stop what they called ‘the social evil’ of prostitution. The former group professed concern for the souls of the sinners, while the latter group professed concern for the ‘emotional well being’ of those women it also saw as ‘sex slaves,’ young women under the control of powerful men who coerced innocent females into the sex trade for profit. Never did it enter the minds of either group that grown women could make financial choices that included profiting from their sexuality in the same way that millions of women have done throughout history. Nor did they concern themselves with the ever reoccurring consequences that plague every prohibition of human vices since the beginning of civilizationthe corruption of those entrusted with the enforcement of either moral laws or social taboos. Whether 100 years ago or 1,000 years ago, bad laws create bad law enforcers, destroying the trust of the public and harming society as a whole in far worse ways than permitting adults to engage in consensual activity either by themselves (think masturbation) or with others who share their alleged ‘perversions’ (think homosexuality). No matter how well intended, laws enacted ‘for one’s own good’ are never good. Rational people understand that, but seldom are rational people elected to public office. In her work, “The Vice Trust: A Reinterpretation Of The White Slavery Scare In The United States, 1907-1917,” Mara L. Keire writes “In the narratives of the white slavery scare, which peaked in the United States between 1910 and 1913, urban reformers intertwined the story of the sexually coerced maiden with a heated condemnation of the business of vice. Although the white slavery scare was an international panic, local reformers gave white slavery narratives local relevance by retelling the story in language particular to period and place. Unlike the French, American reformers did not counterbalance tales of violently raped virgins with a defense of regulated prostitution. Americans were trying to shut down, not keep open, tolerated brothels... Instead, Progressive-era reformers turned to the language of economics, particularly the corrupting power of trusts and their control of society, to frame their attack on urban vice.” www.iswface.org

Introduction continued One hundred years later, the crusade continues, and unfortunately for sex workers, the conflation of sex work and sex slavery- or as it is now called, ‘sex trafficking’- prove that neither the religious right or the progressives/ radical feminists really care about the individual sex worker... it is an agenda to be imposed on all women regardless of the cost to individual women (and men). In the recent Canadian sex worker fight for their rights, the issue of sex worker safety under the current laws was heard in court. “Nobody cares about safety of sex workers, court hears” headlined the June 16, 2011 ‘National Post.’ The court heard testimony from groups supporting and opposing a change in the law, to give sex workers the right to protect themselves and make their work safer. Prostitution itself is not illegal in Canada, however, it is illegal to communicate with anyone in such a way that could help protect a sex worker and give him/ her the ability to negotiate condom use with a potential client, or to work with other sex workers in a safe environment. Writes journalist Adrian Humphreys, “A coalition of feminist and progressive groups, however, stood alongside the conservative Christian organizations in supporting the current laws, although for different reasons. Janine Benedet, lawyer arguing on behalf of the Women’s Coalition for the Abolition of Prostitution, comprised of seven women’s groups, including the Canadian Association of Sexual Assault Centres, argued the laws should be kept so men can be penalized for victimizing women. “We feel comfortable referring to prostitution as the world’s oldest profession but not as the world’s oldest men’s pastime,” said Ms. Benedet. “Prostitution itself is harmful to women. The danger to women’s security is a function not of the laws constraining prostitution, but of the actions of men who demand the sale of women’s bodies. It would be illogical and contrary to principles of fundamental justice to decriminalize men’s prostitution of women in order to protect women from those same men,” court was told. Addressing arguments that prostitutes would be safer if they were allowed to work in homes or brothels, she said: “It is not locations that kills women. They are not killed by apartment or houses, they are killed by johns and pimps.” [There is no solid evidence to support their theory, but it scares the public into accepting their irrational arguments against decriminalizing or legalizing adult prostitution, a move that would obviously improve the safety of both the sex workers and the clients. When anyone is a victim of a crime, it is much better for them if they can access the criminal justice system to report crimes against them, than it is for them to fear going to the authorities because they may get arrested rather than the perpetrator. And no, ‘ending the demand’ by criminalizing clients is NOT a valid solution to anything!] The attorney for the Catholic Rights League made it abundantly clear that the church does not care about the safety of prostitutes- it only cares that its moral values be imposed on EVERYONE, including prostitutes. And if they die, they die. No big loss. Just NHIs. “Prostitution is immoral and should be eradicated through strict laws, even if that leaves sex trade workers vulnerable to attack, argued Ranjan Agarwal, a lawyer representing the Christian Legal Fellowship, Catholic Rights League and REAL Women of Canada. “Parliament intended to eradicate prostitution” by enacting these laws because it is “an attack on the fundamental values of modern Canadian society,” he said. But, asked Justice David Doherty, what if that meant sex workers die as a result, wouldn’t that be harm out of proportion from the intended good? www.iswface.org

Introduction continued No, Mr. Agarwal said, such an outcome is a “sad side effect,” and it was better for Parliament to “send a signal” to anyone thinking of entering the sex trade that there was great risk involved. His stance caused a ripple of derision from several sex workers observing the proceedings.” What he is saying is that it is better for society if such immoral women were murdered - even by cops- rather than be permitted to remain at large where their ‘sinful lifestyle’ may attract/ lure other - more virtuous- women into the profession. Police corruption and abuse of those ‘victims’regardless of how pervasive and damaging it is to everyone in society- is apparently entirely irrelevant to both factions opposed to the right of adult women to real autonomy and ‘choice.’ How can anyone dismiss the overwhelming evidence that law enforcement agents- including chiefs of police, FBI agents, Secret Service agents, judges, lawyers, prosecutors, prison staff, governors, law makers and politicians, as well as religious leaders, celebrities and others- cannot be trusted to use the laws which prohibit prostitution to ‘protect’ those whom these groups consider ‘victims’? William Shakespeare, who captured so well the essence of human nature, nailed it in his work “King Lear”- “Thou rascal beadle, hold thy bloody hand. Why dost thou lash that whore? Strip thine own back. Thou hotly lust’st to use her in that kind For which thou whipp’st her.” In plain english, “You stupid cop, stop your violence! Why are you whipping that whore? You should be whipping yourself, since you lust after her and yearn to do the same thing for which you’re punishing her.” [act 4, scene 6, page 7] Kirsten Powers, in the March 2, 2009 New York Post, proclaimed “SEX SLAVERY: AMERICA IN DENIAL” in which she opined “SOCIETY calls them prostitutes, but it would be more accurate to call them slaves. Hollywood glamorizes the "happy hooker" and the media deceive by portraying the exception (the woman who is enjoying the "high life" as a prostitute) as the rule. The reality is much more gruesome. Just last week, the FBI rescued [arrested] 48 teenagers, some as young as 13, who were working in the illegal sex trade... Consider...had that FBI sting last week come a few years later, many of those rescued girls would be over 18, and people would argue that as adults they "chose" to become prostitutes - and the girls would be treated as criminals. In fact, they're still simply sex slaves. And it is slavery, because they never see a dime of money from the pimps, and they have no freedom of movement. Advocates talk ominously of the initial "seasoning period" when the victim is repeatedly raped, beaten, starved, locked in a closet and generally forced into submission. The pimp then gives her a new name and tells her she's now a prostitute.” You mean like NYPD Detective Wayne Taylor said to the 13 year old girl he pimped and forced into prostitution? I have news for you, Ms. Powers, this may be true for some, but it is NOT true for most of us who have ever worked as a sex worker. And it is time to stop your fatuous rhetoric and realize the serious harm that is done to those whom you self- righteous prostitution abolitionist zealots consider ‘victims’ and ‘sex slaves,’ at the hands of those whom YOU entrust with our lives and our freedom. In this age of instant media information, you cannot claim to be unaware of these outcomes. As I will prove in the following document, it is the unsubstantiated claims of ‘sex slavery’ and ‘human trafficking’ made by abolitionists like this woman who make possible the horrific and unacceptable consequences- whether or not intended- shown in case after case, using the government’s own statistics and reports. Given those consequences and the fact that they occur in every country and throughout history wherever adult women are not permitted to speak for themselves or make their own choices, it is unconscionable for anyone of any political or religious persuasion to continue the vitriolic crusade against adult sex work, sex workers and their non violent, non abusive clients, employers or associates, and to persist with conflation of ‘sex work’ with ‘sex slavery.’ You may not approve of prostitution; you may believe we are being exploited or that we are immoral, but by giving so much power over the lives of adult and child prostitutes to law enforcement agencies and all the ancillary professions, groups, organizations and individuals who benefit from the infantilization of adult sex workers, you are the cause of and not the solution to, the problem.

The following presentation addresses some important questions that must be considered before passing more useless, redundant “anti- trafficking” legislation. Among these questions are: 1. Where do the confusing and often conflicting statistics come from that are used by anti- prostitution supporters of increased penalties, expanded definition of ‘human trafficking’ and other ‘sex trafficking’ legislation? 2. We already have tough laws nationwide which specifically deal with human trafficking; if they are not working, why would new laws specific to ‘sex trafficking’ - with money given to non law enforcement agencies with NO accountability to taxpayers- be more effective? 3. How big a problem is ‘(sex) human trafficking’ and how does it compare to other violence against women and children, such as domestic violence and child abuse? Are the other, more numerous victims less important to society? 4. If prostitution is ‘like rape,’ why do the victims of rape who report their rapists get shortchanged by the government? Why are the rapes of inmates by corrections officers often completely disregarded? Why is rape in the military and on college campuses not treated as a serious issue? 5. If prostitution is ‘violence against women,’ why are there so few resources allocated to help the hundreds of millions of wives and girlfriends (worldwide) of truly violent husbands and boyfriends? 6. What are the unintended consequences of this type of legislation and how will it impact those whom such legislation is intended to help? Who benefits from the highly exaggerated ‘statistics’ which cannot be verified even by government agencies which spend hundreds of millions of dollars investigating reported incidents of human trafficking?

7. If many of the law enforcement agents noted in this presentation who rape prostitutes and who have sex with minors (for which they are often given minimal sentences) are NOT required to register as sex offenders, why would such registry be required for the non violent, non abusive, non coercive employers- so called ‘pimps’- and associates of adult prostitutes with whom they work, or to whom they voluntarily give any of their “prostitution income” for whatever reason, ESPECIALLY IF THE ADULT PROSTITUTE DOES NOT INITIATE A CRIMINAL COMPLAINT AGAINST SUCH PERSONS OR ask the police for help?

Facts to consider before demanding new and even more draconian legislation relating to so called human trafficking/ sex trafficking/ consenting adult prostitution: •

We already have tough Federal and State laws which prohibit sex/ human trafficking- and most states already have laws which prohibit prostitution, whether adult and consenting or coerced or juvenile involvement. We also have statutory rape laws with which to charge adults who have sex with minors, regardless of consent. • Pimping and pandering laws already mandate significantly greater punishment than for crimes of violent rape, domestic violence and non commercial child sexual exploitation. •

Adding to the expense of enforcing new, unenforceable and duplicate legislation to current national budget crises will force even more cutbacks to equally important issues and problems faced by American citizens.



America’s prisons and jails are overcrowded and under federal court order to relieve the overcrowding; to achieve this many states must release inmates early: For example, in California, the United States Supreme Court ruling in 2011 ordered the department to reduce prison crowding to 137.5 percent of the prison system’s design bed capacity by June 2013. Similar overcrowded conditions exist in most state prisons and county jails, including the privately owned and operated facilities. And with that overcrowding come serious problems of inmate violence, health issues and rape.

• New legislation does nothing to help non sex trafficking victims, and gives money to ideologically biased organizations which are thereby incentivized to make further exaggerated claims of victimhood, citing unverifiable statistics to justify their existence. And it does nothing to stop the flow of persons being ‘smuggled’ across the border... by BORDER PATROL AGENTS... www.iswface.org

Part I- The Numbers Game

or how to make ‘victims’ out of consenting adults

The  estimated  number  of  human  trafficking  victims  that  the  media  and  the  government  claim  exist  worldwide   and  in  the  US    are  overwhelming.  However,  the  government  itself  says  “There  is  also  a  considerable   discrepancy  between  the  numbers  of  observed  and  estimated  victims  of  human  trafficking...”    To  say  the  least... What  are  the  real  numbers?  And  how  do  the  numbers  of  alleged  human  trafficking  victims  compare  to  other   violent  crimes  like  rape  and  domestic  violence?   Who  does  the  government  consider    a  ‘sex  trafficking  victim’? How  do  we  know  if  someone  really  is  a  ‘victim’  of    sex  trafficking? How  can  we  tell  if  someone  is  a  ‘victim’    of  HUMAN  trafficking  which  does  not  involve  sexual  labor?  And  why   so  much  concern  over  alleged  sex  trafficking  victims  and  so  liKle  concern  for  the  rest  of  the  victims?   The  government  spends  hundreds  of  millions  of  dollars  looking  for  sex  trafficking  victims  but  finds  very  few...   Where  are  all  those  victims? We  looked  into  the  verifiable  government  statistics  not  only  of  alleged  sex  trafficking  victims  but  of    victims  of   rape,  domestic  violence  and  underage  prostitutes...  and  something  doesn’t  add  up...  unless  you  are  a  recipient   of  the  funding  that  comes  with  claiming  far  more    human  trafficking  victims  than  actually  exist!

Numbers and statistics can be so confusing... Before we get into the issue of prostitution, sex trafficking, human trafficking, police corruption etc., let’s establish some general statistics based on information from government and non government sources; presuming that most of the non-ideologically biased figures are fairly accurate, and using the ‘estimated’ numbers from ideologically biased sources even though they have a vested interest in inflating the statistics (because their funding depends on a greater number of estimated victims). Throughout this document, all references to groups, individuals and information are linked to the original sources.

According to the California 2008 “Post Guidelines on Law Enforcement Response to Human Trafficking” police should look for the following (dubious) ‘symptoms’ of human trafficking: (found on pg 12)

Victims (if they are victims, why are they arrested?): 4 ... may distrust outsiders particularly law enforcement... All sex workers are distrustful of cops- and will be distrustful of them as long as we are considered outlaws and cops can use the laws to rape and extort us! That does not make them a victim of sex trafficking...

5 They fear deportation... This would be true for all persons in the US illegally- does this mean that all undocumented aliens are victims of trafficking and anyone who hires them could be considered a trafficker?

6 They are unaware of their rights and may not consider themselves victims... If they do not consider themselves victims, why would the police be in a better position to make that determination than the adult individual? ... Unless we consider adult women incapable of self- determination, this is a shaky presupposition which infantilizes adult women, and a premise that the feminist movement once vehemently opposed and supposedly successfully challenged!

7 Life may be better now than it was previously. Seriously? If life is better for an individual than it was previously, why would they be considered ‘victims’? Would a victim of chronic domestic violence consider his or her life to be better than it was previously, before they married?

8 They are afraid and intimidated by the traffickers... Many people are afraid of and intimidated by their bosses- “America’s Worst Bosses” includes Bartlesville, OK. Police Chief Tom Holland who was rated 14th on a list of 100 worst bosses of 2011... Does that mean those who work for Chief Holland are victims of human trafficking?

9 They fear the unknown... Wow- this could make ALL citizens of the entire world victims of human trafficking! Given the state of the economy, many of us fear the unknown... http://lib.post.ca.gov/Publications/human_trafficking.pdf www.iswface.org

Where do the human trafficking statistics come from? According to the US GAO,* the ‘estimates’ of victims of human trafficking are not based on any real evidence. These statistics are wild guesses... made by people with an ideological agenda... “such estimates of global human trafficking are questionable. The accuracy of the estimates is in doubt because of methodological weaknesses, gaps in data, and numerical discrepancies... There is also a considerable discrepancy between the numbers of observed and estimated victims of human trafficking...” This is true of statistics both in the US and internationally... so why do organizations and individuals use non scientific, unverifiable and questionable estimates to generate concern for victims of trafficking?

Who benefits from the use of hyper-inflated numbers?

For starters, the many ‘faith based’ non profit organizations (the founders of which I call ‘victim pimps’) rely on the retelling of the sad stories of the stereotypical ‘sex trafficking victim’ to generate emotional responses in the gullible public- benefit financially from using numbers that they do not have to verify or confirm. If the media prints a guesstimated, hyper-inflated number of ‘victims,’ these non profit organizations feel confident that no one will question their use of unsubstantiated numbers because they are merely quoting the same baseless, factless statistics put forth by alleged journalists who quote the numbers they find on other prostitution abolitionist websites. If someone ever DOES question the numbers, they can always say they are merely citing the numbers that they found posted on some else’s website. There is no one to blame for spreading inaccurate information (lies) that generates so much money for so many. GAO: Government Accountability Office *“The U.S. government estimates that 600,000 to 800,000 persons are trafficked across international borders annually. However, such estimates of global human trafficking are questionable. The accuracy of the estimates is in doubt because of methodological weaknesses, gaps in data, and numerical discrepancies. For example, the U.S. government’s estimate was developed by one person who did not document all his work, so the estimate may not be replicable, casting doubt on its reliability. Moreover, country data are not available, reliable, or comparable. There is also a considerable discrepancy between the numbers of observed and estimated victims of human trafficking. The U.S. government has not yet established an effective mechanism for estimating the number of victims or for conducting ongoing analysis of trafficking related data that resides within government entities.” US GAO Report 2006 “Better Data, Strategy, and Reporting Needed to Enhance U.S. Anti-trafficking Efforts Abroad” http://www.gao.gov/products/GAO-06-825

The numbers are essentially a guesstimate- not a scientific estimate... Is this what passes for acceptable journalism by so called journalists when they continue to repeat non scientific statistical ‘guesstimates’ and claim them as FACTS? To be endlessly repeated by pandering politicians and those who financially benefit from these fallacious, exaggerated, unsubstantiated claims? Organizations- including those which promote the abolition of all prostitution- admit: “We use those statistics knowing and admitting that they are dated estimates because everyone– policy makers, media and the public– push to know the number of victims.” [‘But we really don’t know!!! So we give out numbers which we know to be incorrect!’] “We use these statistics because these are the most recent and comprehensive numbers we have... (from) the controversial 2001 University of Pennsylvania study. Partially funded by the US Department of Justice, it remains the most complete published study on the commercial sexual exploitation of children. The current controversy lies in the 100,000 – 300,000 children reported in the study to be at risk in the US for commercial sexual exploitation.” http://ecpatusa.org/2011/07/the-numbers-game/ Despite NOT knowing how many real victims of sex/ human trafficking there are, US taxpayers are supposed to fund training for law enforcement officers to spot “victims of sex trafficking” and then make untold numbers of arrests, leading to prosecutions and incarcerations of individuals based on nothing more than guesstimations? (They could always ask the person if they are a victim or not, but that would be too easy and not generate the funding they get by arresting ‘potential victims’ and then threatening them with incarceration if they deny being a victim...)

And they include ‘guesstimates’ of who law enforcement agents should consider victims... even if the ‘victim’ says otherwise... www.iswface.org

If the federal government admits that actual statistics do not exist for giving a realistic estimate of the number of victims of human trafficking, how is it possible for the average person to know what the truth is and how many victims there really are? The numbers vary significantly from one news report to another, including who is trafficked into what type of labor:

In April, 2012, The Huffington Post (among other media outlets) reported

“Human Trafficking Victims: 2.4 Million People Across The Globe Are Trafficked For Labor, Sex” http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/04/03/human-trafficking-victims_n_1401673.html

According to this April 29, 2012 Huffington Post article, “The U.S. Department of Justice estimates that there are approximately 14,500 to 17,500 human trafficking victims in this country. The numbers are more staggering globally, with an estimated 27 million human trafficking victims worldwide. 11% Eleven percent of these victims are trafficked into the

commercial sex industry, while the other 89 percent are... forced into labor.” http://www.huffingtonpost.com/deborah-bergman/how-you-can-help-protect-_b_1462959.html

Other media reports cite the previous 2011 estimate in a June 2012 story: “27 Million Slaves In The World: Hillary Clinton”

http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/354486/20120620/slavery-trafficking-clinton-burma-iran-syria-congo.htm

The media claims that ‘human trafficking is the fastest growing criminal enterprise in the world’

http://newamericamedia.org/2012/02/human-trafficking-a-growing-global-scourge.php

But if the actual number is 2.4 million and the older number of 27 million is no longer accurate, how can it be ‘the fastest growing’? It would seem to be doing the opposite of growing...

The truth is that nobody knows what the real number is...

but the June 2013 US TIP Report (Trafficking in Persons) says that there were only 46,570 CONFIRMED VICTIMS of human trafficking worldwide... that’s not even close to the ‘estimated’ number of alleged victims cited by the many *non profit organizations who financially benefit from exaggerated statistics. *Every year, anti- trafficking organizations see an increase the donations they receive, primarily because of their ‘awareness’ campaigns in which they use fabricated guesstimates of the number of victims... and it doesn’t hurt that the government includes in their claims of victims of human trafficking, situations like that of Colleen Shannon and her Canadian boyfriend: www.iswface.org

Is this what you think of when you hear about the millions of ‘victims of human trafficking’? Playboy Playmate Colleen Shannon Arrested for

Human Trafficking

AUGUST 18, 2012 BY: ABRAHAM GUTIERREZ

Former Playboy Playmate turned DJ, Colleen Shannon was arrested Thursday night after allegedly trying to smuggle an unidentified man into the United States through the Canadian border. The 34-year-old blonde bombshell was arrested by Customs and Border Protection and was taken into custody at Clinton County Jail in Upstate New York. She was booked for violating a statue prohibiting “bringing in and harboring aliens.” Although it is reported that Shannon has been released on bond, her alleged violation is considered a federal offense in the U.S. and carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison. According to The Huffington Post, the unidentified man, who was found hiding in her luggage, is believed to be Shannon’s Canadian boyfriend... http://www.examiner.com/article/playboy-playmate-colleen-shannon-arrested-for-human-trafficking

If this is an example of ‘human trafficking’ ...no wonder there are so many ‘estimated’ ‘victims’ but are those who are willingly brought across the border, really ‘victims’ of human trafficking or are they merely undocumented immigrants? www.iswface.org

The ‘guesstimated’ number of victims noted on a previous page were global. What about in the US?

How many victims are there within our borders? Surely we have a better handle on the number of victims in our own backyard, right? Some reports claim “An estimated 14,000 – 17,000 men, women and children are trafficked each year into the United States according to the US Department of State“ (one might ask how they get into the country, with so many ‘Homeland Security’ measures in place...) Still others claim “There are approximately 100,000 to 300,000 human trafficking victims in the United States.” But again, these are all just “guesstimates” and cannot be verified despite the untold millions of dollars spent by the government to find all those victims. Nevertheless, the media continues to parrot the claims made by the abolitionist organizations who depend on ever increasing numbers of victims to fund their ‘rescue and restore’ projects. http://www.1800victims.org/docuserfiles/file/Human%20Trafficking/VicCompHumanTrafficking.pdf [The claims of “100,000 to 300,000 victims” are based on previously cited stats of CHILD trafficking victims who may be AT RISK for being trafficked, but who in fact are not victims: From the Crimes against Children Research Center].

Within those ‘guesstimates’ are the victims of trafficking into many other areas of labor which include : •Restaurant business/waitress/cleaning service •Servile marriage (mail-order brides) •Sweatshops/factory workers •Agricultural labor •Begging/panhandling •Construction labor •Hotel/motel cleaning services • Domestic Servants in private homes •Debt bondage (which could include college students who take on huge student loans which often cannot be repaid because there are no jobs which offer a sufficient salary to make the monthly payments) As Susan Cohen says in the The Guttmacher Report on Public Policy -February 2005, Volume 8, Number 1 "Sex trafficking is one component of the broader problem of trafficking in persons—an internationally recognized human rights violation and a crime in the United States. It would appear, however, that from the perspective of many social conservatives both inside and outside the Bush administration, human trafficking is problematic largely to the extent it involves trafficking for sex. And since these advocates view sex trafficking and prostitution as inextricably linked, if not for all intents and purposes identical, the U.S. government's global anti-trafficking program in many ways has come to resemble a global campaign against prostitution.”

Unfortunately for sex workers, the campaign against sex trafficking is a campaign against prostitution- not against human trafficking. www.iswface.org

Let’s examine the ‘human trafficking’ claims below more carefully: “An estimated 14,000 – 17,000 women, children and men are trafficked each year into the United States according to the US Department of State” [ some agencies claim that there are about 100,000 people PER MONTH brought across the border... or 1.2 MILLION people annually... but how do they get here if we have HOMELAND SECURITY ensuring they don’t cross our borders?]

Perhaps that is because the Border Patrol Agents are smuggling men, women and children across the border? Wouldn’t that be a reason to close which ever border they are crossing to get here? Or at least we ought to sentence to life in prison the corrupt Border Patrol Agents who get caught looking the other way when ‘traffickers’ smuggle people or drugs across the border? Instead, such agents receive sentences ranging from probation to three years to five years and in some very rare cases, 20 years in prison.

Why do they call it “human smuggling” when Border agents bring people across the border but “human trafficking” when anyone else transports people across the border?

Corruption crosses the border with agent bribes U.S. officers have been charged with taking money to let traffickers cross checkpoints

“Despite millions spent, human trafficking’s scope is unknown” Monday, Dec. 31, 2012 By Willoughby Mariano The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

“The situation was dire, police warned. The City of Atlanta was under siege by human traffickers. Some 1,000 Asian women and girls ages 13 to 25 were being “forced to prostitute themselves” in the city, a 2005 internal police email said. Many of the victims, police said, were Korean. To free them, police forged ahead with a $600,000 task force. Had agency leaders questioned the estimate, they would have found it defied common sense. If it were true, one in eight of the city’s Asians would have been sex slaves. Perhaps, then, it’s little wonder that the program had such poor results that it drew scrutiny from the U.S. Department of Justice. An initial report said Atlanta police had found more than 200 victims, but auditors could only confirm four. The APD project is an example of how government officials have charged into the fight against human trafficking without a clear sense of who is being exploited and how, an investigation by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution found. While the term “human trafficking” conjures images of foreigners smuggled into the U.S. to work at brothels and sweatshops, its definition shifts, sparking complaints that public dollars are being spent the wrong way. Mexicans have been brought to Gwinnett County and forced into prostitution. Was this the area’s biggest problem? Was a case of Nigerian maids held in Suwanee a sign of a larger trend? What about gay male teen runaways pushed to have sex for money? Or homegrown girls sold by local pimps? Despite more than a decade of federal and local initiatives and millions of dollars spent, policymakers don’t have information that can answer these questions. What does exist suggests that government officials either don’t understand the problem, or are failing victims... Atlanta launched its search for Korean prostitutes as hundreds of millions of dollars began to pour into anti-trafficking efforts nationwide. The federal Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 gave special assistance to foreign victims in the U.S. and paved the way for a 2004 Department of Justice initiative to fund local human trafficking task forces. The goal: To increase rescues of foreign victims by 15 percent each year. City officials argued they desperately needed the money. “Human trafficking is now beginning to get a foothold in Atlanta and must be stopped before it becomes entrenched,” police told Justice Department officials... The Atlanta Police Department won a $450,000 three-year grant, and the city chipped in an additional $150,000. Two investigators and a sergeant joined forces with a Korean translator... At first blush, the task force seemed to be a success. The Justice Department’s Bureau of Justice Assistance reported that Atlanta police identified 216 potential victims from January 2005 through December 2006. But this count was later revealed to be grossly inaccurate. Auditors for the Justice Department’s Office of the Inspector General could

find

documentation for only four victims, a July 2008 report said. The Bureau of Justice Assistance made a mistake that added 93 victims to the count. Atlanta had actually reported 123 victims. The city could not explain the 119 that auditors couldn’t track. Police said the figures were reported by a city employee who retired before the Justice Department inquiry... Such problems weren’t unique to Atlanta. Auditors found victim over-counts by task forces across the nation, although none was as bad as Atlanta’s. The City of Los Angeles, for instance, identified 49 victims and the Metropolitan Police Department of Washington, D.C., found 51. “

Auditors confirmed none of them...” http://www.ajc.com/news/news/despite-millions-spent-human-traffickings-scope-is/nTjRn/

WHERE ARE THE VICTIMS OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING?

2007 - 2008

Over a period of 21 months, the US Government reported the following information relating to alleged human trafficking victims: Federally funded task forces opened 1,229 suspected incidents of human trafficking for investigation between January 2007 and September 2008. From January 2008 to September 2008, there is an overlap with the 2008- 2010 stats, which can be found here (2008- 2010). The statistics from 20082010 (30 months) indicated that there were approximately 83 alleged victims per month reported. The average for this period of time would be about 58 alleged victims reported per month. Obviously during the overlapping 9 months, there may have been more or fewer reported alleged victims. What is important is the outcome.

WHERE ARE THE VICTIMS OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING?

2007 - 2008

At the close of the investigation period for this report, the investigations had not been completed for 78% of the alleged victims [or approximately 958 persons]. Of those which had been completed [271 persons], LESS THAN 10 % WERE CONFIRMED as human trafficking, or 27 cases, or slightly over one case PER MONTH. Sex trafficking was suspected in 83% of the 1,229 reported alleged victims, or 1,020, which means that there were 795 cases undetermined at the close of this report, so theoretically, 22.5 of the 27 cases which were confirmed as human trafficking, were ‘sex trafficking.’ Again, this is about one case per month. We do not know if the 958 incompleted cases were then rolled into and reported as part of the 2,515 cases in the 2008- 2010 report, but there is no reason to believe that they weren’t included. Which would mean that of the 2,515 reported alleged cases of human trafficking in the 2008- 2010 report, 958 were from the previous report, so that there were only 1,557 additional cases to be investigated. When the media reports that 83% of human trafficking cases involve sex trafficking, one should remember that this is 83% of ALLEGED human trafficking cases, NOT CONFIRMED CASES, and that even the number of alleged cases are a fraction of the number of claimed victims (hundreds of thousands per year) and then the number of confirmed cases are even fewer.

For the sake of argument, let’s say that all 1,018 ALLEGED sex trafficking incidents were confirmed as actual victims. That would still only be 581 sex trafficking victims per year... FAR, FAR short of the alleged ‘hundreds of thousands’ of sex trafficking victims that we are told there are every year. Meanwhile, there were 346,830 reported VIOLENT RAPES and sexual assaults in 2012, and only about 4.5% of alleged rapists were arrested (15,591)

'Modern-day slavery': State Dept. says millions of human trafficking victims go unidentified June 19, 2013

By Matthew DeLuca, Staff Writer, NBC News...

“Only about 40,000 victims of human trafficking (worldwide) have been identified in the past year, the report said, based on information obtained from governments around the world. The estimated number of men, women, and children who are trafficked at any one time worldwide may reach as high as 27 million, according to the report. The chief executive of the Polaris Project, a non-governmental organization that works to prevent human trafficking, said the report brought attention to the “appallingly high rate” of global human trafficking in a statement.... .... Yet the number of traffickers convicted by the Department of Justice fell over the past year, the report said, recording 138 traffickers convicted in 2012, according to the report. A year earlier, 152 convictions were obtained by the Justice Department in trafficking cases, the report said.

Justice Department task forces reported fewer investigations for 2012, as well, saying that the department conducted 753 investigations into human trafficking suspects last year, compared to 900 investigations into 1,350 suspects in 2011. As many as 100,000 U.S. children may be victims of domestic human trafficking, according to estimates cited by a 2013 Congressional Research Service report. The tally of victims brought into the U.S. by traffickers each year might be as high as 17,500 people, according to the report. “The average American should understand that human trafficking is much larger and more prevalent than most people realize, and they may come across human trafficking in their daily lives,” Polaris Project CEO Bradley Myles told NBC News in an email. “Hundreds

of

thousands of vulnerable women, men and children right here in the U.S. are lured or forced into commercial sex or to provide labor against their will.” Conveniently, no solid facts are necessary when the reports say “MAY BE VICTIMS” How do these abolitionists define “lured”? If the idea of making more money per hour by providing pleasure to others sounds appealing to some women, are they being ‘lured’ into prostitution by anyone who agrees to pay them for their sexual services?

The 2013 Trafficking in Persons Report says that despite all the best efforts of OUR government and that of governments around the world, and hundreds of millions of dollars spent, the number of actual confirmed victims was about 46,000 persons. Only 46,000 Human Trafficking Victims Identified Worldwide In 2012, State Department Report Finds “Only 46,570 out of an estimated 27 million victims of human trafficking were identified in 2012. That is the conclusion of a new report released by the U.S. State Department.”

WHY ARE WE SPENDING HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS LOOKING FOR PHANTOM VICTIMS OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING WHEN THERE ARE SO MANY MORE UNAMBIGUOUS VICTIMS OF VIOLENCE, THE MAJORITY OF WHOM ARE VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE? Why does Bradley Miles, the chief executive of the Polaris Project, a non-governmental organization which receives MILLIONS OF TAXPAYER DOLLARS to document human trafficking (take phone calls from ‘potential victims’), continue to state that the report brought attention to the “appallingly high rate” of global human trafficking, when clearly the ‘appallingly high rate’ of victims is not high at all? In the US alone, there are hundreds of thousands of REPORTED violent rapes and sexual assaults as well as incidents of domestic violence... how is ‘46,570’ confirmed victims an ‘appallingly high rate,’ compared to the really appallingly high rate of rapes, sexual assaults, domestic violence and other forms of violence against women?

Is the government so incompetent that with the hundreds of millions of dollars it spends on raids, grants to law enforcement agencies and grants to non profit ‘rescue and rehabilitate’ organizations, it cannot find the ‘hundreds of thousands’ of victims of human trafficking, sex trafficking, child sex trafficking EVERY YEAR that they and the prostitution abolitionist victim pimps claim there are?

Or are taxpayers being conned by people with an ideological agenda to ‘eliminate’ all commercial sex? Those activists succeeded- ALL prostitutes have been included in sex trafficking statistics for years nowregardless of their age or their consent... even though the federal guidelines for counting such victims does not include adults who consent...

The Polaris Project TOTAL 2012 CALLS AS STATED ON POLARIS WEBSITE: According to their website, many of the calls relating to 'potential victims referenced' are follow up calls, so the actual number of calls directly relating to the 'potential victims referenced' may be many fewer. Here is a link to their lastest report:

“Report Spotlights Human Trafficking Trends in the U.S. 2007- 2012” “In five years, we received reports of 9,298 unique cases of human trafficking.” [which amounts to 1,859 calls per year- a far cry from the claimed hundreds of thousands of alleged victims EACH YEAR: "With 100,000 children estimated to be in the sex trade in the United States each year, it is clear that the total number of human trafficking victims in the U.S. reaches into the hundreds of thousands when estimates of both adults and minors and sex trafficking and labor trafficking are aggregated." ] Yet the US Government reports far fewer victims of human trafficking, not to mention that the statistics on the state by state numbers of calls does not add up to what they claim they received (as we will show in the next two pages): 2012 CLAIMED CALLS: 20,652 CALLS ACTUALLY FOUND FROM THEIR STATE BY STATE NUMBERS (IN SPREADSHEET) 15,200 A DIFFERENCE OF 5,452....

RED- Crisis Calls – This category includes calls received from self-identifying victims of trafficking in need of immediate assistance or calls from individuals calling on behalf of a potential victim in need of immediate assistance. Calls referencing potential minor victims of trafficking may also fall into this category even if the situation is not an emergency.



GREEN- Tips – Tips include calls received from individuals wishing to report information related to potential trafficking victims, suspicious behaviors, and/or locations where trafficking is suspected to be occurring.



BLUE- Training and Technical Assistance – Calls requesting training and technical assistance on anti-trafficking topics often include, but are not limited to, requests for: specialized information, phone consultations, materials reviews, trainings/presentations, and field training or joint activities.



PURPLE- Referrals – This call category includes requests for referrals to organizations working to combat human trafficking, specified by name, geographical area and/or type of service provided. YELLOW- General Information – This category includes calls requesting general information on the issue of human trafficking, such as legal definitions, scope, statistics, trends, prevalence, etc.





GREY- Related Calls – This category was created to address calls that are either irrelevant to the purpose of the National Human Trafficking Resource Center, or are related in issue (such as sexual assault or general labor exploitation) but are beyond the scope of NHTRC services.

WHERE ARE THE VICTIMS OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING? Sept. 18, 2012 Dennis Mark - of ‘Redeemed Ministries’ (Texas) says:

“The biggest obstacle to rehabilitating the victims are the victims themselves... Victims make it difficult to help them. They don’t realize they’re victims...” (regarding those charged with prostitution offenses who are offered the ‘opportunity’ to be ‘rehabilitated’ by these faith based organizations rather than be incarcerated)

Here’s a thought- perhaps they don’t realize they are victims because

THEY ARE NOT VICTIMS and THEY DO  NOT  NEED  ‘REHABILITATING’! http://www.yourhoustonnews.com/cypresscreek/news/non-profits-county-work-to-rehabilitate-human-trafficking-victims/ article_7975cd41-f524-5067-89f3-4b1a054ae71d.html

Aren’t there enough real victims out there already? Victims who have sought help from the police? Why do we need to make victims out of adult women who ‘do not realize they are victims’ and don’t ask for help? In the recent NY case of a father and son charged with pimping a group of women, the women testified that they were NOT abused and were all one big happy family... however, in trial,

How to tell ‘sex slaves’ from ‘sex workers’

Rescued Cleveland Sex Slaves Gina de Jesus and Amanda Berry http://www.kogo.com/pages/ chrismerrill.html?article=11265651

FIRST CLUE: Sex slaves KNOW they are victims and WANT to be rescued... you won’t need to “help them realize they are victims..” Sex workers- we’re the ones who say “nope- that’s not what’s happening...” WHERE ARE THE VICTIMS OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING? www.iswface.org

How to tell ‘sex slaves’ from ‘sex workers’ continued: In the 10 years that the Cleveland sex slaves were held captive, neighbors contacted the police to report naked women on leashes and other odd behavior at the Ariel Castro house of horrors... Police either dismissed the complaints as bogus or failed to properly follow up on them. “One neighbor says a naked woman was seen crawling on her hands and knees in the backyard of the house a few years ago. Another heard pounding on the home's doors and noticed plastic bags over the windows. Both times, police showed up but never went inside, neighbors say. Police also paid a visit to the house in 2004, but no one answered the door.” So they went away... Finally, no thanks to the police, these sex slaves were rescued when a neighbor heard the cry for help and broke the door down. The sex slave victim used one of the neighbors’ cell phone to call 911:

"Help me. I'm Amanda Berry," she breathlessly told a dispatcher in a call that exhilarated and astonished much of the city. "I've been kidnapped, and I've been missing for 10 years and I'm, I'm here, I'm free now.” http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/05/07/ariel-castro-neighbors-police-naked-woman_n_3233340.html FYI: Cleveland cops were summoned six times to handle accusations that accused kidnapper Ariel Castro had assaulted or menaced people, including three alleged beatings of his wife, but he was only convicted once and was never sentenced to any prison time.

Yet police routinely conduct sting operations and raids of houses, apartments and massage parlors without ANY evidence to suggest that the adult sex workers who work there are victims of ANYTHING... in fact, the cops sometimes have sex with the alleged sex trafficking victims multiple times before arresting ... THE ‘VICTIMS’ Is that what we do to real victims of sex slavery? http://www.indystar.com/article/20130502/NEWS02/305020050/Experts-question-police-methods-CarmelZionsville-prostitution-sting

If all prostitutes are victims, why would the government want to threaten them with incarceration if they don’t accept the government’s diversion program’? Dallas Police Offer Prostitutes: Jail or Jesus.... [is that even constitutional?]

Would we do this to the real sex slaves who were rescued in Cleveland? Would we do this to rape victims? Would we do this to victims of domestic violence? Would we do this to child sexual exploitation victims of pedophile coaches, priests, teachers, preachers, parents, neighbors etc.? Why is it acceptable to do this to prostitutes? Worse yet, in order to be eligible for this ‘program’ the prostitute must agree that they were victims and forced into prostitution. But what if they don’t want to lie for the sake of the ‘victim pimps’ who need to increase the numbers of ‘victims’ to justify the vast amount of resources they receive from the government? If prostitutes weren’t considered criminals and have no criminal record - an arrest record which makes transitioning out of sex work impossible- they would be able to leave this profession the way any other worker in any other job is able to find other employment when and if this job is no longer satisfactory to them. Why is it so difficult for society to understand that most of us prefer this job to any other, and that we do not wish to be ‘rehabilitated’ in order to spend our lives doing menial labor making minimum wage in order to allow others to feel good about themselves that they ‘helped’ us poor, ignorant prostitutes ‘out of a life of degradation and exploitation’? www.iswface.org

“Aren’t there some prostitutes who are victims of sex trafficking? You can’t claim that every prostitute chooses to engage in prostitution... especially the children... Shouldn’t we continue to prohibit prostitution to protect THOSE who are victims?” There are victims of sex trafficking, among many other types of labor into which children and adults are trafficked. As noted previously, some put the percentage of trafficking into NON sex related labor at 89% of the trafficking victims. According to some sources, domestic servitude is the primary destination for child and adult victims of human trafficking. And there are untold numbers of victims of domestic violence and spousal abuse. The 2013 World Health Organization report says that 33% of all women worldwide are victims of violence. And the US Government says that there are over 12 MILLION incidents of intimate partner violence and 1 MILLION intimate partner rapes every year.

The National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey (NISVS) “On average, 24 people per minute are victims of rape, physical violence, or stalking by an intimate partner in the United States, based on a survey conducted in 2010. Over the course of a year, that equals more than 12 million women and men. Those numbers only tell part of the story—more than 1 million women are raped in a year and over 6 million women and men are victims of stalking in a year. These findings emphasize that sexual violence, stalking, and intimate partner violence are important and widespread public health problems in the United States.”

Would it help ANY victim of domestic violence OR rape to prohibit marriage or prohibit consensual sex outside of marriage? Would it help battered wives or rape victims if we arrested the people who DO NOT COMMIT domestic violence and/ or who have NOT RAPED ANYONE? How would any child victim be helped by arresting consenting adult sex workers and their non violent, non abusive, non violent adult clients? www.iswface.org

www.policeprostitutionandpolitics.com

Part II- “What about the children?” According to the US Government, One out of ten victims of child sexual exploitation MAY have been the victim of sex trafficking... but the other 9 WERE victims of someone whom they knew and trusted... pillars of the community- such as Coach Jerry Sandusky; and Concord (CA) police officer and father of the victim - John Eric Freeman; and teacher Mark Berndt; and Boy Scout leader and Police Chief Ken Tomlinson; and Father Alejandro Castillo; and Jewish Social Services worker Andrew Goodman.. If the goal of anti- trafficking legislation really is to stop the sexual exploitation of minors, why does it not focus on that issue, regardless of whether the child is ‘trafficked’ into the sex trade? Does being a victim of ‘sex trafficking’ cause more psychological harm than being a victim of pedophile parents, step-parents, priests, teachers, preachers, coaches, boy scout leaders and law enforcement agents? Even the government acknowledges there are far fewer victims of ‘sex trafficking’ than there are victims of the pillars of the community... so perhaps it is a matter of saving the few because we can’t afford to save the many? It certainly costs much less to focus on the least number of victims rather than the greater number, but then it should be apparent to everyone that it is NOT a matter of ‘stopping the sexual exploitation of children.’ It is an ideological crusade against consenting adult prostitution, regardless of the actual- rather than intangible- harm that prohibition causes the alleged victims. Anti- sex trafficking laws- ARE NOT ABOUT “THE CHILDREN”

“...regarding child exploitation, I don't care if in all of the United States, there is a single child prostitute, THAT IS REASON ENOUGH TO KEEP IT ILLEGAL!” comments think4yourself on the NY daily News “What about the children? We must protect them from being *kidnapped by strangers and forced into sex trafficking... After all, most prostitutes begin life in prostitution as a juvenile... between 12 and 14 years of age... everyone says that, so it must be true...” Above: A ‘fact sheet’ flyer from the prostitution abolitionists- iwantrest.com NONE OF IT IS TRUE... But it does generate a lot of money for this and other ‘victim pimp’ organizations - because people want to believe it is true....

EXCEPT IT ISN’T TRUE... and we can prove it *Rachael Maddow and Todd Clear, Dean of Criminal Justice, Rutgers University say that such kidnappings are very rare... ...”The universe of kidnappings is relatively speaking a pretty small universe. Obviously, it`s a huge deal for anybody for anybody it happens to, anybody you know that it happens to, right? But when you`re close to those cases, they feel like the biggest deal in the world. But numerically speaking, statistically speaking, not talking about a large number of people to whom that happens.”

What about that often repeated BOGUS claim that ‘the average age of entry into prostitution is 12/ 13/ 14’? Wouldn’t that prove that even adult prostitutes did not enter prostitution by choice- because children cannot consent to engage in sex, regardless of their willingness to do so? The claim is false, which I will show, but, if it WERE true, why on earth would we arrest either minors or adults for engaging in commercial sex if they WERE forced into it? Is that what we do to victims of pedophiles or rapists or violent spouses? Evangelicals are especially eager to continue the arrest and incarceration of juveniles: Penny Young Nance- writer for the Christian Post, argues that it is important to continue to arrest juvenile victims regardless of whether or not they were forced into prostitution. She and her colleagues believe that it is best for victims to be further victimized so that the police have leverage to force them to testify against their alleged trafficker... "And add insult to injury, VAWA promotes the decriminalization of prostitution of minors by prohibiting the charging of a minor for a prostitution offense." I don't think these people have a clue what really happens within the so called 'criminal justice system.' According to women like Evann Gastaldo, arresting children for prostitution actually saves their lives... "Why We Must Arrest Child Prostitutes: IT MAY SOUND CRUEL, BUT IT COULD BE THE ONLY THING THAT SAVES THEM." Here is what actually happens when 'victims' are incarcerated: "Sexual abuse in prison is distressingly common: the Justice Department estimated that more than 217,000 prisoners, including at least 17,000 juveniles, were raped or sexually abused in America in 2008. A total of 12% of juvenile detainees... surveyed between 2008 and 2009 reported being forced into sex. And that is the number of people, not incidents; most victims are abused more than once. More inmates reported being abused by staff than by other inmates. Sex between guards and inmates is illegal in all 50 states." The Economist, May 5, 2011 “What about the children?” www.iswface.org

Even for victims in the US, the media and abolitionist organizations such as “SAGE” either deliberately or unintentionally, frequently misquote its sources, stating that “there are 300,000 children trafficked into prostitution each year,” when that figure actually references the number of children* AT RISK of being trafficked,

NOT those who WERE trafficked. From the Crimes against Children Research Center: Sex Trafficking of Minors: How Many Juveniles Are Being Prostituted in the US? (revised in 2012) Michelle Stransky and David Finkelhor

“There have been many attempts to estimate the number of juvenile prostitutes within the United States. These estimates range from 1,400 to 2.4 million, although most [estimates] fall between 300,000 and 600,000. BUT PLEASE DO NOT CITE THESE NUMBERS. READ ON. A close look at these diverse estimates reveals that none are based on a strong scientific foundation. They are mostly educated guesses or extrapolations based on questionable assumptions... The reality is that we do not currently know how many juveniles are involved in prostitution.

Scientifically credible estimates do not exist. Despite the fact that the General Accounting Office estimates are obsolete, current groups concerned with child welfare still use this estimate.... As this critique of estimates suggest, there is currently no reliable estimate of juveniles who are prostituted in the US. Some current estimates are based upon “gut hunches” and “guesstimates” from almost thirty years ago. Others offer definitions of sexual exchanges that may not actually constitute prostitution. Also, the methods used to create these estimates are often difficult to find, making them methodologically suspect. Organizations may recognize these problems but continue to cite such poorly calculated estimates. [um... like the POLARIS PROJECT????] For brief treatments of the problem, one can say simply: “Unfortunately, there are no credible or supported estimates about the size of the problem.” For more extended treatments of the problem, one can cite some of the statistics, but then indicate that these numbers are based mostly on guesses or extremely imprecise and speculative methodologies. It would be a good idea when citing any numbers to be sure to include the low end estimate from law enforcement of 1,400, since this is among the most recent and clearly defined of the estimates, and counters the assumption that all the estimates are large."

But it is essentially a guesstimate and not a scientific estimate. * According the the FBI Bureau of Criminal Statistics, any person under age 18 is considered a ‘child’ for purposes of statistical reporting, even in states where the age of consent is 16. “What about the children?” www.iswface.org

“Where did that claim come from?” In 2001, researchers at the University of Pennsylvania, School of Social work and Center for the Study of Youth Policy, Richard J. Estes and Neil Alan Weiner conducted a study to see how pervasive the sexual exploitation of children was, in the age of globalization and increasing travel. The study was of JUVENILES, and did NOT include anyone over the age of 18. Generally, people over 18 are not considered juveniles any longer, despite their inclusion in the prostitution abolitionist framework.

The Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children In the U. S., Canada and Mexico Executive Summary (Of the U.S. National Study) The purpose of the study? “The benefits of economic globalization, internationalization, and free trade have brought with them an unanticipated set of social problems. Among them is what appears to be a dramatic rise worldwide in theincidence of child exploitation. Among the most virulent forms of this exploitation is child sexual exploitation(hereafter “CSE")—including their commercial sexual exploitation of children (hereafter “CSEC”). Child pornography, juvenile prostitution and trafficking in children for sexual purposes have emerged as significant problems on the national, regional, and international stages. So, too, has child sex tourism. CSE and the CSEC appear to be related in complex ways with other forms of child exploitation, such as the use of children in labor, drug and warfare settings.” Wouldn’t the fact that it was a study of JUVENILE PROSTITUTES and NOT OF ALL PROSTITUTES be a rather important detail to mention when talking about this issue? Why leave it out if your motives are pure? Because there aren’t enough juvenile prostitutes to generate the vast amounts of money that claims of ‘protecting the children’ generate? Any rational person could see that the average age of entry into prostitution cannot be 12 or 13 or 14, unless, at the lower end, the unfertilized eggs and sperm of couples who have NOT YET MET were being ‘prostituted.’ Is the Average Age Of Entry Into Sex Trafficking Between 12 and 14? Asks journalist Janie Har in her March 2nd, 2013 article in the Oregonian PolitiFact.com. She rated the statement ‘half true,’ although where I come from, something is either true or it isn’t. Are there 12 to 14 years olds - and younger- who are ‘trafficked into prostitution’? Yes. But that is NOT the ‘average age of entry’ into prostitution, no matter how you slice it. The following page contains a significant quotation of her article and links to some of the persons who responded to her query.

WHAT STUDIES????? The study these politicians and faith based organizations like to quote was of JUVENILE PROSTITUTES http://www.politifact.com/oregon/statements/2013/mar/02/diane-mckeel/Is-average-age-entry-sex-trafficking-between-12-an/

by Janie Har “Statistics about sex trafficking, especially about minors, are notoriously difficult to document. For example, this newspaper once tried to show whether Portland is the child sex trafficking hub that elected officials and national media say it is, only to find that nobody really knew. ... Multnomah County Commissioner Diane McKeel, an east county resident who has made combating human trafficking, especially child sex trafficking, a priority. McKeel told columnist Elizabeth Hovde, who writes for The Oregonian’s editorial page, that the average age of entry into the sex trade industry is 12 to 14. It’s not the first time McKeel has cited the statistic. In a 2010 guest column about at-risk girls, she also wrote that "studies show the average age of entry into prostitution is 12 to 14 years old." A statistical average between 12 and 14? Wouldn’t that mean a large number under 12? Also, was she talking about the average age of entry for all trafficked prostitutes, including adults? Or just juveniles? The analysis The commissioner’s office provided us with numerous links. Many of the sources go back to a 2001 University of Pennsylvania study....the number in question is on page 92, under the section "ages of first intercourse and entry into juvenile prostitution." The age range of entry for boys "was somewhat younger than that of the girls, i.e. 11-13 years vs. 12-14 years, respectively." We emailed Dr. Richard Estes, the lead author, to learn more about sample size and methodology. His response was not illuminating. "Any numbers you come across, even mine, represent best estimates of the situation. Because of the secretive and hidden nature of the problem it simply is not possible to get an accurate ‘head count.’" Another widely cited report comes from a Vancouver, Wash., based group called Shared Hope International. The 2009 report states that "research has shown that the average age of entry into prostitution and pornography is 12 to 14 years old in the United States." There’s no research citation, but there is a pie chart breaking down age of entry into prostitution, based on a Clark County, Nevada, survey of girls arrested for prostitution-related offenses. The 96 girls were ages 11 to 17. We did the math, and the average we got was 14.96, almost 15 years old. That’s young, but not 12 or 13.... continued next page... www.iswface.org

...CONTINUED from previous page http://www.politifact.com/oregon/statements/2013/mar/02/diane-mckeel/Is-average-age-entry-sex-trafficking-between-12-an/ by Janie Har--

... We scoured the Internet for more sources, reading abstracts and tracking down anyone who might have a clue. A criminology professor we queried wrote back saying that "good estimates are hard to find, and good data are harder yet" and wished us luck. He directed us to yet another paper, which we read, diligently... We queried the U.S. Department of Justice. McKeel’s office provided links to testimony and a report tied to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, which state the average ages as 11 to 14, or 12. But a

spokeswoman at the Bureau of Justice Statistics said those are not bureau numbers and that the bureau has no average age for entry into sex trafficking... Eventually, we spoke with David Finkelhor, director of the Crimes Against Children Research Center at the University of New Hampshire, and a respected researcher in the area. He, too, had nothing concrete but offered skepticism. The average age is higher if adults are included. Older teens simply may escape survey. "There isn’t a lot of good research on this; they’re relatively small samples," he said. But he did suggest another academic article, which led us to Dominique Roe-Sepowitz, a professor at the School of Social Work at Arizona State University. Is the average age of entry into prostitution and sex trafficking between 12 to 14 years old?

"That is statistically impossible," the professor said. "If she were to say, minor trafficking often starts between the ages of 12 and 14 across the country, that is somewhat supported."

In the end, the Oregonian PolitiFact rated the statement “Half True” To which we say, REALLY? How can it be ‘half true’ if it isn’t true at all? And we have the stats from the FBI arrest records for the past 32 years to prove it! “What about the children?” www.iswface.org

First, let’s start with just numbers of female prostitution arrests over 32 years from 1981 to 2012: FEMALE ARRESTS FOR PROSTITUTION OVER A 32 YEAR PERIOD 1981- 2012:

• Female arrests all 1981- 2012: 1,954,426 (listed by age on the spreadsheets) of this number 1.81% or 35,371 were UNDER 18, and 98.19% or 1,919,046 were over 18 ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦

the majority were 17: followed by age 16: then by age 15: age 13-14: age 10 to 12: age under 10:

17,235 9,124 5,082 3,477 259 187

No matter how you slice it, it is not possible to have this many arrests of adult female prostitutes vs. arrests of females under 18 and have an ‘average age of entry’ into prostitution be 12 OR 13 OR 14... cops clearly were arresting minors, including children under 10 years of age.

• Of those over 18, the majority were ages 25- 34: 781,079 ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦

age 18- 20: age 21-24: total 18 to 24: total 21 to 29 total over 30 total 21- 65+:

240,033 431,436 671,469 876,752 803,065 1,679,817

All of the statistics relating to the age, gender and number of arrests of females (and males) can be found on the FBI Bureau of Justice Statistics, using the following annual tables by these table numbers: TABLE # 38-  Arrests all by age (male and female) TABLE #39-  Arrests - male- by age TABLE #40-  Arrests- female by age TABLE #42-  Arrests all ages by gender

The data in the table below was taken from the FBI Bureau of Justice Statistics using the Data Analysis Tool found on their site here: SOURCE: http://bjs.ojp.usdoj.gov/index.cfm?ty=datool&surl=/arrests/index.cfm#

The police DID arrests females under 10, as well as under age 15, so there is no reason to believe that they left out the majority of 12 to 14 year old girls. The average age of arrested females is about 25 to 29, as they constitute the largest group of females arrested for prostitution. One would have to believe that in order to have started working as a prostitute at age 12, they never got arrested until they were in their mid to late 20s, and for the females arrested in their 40s, 50s, and 60s- they would have had a very lengthy career - in some cases 45 years. Since some studies claim that the average age of death for prostitutes is 34, but there are far too many prostitutes over 35 for that to be true, especially if they got their start in prostitution at age 12. See the statistics for murders of prostitutes in the section “murder by circumstances” on this page:

Next, let’s review the numbers of female arrests for *disorderly conduct over 32 years from 1981 to 2012: FEMALE ARRESTS DISORDERLY CONDUCT OVER A 30 YEAR PERIOD 1981- 2012: (*not all arrests for D.C. were instead of a prostitution arrest, but we suspect that many of them are, particularly where the prostitution laws are not as vague as they are in California and it takes more effort to prove a 'solicitation' or 'intent to commit' prostitution )

Female arrests disorderly conduct all 1981- 2012: 4,828,643 of this number, 1,309,448 were under 18 27.12% Still have a majority of female arrests for disorderly conduct over age 25... and 3,519,197 were over 18 72.88% We do not have any way to know how many of Of those under 18, numbers are: these arrests were instead of prostitution ◦ age 17: 236,300 solicitation. Nevertheless we can conclude that ◦ age 16: 270,295 the statement that the “average age of entry into ◦ age 15: 283,678 prostitution is 12/ 13/14” ◦ age 13-14: 401,44 IS NOT TRUE! ◦ age 10-12: 107,480 ◦ age under 10: 10,244 • Of those over 18, the majority were ages 25+ :2,918,587 (60.44%) • age 18- 20: 600,617 • ages 21 to 24: 734,589 The number of males arrested for prostitution • ages 25- 29: 665,691 and disorderly conduct can be found on our site. • age 30- 65+ were: 1,518,307

More government stats on child prostitutes: Operation Cross Country rescues, wasted resources and failure to find victims... JUST HOW SERIOUS IS THE CRISIS OF UNDERAGE PROSTITUTES NATIONWIDE? HERE ARE SOME ARREST/ RESCUE STATISTICS FROM THE FBI 2011 TO 2013 [these are the numbers and stats provided by the US Government, and are not estimates or guesses- but the number of persons actually taken into custody by law enforcement agents] Operation Cross Country 2011- 2013 numbers by Federal Bureau of Investigation with local police departments, State Police and National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) • 8,500 state, local, and federal officers in • 173 cities US cities (for an average of 1.45 rescues per city) • over a total of 9 days- RESULTING IN: • 253 children "rescued" [under age 18] • 349 alleged pimps arrested The above graph shows the statistics of arrests/ rescues, number of agents involved, cities and days sting operation conducted 2011- 2013

Hmm... if there were only 253 children rescued/arrested total ) that means that each child rescue/ arrest required 33 law enforcement agents per ‘rescue’; and if those 349 alleged pimps shared 253 child prostitutes, (perhaps they utilized some sort of child prostitute time sharing???) how did they make any money at all? That would be about .75 juvenile prostitutes (not even one whole child) per pimp- how on earth did any of those alleged pimps make ANY money off their pimping efforts? Yet the cops had 9+ days to find more victims and pimps... does this sound like there is a crisis? And how old were the 'children'? The ages of the arrested/ rescued children were not noted in the press release of this rescue operation.... but we know from the arrest stats from the FBI that the majority of underage persons arrested were 17... which, in many states, is over the age of consent. ...continued next page www.iswface.org

...continued from previous page From the FBI website: for years prior to 2011 (2011- 2013 stats on previous page) “The Innocence Lost National Initiative was launched in 2003 by the FBI’s Criminal Investigative Division in partnership with NCMEC and the Department of Justice’s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section. To date (2011), 47 Innocence Lost Task Forces and working groups have recovered more than 2,200 children from the streets. The investigations and subsequent 1,017 convictions of pimps, madams, and their associates who exploit children through prostitution have resulted in lengthy sentences—including multiple sentences of 25 years to life in prison—and the seizure of more than $3 million in assets.”

Let’s do the math: “47 Innocence Lost Task Forces” over 10 years arrested 2,200 children= 46 ‘rescued’ juveniles per task force “2,200” children rescued over 10 years (2003 to 2012)= 220 rescues per year “1,017” pimps, madams and associates convicted in those 10 years= 101.7 convictions per year “$3 million in assets” over ten years = $300,000 per year or $2,970 per pimp/ madam per year PREVIOUS STING OPERATIONS MULTIPLE AGENCIES RESULT IN VERY FEW CHILD ARRESTS-Mostly ADULTS (It should be noted that the purpose of these sting operations was to find and 'rescue' minors. The US Government considers anyone under 18 as a 'child.' Many of the 'children' 'rescued' were 17. We believe it is misleading to designate all teenagers as 'children' but without that designation, neither the government or the 'Rescue and Rehabilitate' organizations would garner nearly the financial support from the public as does the emotional concept of 'poor little children' being forced into prostitution. We do not condone child sexual exploitation by ANYONE, but we also do not condone the use of terminology that misleads the public into believing something that is simply NOT true. A 17 year old teenager is not a child. The age of consent in many states is 16. The US government does not recognize the age of consent lower than 18, so regardless of the actual status in any particular state, all persons under 18 are, according to the federal government, 'children.') • • • • •

FROM THE POLARIS PROJECT- WHOSE FUNDING COMES IN DIRECT PROPORTION TO THE NUMBER OF ‘ESTIMATED’ HUMAN TRAFFICKING VICTIMS: “With 100,000 children estimated to be in the sex trade in the United States each year, it is clear that the total number of human trafficking victims in the U.S. reaches into the hundreds of thousands when estimates of both adults and minors and sex trafficking and labor trafficking are aggregated.” FROM CNN: “The data on human trafficking is sparse, but what is known is terrifying. It's already the second largest criminal industry in the world -- behind only the trade in illegal drugs -- and it's growing fast. The global commercial sex trade exploits one million children annually. At least 100,000 and perhaps as many as 300,000 children in America are victims of sex trafficking each year.” ...but... but... but... if there are 100,000 to 300,000 children being trafficked into prostitution EVERY YEAR, why can’t all those ‘rescue raids’ find more than 220 on average per year?

That leaves us with an annual deficit of 99,780 children (based on the 100,000 guesstimated trafficked children per year) or 299,780 children NOT found if there are ‘300,000’ children trafficked into prostitution... and that’s just the children... what about the adults who are not found? Over the ten years that these raids were being conducted, if the average number of rescues per year is only 220, this means we have a total deficit of 997,800 children yet to be found (based on the 100,000 per year guesstimate) and a deficit of 2,997,800 children not rescued if we use the CNN 300,000 child trafficking victims ‘guesstimate.’

Above graph shows all female minors arrested from 1981 to 2012also find graph on page 235

In 1982, there were 2,316 female minors arrested for prostitution. Okay- so the ones who were under 12 would become adults within 10 years Of these, 1,278 were age 17, the ones who were 12/ 13 or 14 would become adults within 6, 5 and 4 years and 585 were age 16 respectively, but still... if these children are being sold over the internet on adult (see graph for all other ages) ad venues such as backpage.com and craigslist,

why can’t more of them be found?

WHERE ARE THEY?

In 2012 there were 470 female minors arrested, of which 241 were 17, and 137 were 16.

If the government was really serious about stopping the sex trafficking of children, why would a cop who pimped a thirteen year old girl - and several other minors - be sentenced to little over three years in prison? 2011 NYPD Detective Wayne Taylor “BROOKLYN (NY) - A mother says a former NYPD detective pimped out her 13-year-old daughter and forced her to dance naked at parties and have sex with "as many as eight or nine men" in a single night. The girl says Det. Wayne Taylor "bought" her for $500 and threatened to arrest her for prostitution if she didn't follow his orders. H.H. and her mother sued the City of New York, the New York Police Department and Wayne S. Taylor in Federal Court. Taylor was arrested and pleaded guilty to attempted kidnapping and promoting prostitution in 2008, according to the complaint and to contemporary news reports. He served more than 3 years before he was paroled in January. H.H. says Taylor, a longtime NYPD officer and detective, "was known by the defendants NYPD and city to have had improper relationships with prostitutes, including prostitutes who were minors. Indeed, prior to the events at issue in this complaint, Taylor was disciplined by the NYPD in relation to having had an improper relationship with an under-age prostitute." She adds: "Taylor had been assigned to the NYPD's Organized Crime Control Bureau, a notoriously corrupt and poorly supervised bureau that was scandalized by the arrests of dozens of its officers for corruption and worse." But the city kept Taylor on the job despite his shady record, H.H. says. She says she met Taylor and his girlfriend, Zalika Brown, in January 2008. She says Taylor was accompanied by other women, "named 'Crystal,' 'Honey,' and 'Muffin,' who appeared to be prostitutes." The complaint continues: "At the time, H.H. was 13 years old. "Thereafter, Taylor told H.H. that she had been 'sold' to Taylor and Brown for $500. "Taylor threatened H.H. that if she would not do as he directed and work as a prostitute, performing sex acts for money, he would use his power as a police officer to have her arrested for prostitution, and that if she did as he instructed she would have no problems with the police.” http://www.courthousenews.com/2011/10/13/40584.htm “What about the children?” www.iswface.org

But he isn’t the only cop pimping minors.... Former cop charged in sex trafficking case

Feb 02, 2012 Reading PA “A sex trafficking ring has ensnared a former police officer who once served as vice president of a borough council, officials said. Ronald Miko was arrested Thursday in connection with a sex trafficking ring that operated out of Reading, federal officials said. Federal investigators alleged that Miko, 37, helped arrange sexual encounters with known prostitutes. It was all part of a web-based prostitution company that offered services like strippers, role playing and overnights, officials said. Authorities said the company was run by Paul Sewell, who referred to himself as "God." Federal agents alleged that Miko offered advice to Sewell about women who Sewell employed, knowing that they were employed as prostitutes... Investigators also alleged that Miko, while wearing his Reading police officer uniform, and driving a Reading police cruiser, visited the business which operated out of homes located at 214 N. 10th St. and 209 Fisher Ct. in Reading. Officials said Paul Sewell and a partner, Michael Johnson, were charged by a federal grand jury in July 2010. U.S. authorities alleged that Miko wired money to Johnson's prison account at the Federal Detention Center as a bribe, all to prevent criminal investigators from finding out that he, Miko, was involved in the business... http://www.wfmz.com/news/news-regional-berks/Former-cop-charged-in-…fficking-case/-/121418/8586922/-/view/print/-/l6huvlz/-/index.html Miko used a room in a house owned by Sewell - who identified himself as "God" -in the 200 block of North 10th Street, where Sewell and codefendant Michael Johnson operated an Internet-based call girl operation named "God's Prostitutes." A nearby house in the 200 block of Fisher Court also was used for the business. The ring operators branded the prostitutes, with names such as "God's Rebel" and "God's Taken" tattooed on the back of their necks.

Some of the prostitutes were underage girls..

An FBI press release of September 24, 2012 announced that Ronald Miko, 37, of Reading, Pennsylvania, was sentenced today to 38 months in prison for obstruction of a criminal investigation.

Again- that’s a little over 3 years... for pimping children?????????????

And yet another cop charged in (December) 2013: Linwood Barnhill, D.C. Cop Accused of "Pimping" Teens, Arrested “Police have found at least two alleged victims of a D.C. officer charged with "pimping" teenage girls” “A veteran D.C. police officer charged with prostituting two teenage girls had been investigated over allegations of drug use and running a prostitution ring out of his Southeast apartment as early as 2011”

If, with the statistics provided by the FBI, you are still persuaded that “the average age of entry into prostitution could possibly be 12/ 13/ 14,” perhaps you ought to hire a statistician to do the math for you. That said, what should we do about those minors who are trafficked into prostitution? Should the cops arrest them and put them at risk of being raped in jail? By the staff? Should they be returned to their families where the situation may have been so awful that it led them to run away in the first place? ...where the boyfriend, parent, step parent or sibling may have been sexually exploiting them?

As reported in The Economist, May 5, 2011, inmate rape is extremely common- primarily by prison/ jail staff, including rape of juvenile inmates. This is by no means an anomaly- June 9, 2013, the report from the Justice Department claims that “hundreds of teenagers are raped or sexually assaulted during their stays in the country’s juvenile detention facilities, and many are victimized repeatedly... MOST OFTEN perpetrated BY STAFF...” http://www.propublica.org/documents/item/709100-svjfry12-emb-052813

Putting teens in jail to protect them, only to get raped by the staff... is that what society believes is necessary to prevent them from becoming victims of predatory pimps or men seeking minors for sexual services? Is this what we do to the over 90% of child sexual exploitation victims whose predator is someone whom they know and trust? Do we arrest and incarcerate the victims of coaches like convicted serial pedophile Jerry Sandusky? Or the daughters of Keith Brown, of the musical group- “the Five Browns...” Their father, a pillar of the Mormon community, sexually molested all the female children throughout their childhood. Only when he expressed an interest in mentoring other young females to nurture their musical careers did they speak up and expose their father for the monster he was. He was sentenced to a mere 10 years in prison for the decades of abuse of his own children. There are good reasons for some youth to run away from an abusive situation. Here are some statistics about non commercial sexual abuse of minors: 10 Facts About Child Sexual Abuse - Statistics on Child Sexual Abuse November 2011: Most Victims Molested By Someone They Know and Trust Child sexual abuse is a devastating crime whose victims are those least able to protect themselves or speak out and whose perpetrators are most likely to be repeat offenders. Many pedophiles follow career paths that provide steady contact with children and earn them the trust of other adults. Priests, coaches, and those who work with troubled youth are among the professions that child molesters have gravitated toward. Unfortunately, child sexual abuse is also a significantly under-reported crime that is difficult to prove and prosecute. Most perpetrators of child molestation, incest and child rape are never identified and caught. The following 10 facts and statistics, drawn from the National Center for Victims of Crime "Child Sexual Abuse" fact sheet, reveals the scope of child sexual abuse in the U.S. and its devastating long-term impact on a child's life: The almost 90,000 cases of child sexual abuse reported each year fall far short of the actual number. Abuse frequently goes unreported because child victims are afraid to tell anyone what happened and the legal procedure for validating an episode is difficult. (American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry) An estimated 25% of girls and 16% of boys experience sexual abuse before they are 18 years old. Statistics for boys may be falsely low because of reporting techniques. (Ann Botash, MD, in Pediatric Annual, May 1997.) ...continued next page www.iswface.org

(non commercial) Child Sexual Abuse Stats continued... Of all victims of sexual assault reported to law enforcement agencies ◦ 67% were under age 18 ◦ 34% were under age 12 ◦ 14% were under age 6 Of offenders who victimized children under age 6, 40% were under age 18. (Bureau of Justice Statistics, 2000.) Despite what children are taught about "stranger danger," most child victims are abused by someone they know and trust. When the abuser is not a family member, the victim is more often a boy than a girl. The results of a three-state study of reported rape survivors under age 12 revealed the following about offenders:

◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦

96% were known to their victims 50% were acquaintances or friends 20% were fathers 16% were relatives 4% were strangers Advocates for Youth, 1995

Often, a parent's connection (or lack thereof) to his/her child puts that child at greater risk of being sexually abused. The following characteristics are indicators of increased risk: ◦ parental inadequacy ◦ parental unavailability ◦ parent-child conflict ◦ poor parent-child relationship (David Finkelhor. "Current Information on the Scope and Nature of Child Sexual Abuse." The Future of Children, 1994) Children are most vulnerable to sexual abuse between the ages of 7 and 13. (Finkelhor, 1994) Child sexual abuse involves coercion and occasionally violence. Perpetrators offer attention and gifts, manipulate or threaten the child, behave aggressively or use a combination of these tactics. In one study of child victims, half were subjected to physical force such as being held down, struck, or violently shaken. (Judith Becker, "Offenders: Characteristics and Treatment." The Future of Children, 1994.) Girls are the victims of incest and/or intrafamily sexual abuse much more frequently than boys. Between 33-50% of perpetrators who sexually abuse girls are family members, while only 10-20% of those who sexually abuse boys are intrafamily perpetrators. Intrafamily abuse continues over a longer period of time than sexual abuse outside the family, and some forms -- such as parent-child abuse -- have more serious and lasting consequences.(Finkelhor, 1994.)

What are we going to do to protect children from those who make up the majority of sexual predators... predators who are family members (including siblings, parents, step parents), friends of the parents, boyfriends of the mothers, neighbors, babysitters, priests, preachers, rabbis, imams, teachers, coaches, politicians, police officers, corrections officers, FBI Agents, Border Patrol Agents, ICE Agents etc.? And what about those in power who protect THOSE pedophiles- such as Cardinal Roger Mahony- who sent pedophile priests to other parishes where they continued to molest children- all because Mahony was afraid that turning those priests over to the cops would interfere with his personal ‘agenda’ for the LA Catholic Archdiocese (and possibly becoming Pope one day)? Michael Wempe (above) admitted to sexually abusing 13 boys during his 36 years in the Los Angeles Archdiocese. At the end of a high-profile trial in which a series of victims recounted the priest’s abuses, he was convicted in 2006 of molesting one boy.

Again, are we going to arrest the children- as we do with child prostitutesor are we going to arrest and punish the adults who sexually abuse them? Are we going to ‘create awareness’ of how very many non-commercial sexual encounters occur between predatory adults and their non- sex trafficked child victimsor are we going to ignore this, the far greater problem than child sex trafficking and leave these victims to fend for themselves?

Unfortunately for those victims, there isn’t much money in ‘creating awareness’ of the far greater number of child sexual exploitation victims of predators who do not seek to buy sexual services from children. And despite the *vast number of cases of cops sexually exploiting children, most likely there aren’t going to be any celebrities embracing a crusade against pedophile law enforcement agents. *A long and horrific list of law enforcement agents who were caught having sex with minors or with possessing child pornography can be found at the end of this presentation. They are part of the 90% of all child sexual exploitation predators who do not pay for their victims.

What about protecting children who are NOT victims of sexual exploitation? Is this crusade to abolish all prostitution really about ‘saving the children’? Because if it is, can someone please explain why this was allowed to happen? The case of 8 year old Gabriel Fernandez: May 28, 2013

Protesters Demand Change After Palmdale (CA)Boy's Torture Death “Officials failed to respond to numerous reports that the boy was being abused, long before he died, his teacher said

Long before 8-year-old Gabriel died, his relatives, teachers and even other mothers at school saw signs he was being brutally beaten at his Southern California home, where he lived with his mother and her boyfriend. Protesters on Monday demanded justice for Gabriel - and measures to protect other children from a similar fate. They said the boy's case exposes critical failures in a system meant to protect children. Gabriel was living with his grandparents until October, when his mother, Pearl Fernandez, 29, won legal custody of him. Now, Fernandez is accused of allowing her boyfriend, Isauro Aguirre, 32, to torture her youngest child to death. They were both in custody and Aguirre was expected to be charged with murder Tuesday. Protesters, who plan to attend Aguirre's Tuesday arraignment, are

accusing the Department of Child and Family Services of failing to respond to months of complaints that Gabriel was being abused. The teacher said she had frequently contacted the Department of Child and Family Services,

workers did nothing.

but the agency's social

On Wednesday, deputies found the first-grader's broken body at his home in Palmdale, about 60 miles northeast of Los Angeles. Gabriel was barely breathing. His bones were broken. He had burn marks all over his body and he bore wounds that indicated he had been tied up and tortured... He died Friday at a hospital.” AND: “The alleged torture and death of an 8-year-old boy in Palmdale has prompted investigations into how Los

Angeles County authorities handled repeated complaints of abuse at his home...The Sheriff's Department also will review its handling of the case. Child abuse complaints sent deputies to the home several times.”

AND YET THEY DID NOTHING......

And what about the 6,000 ‘mishandled’ child abuse cases in Arizona that were not investigated? Arizona’s Child Protective Services division has uncovered thousands of uninvestigated child abuse allegations dating back to 2009- because we care so much about what happens to children?????? www.iswface.org

According to prostitution abolitionists/ victim pimps like Melissa Farley, ‘prostitution is like rape...’ regardless of how individual prostitutes feel about the work we do... They say prostitutes are victims of rape because we cannot consent to being ‘endlessly used and abused by men.’ According to these victims pimps, we cannot consent because whores are incapable of knowing that we are being victimized, or may be too traumatized to admit we are being abused, so they must protect us by punishing us or the men who know our value and pay it, to help us realize we are victims! That’s not to say we aren’t victims of rape, and unfortunately, very often the rapist is a law enforcement officer. And when a prostitute reports being raped by a law enforcement officer, very rarely are they believed. And if an investigation results in an arrest of the cop, prosecutors don’t always take the case- because they don’t think that a jury will believe a cop raped a whore... and don’t want to waste their time. But isn’t just prostitutes whose cop rapists are seldom brought to justice- NON prostitute rape victims are not likely to see their rapists charged with any crime at all... because, according to many in law enforcement, it is difficult to prove to a jury that the rape victim DID NOT CONSENT to the sex (even if she says she did not consent). Farley contends that because prostitution is ‘like rape’ (even if we say we did consent), ‘prostitution is bad for the body, bad for the heart...’ Surely then, if a non prostitute woman does not consent to being raped, that would be equally bad for her body and bad for her heart, compounded by the outrage she must feel knowing that the cops pursue very few REAL rapists, despite her reporting the crime and undergoing an invasive procedure to obtain DNA evidence. And wouldn’t it be horrifically ‘bad for the body and bad for the heart’ of a prostitute when COPS are the rapists? Especially when the cop gets away with it because the victim is a prostitute? With so much ‘badness’ for the bodies and hearts of prostitutes and non prostitutes alike, how shall we determine which of the victims will receive the attention of the criminal justice system and the benefit of scarce law enforcement resources to address the surely equally appalling situationsin which ONE of the victims reported being a victim and asked for help, and the other DID NOT? Given the high number of arrests of prostitutes (for their own good, of course) compared to the very insignificant ratio of arrests to reported rapes, and prosecutions of alleged rapists, it seems that the non crime reporting, consenting adult female prostitute is the winner here... at least as far as having those scarce resources squandered on undercover sting operations in which the undercover cop MAY HAVE SEX with the ‘suspected victim’ and the cops frequently need a minimum of 7 officers to make an arrest of each ‘suspected victim/prostitute...’ LUCKY US! www.iswface.org

“Prostitution is like rape...”

...except when prostitutes actually get raped

According to advocates of the elimination of all prostitution, prostitutes cannot consent to engage in prostitution, therefore even when a prostitute contends she has chosen to work as a sex worker, her consent doesn’t count. She is, according to the prostitution abolitionists, a victim of rape or sex trafficking. But when prostitutes are actually victims of rape and report the crime, the police and prosecutors claim there is a ‘question of consent’- which means they are not likely to pursue or prosecute such cases. This is a very convenient policy for the cops who rape prostitutes... www.iswface.org

Real Rape Victims Get Screwed

Melissa Farley is the radical feminist researcher mentioned previously, and, as noted, is an ardent prostitution abolitionist whose world view is that all ‘prostitution is like rape,’ and claims that ‘prostitution is bad for the body, bad for the heart‘ regardless of whether the prostitute is adult or consented. Why providing pleasure for pay would be bad for the body OR the heart, unless sex with multiple partners FOR FREE is also bad for women. Her concern is never for male sex workers- in her world, neither they or transgendered prostitutes exist. So whether or not it is bad for them, she simply doesn’t care. Perhaps she is unaware of the many scientific studies (as opposed to her ideologically driven ‘studies’) which show that sex is actually very good for men AND women. Those studies didn’t limit the benefits of sexual activities only to married couples, but claim that sex in general is a great stress reducer and life extender. It goes without saying that the positive benefits of sex in such studies refers to consensual and adult sexual activity, not rape or sex with minors. One does not need to be a researcher to recognize that rape- truly coerced sex- is harmful to the victim. And despite arguments by agenda driven abolitionists, when someone has been violently raped or sexually assaulted, they do not need to be convinced of the emotional damage, trauma and pain that result. It can take years of therapy and powerful antidepressants to relieve that trauma and to resume a normal and enjoyable sex life with someone, including their long time partner (unless the partner was the rapist).

Real Rape Victims Get Screwed

“Prostitution is like rape...”

Unfortunately, in some states, a violent sexual encounter is only legally considered ‘rape’ if it involved vaginal penetration. Anal or oral penetration are not considered rape no matter how violence. Which is ironic because much of the sexual activity performed by sex workers does not involve vaginal penetration, and yet to those abolitionists, it is still ‘like rape.’ Minors are said to be victims of rape even if they consent, if the sex partner is an adult more than a certain number of years older than the minor. In some states, the age difference is 5 years; in others, an 18 year old who has sex with his/ her 17 year old boyfriend/ girlfriend, is considered a rapist if the age of consent in their state is 18... but if the age of consent is 16 or even lower, then they are not a rapist. One state may require a lifetime sex offender registry for the ‘rapist’ even if the ‘rapist’ marries the ‘victim,’ while a state right next door will consider their behavior perfectly legal. There is ‘date rape’ and marital rape and stranger rape, and if a woman who is in the midst of sexual intercourse with her lover and at the last minute decides she no longer consents but the man doesn’t stop, it is rape. When a woman is drunk and allegedly incapable of giving consent, and an equally drunk male partner has sex with her anyway, it is rape. There are many degrees of rape, some include violence, others do not. Only the victim can quantify the degree of emotional pain and suffering that result from not consenting to an act of sex. When everything is called ‘rape,’ even when the alleged victim denies being raped, the emotional damage that real rape victims experience is ‘devalued’ and diluted. Real rapists must be delighted to know that cops are much less likely to investigate their crimes because the cops are too busy setting up stings to arrest sex worker ‘victims’ or their non violent clients. Imagine the confusion of the real victim who was violently sexually assaulted and who reported the crime only to learn that the cops may or may not investigate, that their rape kit may not be processed, their rapist may never be caught or punished because their government believes it is more important to ‘rescue’ adult women who have not asked for help. Our federal, state and local governments have once again signed on to the ideological crusade of some radical feminists and religious conservatives who believe that ‘prostitution is like rape’ and ‘ought to be eliminated.’ Indeed, real rape victims get screwed! www.iswface.org

Joe Biden: Abused Women Fear They Will 'Get Raped Again By The System' By JOSH LEDERMAN 05/01/13

Vice President Joe Biden says many women who are raped or physically abused don't report it because they don't want, in his words, "to get raped again by the system." WASHINGTON --

Biden says many women who are abused are ashamed and embarrassed. He says it takes enormous courage for women to come forward and ask for help after being victims of domestic violence.

He says legal help for domestic violence victims is critical to freeing them from being imprisoned by their circumstances. [but he did not suggest that we outlaw marriage to protect women] Biden spoke Wednesday night at a fundraiser at a Washington hotel for the DC Volunteer Lawyers Project.

Biden says women are afraid to leave abusers because they'd be leaving their children touting the recently re-authorized Violence Against Women Act as critical to helping women escape violent situations.

Perhaps these women, who are being raped and abused (including by husbands), realize that the police are more interested in pursuing and arresting men whose only ‘crime’ is that they are willing to pay for sexual services than they are in pursuing and arresting the men who rape and abuse THEM????? That would certainly account for the reluctance on the part of victims to go to the police... Can there be any other explanation for the May 2013 Upstate NY sting operation that netted over 100 arrests of men seeking commercial sexual services of adult women? These men were NOT seeking underage girls- but adult women... Or the NYPD sting which netted 156 ‘johns’ in second massive prostitution bust in metropolitan area that same week- also adult men seeking ADULT sex workers? www.iswface.org

A good place to start examining this claim is with the actual statistics on reported violent rapes, sexual assaults and domestic violence cases compared to actual numbers of arrests for prostitution, and the number of ‘crisis human trafficking calls’ as reported by the National Human Trafficking Resource Center | Polaris Project ... which was awarded the government contract to track and monitor human trafficking. You might say they have a vested interest in inflating the number of ‘guesstimated’ victims, and whenever there seems to be an increased number of alleged victims based on the number of phone calls they receive, it is an occasion to send out press releases to tout the ‘groundswell of interest’ in the rise in the number of calls from people identifying themselves as victims which shot up from “773 in 2011 to 2,393 in 2012.” The US Government reported that violent rapes and sexual assaults went up from 244,190 in 2011 to 346,830 in 2012... But hey, what’s an increase of over 100,000 victims of violent rape and sexual assault compared to an increase of in PHONE CALLS which MIGHT relate to human trafficking (and which many of those alleged phone calls are missing anyway- like 1,142 of the ‘potential victims referenced calls) ?

The number of college women who were raped is an estimate- and like the ‘guesstimates’ for the number of sex trafficking victims, may be highly over-inflated (usually for political reason$).

Real Rape Victims Get Screwed

“Prostitution is like rape...”

Nevertheless, even if the number IS merely a guesstimate and not an accurate count, the estimate is still far greater than the guesstimate of alleged sex trafficking victims. As noted on previous pages, guesstimates of sex trafficking victims range from 100,000 to 300,000 per year (see the Polaris Project and CNN estimates) The ‘estimated’ number of rapes among college women is over twice as many ‘guesstimated’ sex trafficking victims. And if the reported number of college women rape victims comes close to the estimates, the number of raped college women is far more significant than the ‘reported’ cases of sex trafficking victims. It would seem that being a college student is at least AS dangerous for women as prostitution abolitionists claim that being a prostitute is for sex workers. https://www.ncjrs.gov/ovc_archives/ncvrw/2012/pdf/StatisticalOverviews.pdf

Prostitutes are by no means the only victims of rapes committed by cops and other government agents. Rapes in the military are escalating - or else more rape victims are willing to come forward and report being raped. Like their sex worker counterparts, the military personnel who rape them seldom are punished.

What to do when an Army Sergeant trained to protect victims of sexual assault in the military is himself charged with sexual assault? Like the Swedish Prosecutor in charge of prosecuting cases of men who hire prostitutes who gets arrested for hiring a prostitute...

RAPE IN THE MILITARY

Rape and women in the military

“Prostitution is like rape...”

May 15, 2013 (CNN) For the second time this month, a U.S. service member who worked in a military sexual assault prevention program has been accused of a sexual crime. In the latest incident, an Army sergeant first class assigned to such a program at Fort Hood, Texas, is being investigated for alleged sexual assault, pandering, abusive sexual contact and maltreatment of subordinates. Charges had not been filed as of Wednesday morning. A Defense Department official says "initial indications" show that are at least one person may have been forced into prostitution activity, but the matter remains under investigation no conclusions have been drawn yet... In February, Lt. Col. Jeffrey Krusinski was placed in charge of a branch of the Air Force's Sexual Assault Prevention and Response program, and he oversaw a five-person office, an Air Force official told CNN after the incident. The official declined to be named, citing the ongoing law enforcement case. [Lt. Col. Jeffrey Krusinski, 41, was arrested on May 5, 2013, in Arlington, Virginia, just outside Washington, accused of grabbing a woman's breasts and buttocks, Arlington County police said.] Shortly after Krusinski's arrest, military officials appeared before a congressional panel for an already scheduled hearing on sexual assault in the military. Welsh described Krusinski when he was asked what made him qualified to work in the sex assault prevention program. Krusinski, 41, is a 1994 graduate of the Air Force Academy who served tours in both Iraq and Afghanistan. During the hearing, lawmakers brought up yet another case that has made headlines involving sexual assault. Lt. Col. James Wilkerson III was found guilty last year by a jury of Air Force officers of sexually assaulting a woman at his home outside Aviano Air Base in Italy. www.iswface.org

To protect women from being raped or sexually assaulted in the military, should we prohibit females from becoming soldiers? It clearly is a dangerous situation and women who go into the military regardless of the danger ought to recognize that they are placing themselves at risk... can they claim to be victims of rape if they knowingly enter a risky profession where rapes and sexual assaults occur on a regular basis? Or perhaps we should arrest women who go into the military and have a consensual sexual relationship with one of their fellow soldiers, and then force them to testify against the soldier with whom they had an intimate relationship because they may have been coerced into that relationship, given the number of rapes and sexual assaults that occur within the co-ed environment of the military... right?

“Sex between guards and female inmates is a given in prison; whether consensual or coerced, it has always taken place.” In most states it is illegal even if consensual. It also occurs in men’s prisons and in juvenile facilities. Those who are incarcerated are vulnerable to sexual abuse from other inmates but in far too many cases, the sexual abuse comes at the hands of those entrusted to guard them. When rape or sexual assaults by corrections officers and jailers do occur, reporting it is not always an option. Even if an inmate does report it, it is often ignored by the system, and the inmate is punished for daring to make trouble for the prison guard.

“Prostitution is like rape...” Oklahoma Sheriff Charged With Running Sex-Slave Operation From Jail Published April 17, 2008 Associated Press

The sheriff of Custer County resigned on Wednesday just as federal prosecutors filed 35 felony counts against him for allegedly running a sex-slave operation at the jail. Mike Burgess quit the position he'd held since 1994 shortly before appearing in court on 14 counts of second-degree rape, seven counts of forcible oral sodomy and five counts of bribery by a public official. Burgess surrendered to Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation agents and was released from custody after posting $50,000 bail. He could not be reached for comment. Among other things, Burgess is accused of having sex with a female drug court participant who was in his custody. The crimes allegedly occurred between October 2005 and April 2007. A federal lawsuit filed in October claims Burgess told one drug court participant he would have her sent to prison if she

The lawsuit, filed by 12 former jail prisoners, alleges the sheriff's employees had them engage in wet T-shirt contests and offered cigarettes to those who would flash their breasts. One prisoner alleged she became a jail trusty with more freedom after agreeing to perform a sex act on Burgess, but lost that status when she later refused. Burgess also faces two counts each of sexual battery, rape by instrumentation and subornation of perjury. Also filed were one count each of engaging in a pattern of criminal offenses, indecent exposure and kidnapping.

Former Custer County Sheriff Mike Burgess was sentenced to 79 years in prison... Burgess, 56, was found guilty of 13 felonies from a total of 36 charges in January by a Major County jury. The assorted charges ranged from forcible oral sodomy and kidnapping to sexual battery and rape. Burgess has remained in jail since his Jan. 17 conviction. The jury recommended a sentence of 94 years in prison and $15,000 in fines.

And in 2004 another Oklahoma County Sheriff and former police chief rapist- received a mere 25 year sentence... Latimer County Sheriff charged with having sex with inmates, The Tulsa World, October 21, 2004.

Holly, 63, had sex with at least three female inmates, according to an affidavit by FBI Special Agent James Dawson. U.S. Attorney Sheldon Sperling said Holly is charged with false statement and witness intimidation, felony offenses punishable by five years and 10 years in prison respectively. At an initial appearance in federal court, Holly was ordered held without bail pending a detention and preliminary examination by Magistrate Kimberly E. West at 2 p.m. Friday. Sperling asked for detention on grounds that one of the crimes involves violence and Holly poses a danger to another person.

Inmate Rape

Ralph W. Marler, MUSKOGEE- Latimer County Sheriff Melvin Ellis Holly had frequent sex with female jail inmates and then threatened them if they talked, according to a federal charge unsealed Wednesday in U.S. District Court.

The investigation, which began in April, continues, Sperling said. He noted, in a press release, that Oklahoma law provides that jail inmates are incapable of consenting to sexual relations with law enforcement officers. Holly was defeated for a third four year term in the July Democratic primary by former Latimer County Assessor Wayne Brinkley, 45. Holly was to leave office in January. His alleged sexual assaults were traced to September 2003, according to a former inmate who said she had sexual intercourse with Holly after being taken to a railroad facility in Wilburton, the FBI affidavit said. www.iswface.org

Latimer County Sheriff charged with having sex with inmates, The Tulsa World, October 21, 2004. continued from previous page “The 25 year-old woman relented because she was “afraid something bad would happen if did not give in,” the affidavit said. The woman said she had sexual intercourse at two other times, once at Lake Carlton near Robbers Cave State Park, the affidavit said. At one other time, Holly took the inmate to a sheriffs meeting at a Krebs restaurant and “listened to the business of the sheriffs of southeast Oklahoma,” the affidavit said. The 25-year old said she is undergoing counseling to deal with problems since her release. One of the problems is intimacy with her husband and in dealing with her children, the affidavit said. The woman also said she was taken from the jail to Latimer County General Hospital where she was given a sedative after she had been crying for 24 hours. Another inmate, a 19-year-old, told the FBI agent that Holly took her from her cell to A-OK Railroad facility, where she declined his advances. Holly then took her to his Red Oak home which had been destroyed by fire, authorities said. At the site, Holly and the inmate had sex in the back seat of his sheriff’s vehicle, officials said. Four or five days later, Holly brought the woman to his Sheriff’s Office where they had sex on the floor, the affidavit said. Afterward, the sheriff took “moonshine” from a cabinet and served it to her and her cellmate when he returned her to the cell, the affidavit said. When Holly learned the woman was being taken to another jail, he learned she wanted speak to law enforcement officers. He pressured her to write a statement that she recanted her story, the affidavit said. Holly told the inmate she would “end up dead somewhere, floating face down in a river for having talked,” the affidavit said. The inmate said she was afraid of Holly because he had claimed “he has shot and killed numerous people.” The inmate said she spent time at a psychiatric clinic and is on the antidepressant Prozac to cope with the depression “from being raped” by Holly, the affidavit said. A third inmate, a 26-year-old, said she on five or six occasions in Holly’s office. She said she last had sex with Holly in May, although Holly continued to “bug” her about it.

A 34-year-old female inmate said Holly made several sexual advances toward her, including comments and groping, but denied having sexual intercourse Sept. 16, the FBI interviewed Holly at his office, but Holly denied ever having any kind of sexual contact with any female inmates in his jail.

Inmate Rape

“Prostitution is like rape...”

The two cases presented on the previous pages are of high ranking law enforcement officers-

men who were former police chiefs and county sheriffs (not deputies). The inmates they raped and used as ‘sex slaves’ were not prostitutes, at least it not so indicated in the articles. If THESE ‘pillars of the community’ with SO MUCH to lose, were willing to risk their careers and the years of respect and admiration from their communities and fellow law enforcement agents around the country- just to be able to extort the female inmates for sex, threatening to kill them or harm their families if they told anyone... how could we expect non- high ranking law enforcement agents and corrections officers/ prison guards to behave differently toward the vulnerable sex worker women and teens in their custody? Especially when it is the inmates who are punished for reporting the abuse and rapes, rather than those who abuse and rape, and neither the courts, the prosecutors, the governors, members of congress, senators and prison officials show much concern for the inmate victims or seem at all inclined to stop this abuse... Is it not to be expected that corrections officers, jail guards and prison wardens feel entitled to abuse those whom society has cast away and deemed “bad women” or “bad girls”?

Inmate rape is so widespread, so entrenched in the prison system, that those corrections officers/ jail guards who rape and sexually assault inmates do not feel the need to hide their activities from other prison/ jail personnel. Despite new measures introduced to combat rape in prisons, such as The Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) which was passed in 2003 and has finally been officially implemented, the issue of rape and sexual assault in prisons is largely ignored according to organizations such as Women in Prison Project , the Coalition for Women Prisoners, and Just Detention International who monitor the prison rape situation. If prostitution is like rape, and rape by those who are in charge of the lives of prostitutes and inmates goes unpunished, what are we to think of the argument that prostitution should remain illegal because it is ‘like rape’? Are those who promote this argument actually saying- “in our opinion, prostitution is like rape and if you don’t believe us, we will make certain you get raped by the system so you will understand what we mean...”?

Two Women Claim Texas Jailers Ran a 'Rape Camp' Behind Bars Monday, June 17, 2013

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas (CN) - Texas jailers ran a "rape camp" where they "repeatedly raped and humiliated female inmates," and forced them to masturbate and sodomize male guards, and one another, two women claim in court. J.A.S. and J.M.N. sued Live Oak County and its former jailers Vincent Aguilar, Israel Charles Jr. and Jaime E. Smith, in Federal Court. All three guards were arrested in August 2010 and charged with sexual assault, the Beeville Bee-Picayune reported at the time. The newspaper did not identify the victims. Smith and Aguilar are in Texas state prisons today, according to the complaint, which says defendant Charles is living in Bee County. Live Oak is a sparsely settled county in south central Texas. Its seat is George West. "Beginning sometime in 2007 to at least August of 2010 the Live Oak County Sheriff's office ran a 'rape camp' known as the Live Oak County Jail," the complaint states. "In this facility, numerous jailers, all employed by the Live Oak County Sheriff's Office, repeatedly raped and humiliated female inmates over an extended period of time. These forced acts of lasciviousness included, but are not limited to, forcing female inmates to repeatedly perform oral sex on male guards, forcing female inmates to repeatedly masturbate the male guards, the male guards masturbating in view of the female inmates, male guards forcing digital penetrative sex acts in the female inmates', forcing female inmates to engage in sexual sex acts with other female inmates, including but not limited to forcing female inmates to have oral sex with each other, among other things. "In addition to the repeated sexual assaults, numerous female inmates were sexually harassed. Certain male guards would strip the female inmates of their clothing and provide only shaving cream to conceal their genitalia. Certain male guards would sometimes force the female inmates to shower in front of them while instructing them to shave their vaginas. In other instances, while detailing their degenerate sexual fantasies, the jailers would pin the girls against a wall, grope their persons, verbally berate them, digitally rape their vagina and/or anus, then force them to perform oral sex. "In order to facilitate their carnal impulses, these guards would withhold food and water, engage in physical abuse, restrict privileges and verbally and emotionally abuse the women - even threaten to kill them in order to compel their compliance." J.A.S. says she was arrested on marijuana possession charges in July 2010, and transferred to the Live Oak County Jail after a brief stay at the Jim Wells County Jail. "Not long after she was transferred, she was approached by a jailer known to her only as 'Jesse,'" the complaint states. "He warned plaintiff to stay away from defendants Aguilar and Smith. Naively, she asked why and he emphasized, 'trust me, stay away from them. I can't tell you why, I'd lose my job.' "Sometime later, while waiting at the facility nurses' station, defendant Aguilar approached plaintiff and touched her on her shoulder and back. The nurse on duty observed this happening and told defendant Aguilar to stop. In fact, the abuse was so widespread and pervasive that defendant Aguilar felt comfortable enough to ask Ms. Smith if he could touch her vagina, right in front of the jail nurse. www.iswface.org

"Another incident occurred later involving both defendant Smith and defendant Aguilar. Both men forcibly and inappropriately touched plaintiff. During the incident, defendant Aguilar kissed plaintiff and attempted to penetrate her. Only when plaintiff defended herself by slapping defendant Aguilar's face did he relent." J.A.S. claims the guards knew where to take inmates to avoid having their sexual assaults recorded by the jail's "grossly ineffective" camera system. During her pre-trial incarceration, the three guards had their way with her, she says. "Defendants Aguilar, Smith and Charles all assaulted plaintiff in numerous ways over the course of several incidents. As they told it to plaintiff, she 'belong[ed] to [them]' and was their 'sex slave or whatever they wanted her to be,'" the complaint states. "Plaintiff was forced to perform various sexual acts on defendants Charles, Aguilar and Smith, including oral sex and manual stimulation - whatever time permitted for their amusement. These incidents also included their own lewd acts on themselves, including masturbation where plaintiff was forced to conceal their ejaculate by way of ingestion. "These and similar acts occurred so frequently that plaintiff cannot account for the number of assaults she was forced to endure - during any given attack, there would be from one (1) to three (3) different guards present who were participating or watching plaintiff being denigrated. "Finally, several incidents took place wherein plaintiff was forced to perform sexual acts on another female inmate, plaintiff [J.M.N.]. Specifically, one night defendants Aguilar and Smith provided razors and shaving cream to plaintiffs. They made the women strip naked and told them to shave their pubic hair. Next they made the women put 'shaving cream bikinis" on each other as they looked on. "Once that was accomplished, the women were directed to rinse off and that the guards would return. When defendants Aguilar and Smith returned [J.A.S.] and [J.M.N.] were told to give them 'a show.' "The defendants made the women perform oral sex on each other, touch and grope each other, penetrate each other's vaginas with their fingers, all while the guards soaked it in, grinning and flicking their tongues out at the humiliated women. As if forcing these two women to perform pornographic sex acts on each other was not enough, defendants Aguilar and Smith then forced the women to stop and come to the door to touch their penises and allow the guards to grope and penetrate their persons. "After defendants Aguilar and Smith concluded their session with [J.A.S.] and [J.M.N.], defendant Smith came back later that night and forced [J.A.S.] to perform oral sex on him. "To make matters even more tragic, the charge of possession of a controlled substance, for which [J.A.S.] was being detained, was dismissed and the case was dropped upon her release from custody." J.M.N. says she was booked into Live Oak County Jail in July 2010. "Upon introduction with [J.M.N.], defendant Aguilar remarked that she 'look(ed) wild' and that he could not wait to (have sex with) her. He pinned her against a wall face first then rubbed up behind her, grabbing her breasts and breathing into her ear while rubbing his face along the nape of her neck. From that point forward, things only got worse ... "Throughout her stay, [J.M.N.] was repeatedly sexually assaulted by defendants. For the first several weeks these assaults were in the form of the guards placing their hands through the food slot in the cell door and forcing her to lower her pants and undergarments and then anally and vaginally penetrating her with their hands. They would also make [J.M.N.] show the guards her breasts, buttocks and/or vagina or the guards would withhold food, drink, essential hygiene items, threaten to harm her or take away privileges." (Parentheses and ellipsis in complaint.) J.M.N. says the assaults escalated until the night the guards forced her to perform sex acts on J.A.S. http://www.courthousenews.com/2013/06/17/58555.htm www.iswface.org

“Prostitution is like rape...”

Woman Prisoner Sent to Solitary for Reporting Rape by Guard —By James Ridgeway and Jean Casella

| Sat May. 8, 2010

What happens to the inmates when they report the rapes?

Michelle Ortiz was serving one year at the Ohio Reformatory for Women, a state prison in Marysville, when she was molested by a male guard. A recent article in the Columbus Dispatch describes what happened next: When Ortiz reported the first assault to prison official Paula Jordan, the official told the inmate that the male guard was being transferred from the facility and was "just a dirty old man." That same evening, the male guard assaulted her again. Rebecca Bright, another prison official who launched an investigation, ordered Ortiz placed in solitary confinement, where she was handcuffed. Bright reportedly argued that Ortiz was talking about the incident with other inmates. Other accounts were more specific: In the first assault, Ortiz was "fondled" by the guard, who then told her "I'll get you tomorrow, watch." In the second, which took place after she had appealed for help, the guard returned while Ortiz was asleep and raped her. The assaults took place back in 1996. Subsequently, Ortiz sued both prison officials in federal court for doing nothing to protect her from the guard and punishing her instead. A jury awarded her $625,000 in damages.

It is extremely rare for a prison inmate's civil rights complaint to overcome preliminary legal obstacles and persuade a jury there was a violation, said Judge Martha Craig Daughtrey, the dissenting appeals court judge. Given the statistics, Daughtrey said, "I view this result as a legal travesty." The evidence against Bright and Jordan was strong, she said. "The majority's decision to overturn the jury's verdict strikes me not just as an unfortunate result in this case, but as one that is thoroughly senseless." Against the objections of Ohio Attorney General Richard Cordray, the US Supreme Court–also not known for its sympathy to "prison inmate's civil rights complaints"–has now agreed to review the case, and will hear arguments in the fall. (2010)

Inmate Rape

But Bright and Jordan appealed the verdict, and the US 6th Circuit Court of Appeals "ruled 2-1 that the prison officials had qualified immunity, shielding them from paying damages" to Ortiz. The third judge, however, issued an outraged dissent. As the AP reported:

The wheels of justice move slowly, when they move at all. Back in 2003, the organization Stop Prisoner Rape–now renamed Just Detention International–published a report on the sexual abuse of prisoners by guards at the Ohio Reformatory for Women (ORW) Alerted to the problem by a prison psychiatrist, Stop Prisoner Rape (SPR) interviewed several staff whistleblowers, as well as prisoners, and discovered a "climate of abuse."

“Prostitution is like rape...” Woman inmate sent to solitary for reporting rape by guard....continued from previous page

“Inmates described a range of incidents, including violent encounters, threats and pressure to submit to sexual advances, trading sex for goods and favors, and relationships that were seemingly consensual. However, for women under near-total control of prison staff, the concept of "consenting" to sex is virtually meaningless... The problems arising from this power imbalance are compounded by the past history of sexual abuse that many female inmates have endured. “...women who report sexual misconduct are routinely sent to solitary confinement, unusually harsh conditions in the hole at ORW may compound the trauma. This use of isolation emboldens perpetrators who know that the practice discourages women from reporting abuse. SPR concluded that the problem was compounded by the Ohio prison system's "institutional response"–or lack of it. They found a "culture of silence and denial" at the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction that began its director, Reginald Wilkinson. Head of the sixthlargest prison system in the country, Wilkinson "repeatedly made public statements denying that any problem exists and discouraging suggestions for reform," including the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA), which was passed unanimously by Congress in 2003. In an op-ed opposing the legislation, Wilkinson argued that the data on prison sexual assaults was "highly exaggerated" and based on "disingenuous data (self reporting)." While investigating allegations at the Ohio Reformatory for Women, SPR interviewed Warden Deborah Timmerman. According to SPR's report: Timmerman-Cooper confirmed that prisoners who complained of sexual abuse were transferred to segregation, losing their privileges while there. She justified this policy by saying that it was necessary in order to protect the inmate while officials investigated the incident, but could not explain why those inmates should be stripped of basic privileges and locked in isolation for 23 hours a day….

The National Prison Rape Elimination Commission, which was created by the PREA in 2003, has issued recommendations for a new set of national standards to address the problem. As David Kaiser and Lovisa Stannow wrote earlier this year in their two excellent articles in the New York Review of Books on prison rape and how it can be stopped: One of the most pernicious myths about prisoner rape is that it is an inevitable part of life behind bars. This is simply wrong…In well-run facilities across the country it is being prevented—and this shouldn't be surprising, the government has extraordinary control over the lives of those it locks up. Stopping sexual abuse in detention is a matter of using sound policies and practices, and passing laws that require them.

Inmate Rape

The isolation and punishment of inmates who report sexual assault is a practice that punishes victims and encourages staff misconduct...

Attorney General Eric Holder has until June to review the recommended standards proposed by the National Prison Rape Elimination Commission and turn them into federal regulations, which would make them binding on prisons and other detention facilities. Predictably, they are being opposed by some leaders of the powerful corrections industry, and questioned on the basis of cost.”

“Prostitution is like rape...”

This sexual abuse has been ongoing for decades... this from 1992: Abuse Of Women Inmates Called A Nightmare -- Georgia Prisoners Allege Rape, Forced Abortions December 30, 1992

By Eric Harrison Los Angeles Times

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. - Outside, the prison resembles nothing so much as a low-lying suburban office park or a modern middle school. It sits in a wooded area far off the main road south of Milledgeville, a central Georgia town of antebellum mansions and a distinctly Southern air. Five prisons are clustered here, not counting a youth detention facility, making the care and feeding of convicts the economic lifeblood of the area. In such a setting, the Georgia Women's Correctional Institution is an utterly unremarkable presence. Its appearance is at odds, however, with the image conjured by stories of late - stories of rape, of pregnancies and forced abortions, of women prisoners left stripped and bound for weeks. The women - Jane Does, they are called - have been coming forward for months, almost 200 in all. They tell of women treated like dogs, bound and fed from dishes shoved under their faces; of guards photographing women engaged in sex acts; of inmates being

taken off the grounds to work as prostitutes.

"They allowed this whole culture of abuse," says Robert Cullen, a legal-services attorney representing the inmates in a class-action lawsuit. "Abuse was OK. It didn't matter. . . Everybody became sort of inoculated to the abuse that was ongoing." Sex between guards and female inmates is a given in prison; whether consensual or coerced, it has always taken place. A number of states, including California, Ohio, Minnesota, Michigan and New York, have had similar controversies. But Brenda Smith, director of the Women in Prison Project of the National Women's Law Center, says she knows of no investigation as widespread as the one in Georgia... At least one woman alleges she was stripped and restrained because she refused a guard's sexual advances. If prison logs are to be believed, says Cullen, the practice was widespread and women were bound for as many as 20 days, sometimes not even being freed to eat or go to the bathroom.

Inmate Rape

The allegations, in their totality, suggest a prison out of control, a place where even the men in charge tolerated, if not condoned, rampant abuse for at least 13 years.

“Prostitution is like rape...”

Prison Abuse: Michigan Prison Scandal ‘In January 2008, in a Michigan courtroom, a jury, in a gesture considered extremely rare in American Courtroom procedure… had the courage and the compassion to offer an apology on Behalf of the State of Michigan to 10 Michigan women prisoners, for the years and years of rape, torture, tyranny, and retaliation these women were forced to endure in Michigan prisons. Each member of the jury stood before the women in open court and publicly apologized to them for the abuse they endured while incarcerated. The guilty prison administrators had already left the courtroom and were not present when the jury did what these defendants refused to do: “apologize for the harm inflicted”. This 2008 landmark case eventually resulted in a July 2009 settlement against the Department of Corrections for the State of Michigan (DOC) wherein they agreed to pay $100 million dollars as compensation to end 13 years of litigation with about 500 current and former female inmates in Michigan’s prison system who alleged that the male officers raped, sexually assaulted and harassed them and had engaged in a widespread practice of cross gender pat downs, touching, privacy violations and systemic and aggressive retaliation imposed on those women. For years, rights groups warned that male guards were sexually assaulting female inmates in Michigan prisons… and for years, those warnings went unheeded.

lawmakers and prison officials regularly interfered and blocked investigations of sexual abuse in women's prisons, stifled inmate complaints and stripped away the rights of assaulted prisoners to sue for damages.

"By stripping imprisoned women of this basic civil right…. the state emboldened sexual predators who were attracted to prison work."

“Prostitution is like rape...”

WHY IS IT MORE IMPORTANT TO THE POLITICIANS AND LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES IN FINANCIALLY STRAPPED STATES TO PURSUE THOSE ENGAGED IN CONSENTING ADULT COMMERCIAL SEX THAN IT IS TO PURSUE ACTUAL RAPISTS WHOSE VICTIMS HAVE REPORTED CRIMES AGAINST THEM? If they lack the resources to test the DNA evidence, or to investigate the rapes of persons who are willing to undergo the traumatic rape kit procedure, no resources to arrest, prosecute and incarcerate the rapists whose victims have reported a crime and whose DNA proves the crime,

how can they possibly justify arresting, prosecuting and punishing the non violent, non abusive clients, employers and associates of consenting adult sex workers who have NOT reported ANY crime against them BY those non violent, non abusive individuals?

If ‘prostitution is like rape,’ why don’t prostitution abolitionists care that when sex workers report being raped by law enforcement officers and corrections officers, those rapists are seldom punished, or receive a sentence that is significantly less than prison sentences imposed on NON- law enforcement officers who are convicted of raping non inmates? Why the disparity in sentencing convicted rapist government agents and other convicted rapists?

Sponsor of New Texas Anti-Abortion Bill Thinks Rape Kits Are Contraceptives

Rep. Jodie Laubenberg

According to Atlantic Wire.com, Texas Rep. Jodie Laubenberg erroneously believes that rape kits eliminate the possibility of conception through rape and incest. Laubenberg said: “In the emergency room they have what’s called rape kits where a woman can get cleaned out ... The woman had five months to make that decision, at this point we are looking at a baby that is very far along in its development.”

May 28, 2013: Keeping Them Honest: Rape kits go untested for decades At least 400,000 rape kits containing critical DNA that could help convict a criminal are sitting untested in labs around the country. Victims who submitted evidence assumed the police were searching for their attackers using the kits, but hundreds of thousands were never processed.

Why do so many rape kits never get tested? Perhaps because there are republican politicians who think a rape kit is a contraceptive and induces abortions?

December 17, 2012 “Right now, there are over 400,000 rape kits sitting in storage not being tested. Sometimes it’s because of a lack of money; other times it’s more complicated. Some places will only test a rape kit if they have a suspect in mind, for example, but if they didn’t wait, they might find that their results match other cases in the FBI’s database, and they could prevent future crimes.” http://www.washingtonian.com/blogs/capitalcomment/parties/rainn-celebrates-progress-in-assaultinvestigation-honors-advocates-on-the-hill.php

“Detroit Prosecutor Kim Worthy: Testing of 11,303 rape kits rescued from Detroit Crime Lab a long way off”

“DETROIT — After the Detroit Crime Lab closed in 2008, state police found 11,303 dusty rape kits upon the shelves... Some of them had been there for decades, their contents — and the horror stories of the women who provided them — forgotten for years. Though raised from the oblivion of the crime lab, the kits remain far from being processed. "I can't even speculate," Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy said when asked how long it may take. "A long time... It's too depressing to think about how long it's going to take." Serial killer: "Shelly A.

"We have usually a woman who was raped, they went to a police department to report their rape and they willingly went to a rape kit exam — so three- to four-hour extensive exam, literally every orifice of your body is looked at and scoped and examined — and hoping... we can get some DNA and hopefully that produces a trial," Worthy said.

She said, although the State Police Crime Lab handles all other forensic testing on behalf of the Detroit Police Department, they cannot handle the rape kit backlog. "They can't do them all because they're already overwhelmed," Worthy said. The kits are being sent to private labs at a cost of $1,200 to $1,500 per kit, which equates to a total cost of more than $13.5 million to test all 11,303. Worthy said the county is seeking grants and other funding options to complete the testing. Prosecutors have convicted one man based on the results of the kits tested so far, and another is set to go to trial soon, Worthy said.” www.iswface.org

In 2011, Michigan citizens reported 4,347 violent rapes (not including sexual assaults). Police officers arrested a mere 589 alleged rapists- or 14%. They also arrested 320 persons for prostitution, and an additional 8,563 persons for ‘disorderly conduct.’ Perhaps not all or even most of the disorderly conduct arrests were related to prostitution, but surely some of them were. Let’s say that 1,000 of them were arrests of sex workers when cops could not make a solicitation arrest. That’s at least 1,320 persons arrested for non violent, consenting adult commercial sex (until the 2011 arrests by gender and age are available, we will count all those arrests as adults). In 1987, the Hastings Law Journal published the research of Julie Pearl entitled “The Highest Paying Customers: America's Cities and the Costs of Prostitution Control” in which the author’s research revealed that the cost of arresting a single prostitute was about $2,000. In 2011’s currency, adjusted for inflation, that would be $3,967.04 per arrest. So, the cost for arresting the 1,320 alleged prostitutes and their clients would be around $5,236,440. If the cost of sending the rape kits to a private lab ranges from $1,200 to $1,500 per kit, the money spent arresting those prostitutes and clients could have paid Click on image to go to Dollar Times for 3,490 rape kits @ $1,500 per kit or 4,363 rape kits @ $1,200 per kit.

RAPE KITS UNTESTED

Cost of prostitution arrests vs. lab testing of rape kits:

There was a backlog of 11,303 untested kits in Detroit alone, so while the money spent arresting people for commercial sex wouldn’t have covered the testing of ALL the rape kits, it would have helped. Nationwide (in 2011), there were 243,800 reported violent rapes and sexual assaults and 14,943 arrests for rape and sexual assault, although the FBI Bureau of Criminal Statistics also states in some reports that there were 16,206 alleged rapists arrested. That same year, there were 48,658 prostitution arrests and 453,470 arrests for disorderly conduct. Let’s say that 10% of the disorderly conduct arrests were instead of prostitution arrests- or 45,000- plus the prostitution arrests = 93,658 arrests for NON violent commercial sex... which cost an estimated $371,541,286. If the cost of testing rape kits in private labs is consistent nationwide, then theoretically, 247,694 rape kits could have been tested. Some reports claim that there are between 400,000 to 500,000 untested rape kits sitting in police evidence lockers nationwide. www.iswface.org

Prostitutes have more to fear from rapist cops than their non violent, non abusive clients, employers or associates... “No rape charges filed against cop” California Briefing / INGLEWOOD October 21, 2008|Victoria Kim

http://articles.latimes.com/2008/oct/21/local/me-briefs21.S4

“The Los Angeles County district attorney's office declined to file charges against a city police officer who was accused of the on-duty rape of a visiting Florida woman in 2006, officials said Monday. After a review that lasted more than a year and a half, the district attorney's office concluded that "at least one sexual act occurred" between Officer Donvey Lindsey and the woman, who officers accused of being a prostitute, according to a report by the office dated Sept. 30. The woman had the "appearance and conduct . . . consistent with prostitution," making it difficult

for prosecutors to prove that the sex was not consensual, the report found...

The woman told investigators that Lindsey followed her to her motel room and had a hand on his gun as he ordered her to perform sexual acts on him and raped her. She was taken to a hospital, where she provided a trash bag in which Lindsey's semen was found, according to the report...”

If prostitution really is “like rape,” and therefore considered by our government to be NON consensual when a prostitute has sex with her clients, why is it considered “consensual” if a woman “has the appearance and conduct consistent with prostitution” and a cop forces her to have sex with him AGAINST HER WILL?

She also had an arrest record for prostitution in her home state, where she had accused officers of misconduct, according to the report.

Judge Says Law Doesn't Protect Prostitutes, Drops Rape Count April 24, 1986|MARK ARAX | Times Staff Writer

Several jurors have criticized a Pasadena judge's decision to dismiss charges against a man accused of raping and sodomizing a prostitute, saying they believed the prostitute's testimony and were offended by the judge's characterization of the case as a "breach of contract between a whore and trick." Pasadena Superior Court Judge Gilbert C. Alston granted his own motion last week for a finding of not guilty in the case against Daniel Zabuski, 25, of Alhambra, a former South Gate police jailer. In granting the motion, court transcripts show, Alston made a general statement

that a working prostitute could not be the victim of a rape, even if she was forced to engage in sexual intercourse. “I was just thunderstruck at his whole statement . . . the whole idea of what he was saying," juror Sunnie Linscott said. "I interpreted it as being, 'We don't give rights to prostitutes.' "

Alston's decision came after the prosecution had completed its case and over the strong objections of Deputy Dist. Atty. JoAnne Barton, who said Alston

displayed bias against the alleged victim throughout the proceedings, constantly referring in private deliberations to the 30-year-old woman as a "whore" and allowed Zabuski's attorney to ask questions regarding the prostitute's personal life.

In an interview, Alston repeated his belief that the law did not afford prostitutes protection against rape or sodomy if they had agreed to and were paid for a "lesser" sex act. He said the man could force the prostitute to engage in sexual intercourse and sodomy without being criminally liable, as long as he didn't physically abuse her.

COPS RAPE PROSTITUTES

"It didn't matter to us that she was a prostitute," said another juror, Mary Ann Clayton. "The consensus among us was that a prostitute could be raped and that this prostitute was a credible witness. We were all frustrated that the judge didn't allow us to decide the case."

"A woman who goes out on the street and makes a whore out of herself opens herself up to anybody," Alston said. "She steps outside the protection of the law. That's a basic and fundamental legal concept. . . . "If you think the courts ought to get into reforming the contracts of whores, then you ought to advocate them getting into the reforming of contracts of dope dealers and gamblers," he said. "Who in the hell is going to believe a whore on the witness stand, anyway?"

Cops Rape Prostitutes

Judge Says Law Doesn't Protect Prostitutes, Drops Rape Count continued.... April 24, 1986 Law Expert:

John Kaplan, a criminal law expert and professor at Stanford University Law School, agreed with the prosecutor, saying: "The Legislature has decided very clearly that rape is sexual intercourse without the consent of a woman to sexual intercourse. The judge's decision strikes me as insupportable. It's wrong." Sandy Buttitta, head of the sexual crimes unit of the district attorney's office, said she routinely prosecutes cases of rape in which the victims are prostitutes. "They are difficult cases," she said, "because people in the community hold certain prejudices. But a prostitute can be raped. Just because you agree to one form of sex doesn't necessarily mean you agree to everything." According to court transcripts, Zabuski picked up the alleged victim, Rhonda DaCosta, on the evening of July 10, 1985. Once in the car, DaCosta testified, she agreed to perform oral copulation for $30. When Zabuski was not satisfied, she testified, he became "extremely violent" and forced her to engage in sexual intercourse and sodomy. After Zabuski was finished, DaCosta testified, he stole $150. Zabuski, who spent two years in state prison after being convicted in 1980 of bribery for sexual favors during his job as a South Gate cadet jailer, was charged with one count each of rape, sodomy and grand theft. Zabuski denied that he forced himself on DaCosta. He testified that DaCosta agreed to sexual intercourse after he was unsatisfied. Zabuski, who works as a purchasing agent for a manufacturing firm, also denied taking money. After Alston granted his own motion, the jury ruled that Zabuski was not guilty of the theft, saying the evidence was weak. Alston, a former police officer and prosecutor who has been on the bench since 1980, then told jurors:

"I have never seen a case like this before. And I would like to apologize for having you spend your time doing what essentially was trying to reform or decide a breach of contract between a whore and trick."

Cops Have Sex With Prostitutes to “Rescue” Them

Experts question police methods in Carmel and Zionsville prostitution sting Written by Ryan Sabalow indystar.com May 3, 2013 About 1 p.m. on Dec. 19, a man walked into the Dove Spa, a massage parlor in a nondescript Carmel commercial strip, and asked for the services of one of the women working there. What the woman didn’t know was the man was an undercover police officer, wearing a wire. And what the woman did next, detectives now allege, was illegal: In exchange for $100 plus a $35 tip, she fondled the officer’s genitals. Four more times the officer went back, according to a probable-cause affidavit released this week. During that time, over five months, the officer also visited a massage parlor in Zionsville. And each time, he allowed the women — all Chinese immigrants — to fondle him in exchange for cash, all in a fight against prostitution and human trafficking. Officers say such methods led to a victory for Carmel and Zionsville on Wednesday, when 30 officers raided two businesses, arresting six people — four alleged prostitutes and two alleged pimps.

Since when do we post photos of victims on the internet? Would we do this to victims of rape or domestic violence?

But the methods police say were needed to shut down a sophisticated prostitution ring were criticized Thursday by legal and lawenforcement experts and women’s advocates as excessive, unnecessary and misapplied to an investigation that involved possible human trafficking. They say that prostitutes can be arrested and charged in Indiana as soon as an agreement to pay for a sex act is made. Intimate contact was not required. Plus, some said, if the women indeed had been victims of sexual exploitation, working in the sex trade against their will, the sex acts they performed on the officer only contributed to their humiliation, exploitation and degradation. “How do you simultaneously say you’re protecting them by arresting them, but then you’re victimizing them by your undercover stuff?” said Eugene O’Donnell, a former New York police officer and prosecutor who’s now a professor at John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York. “If they’re in fact exploited and ... their free will is overwhelmed by the people they’re working for, then are you helping them or are they being doubly victimized? Is this official victimization by the state?” 100

COPS HAVE SEX WITH PROSTITUTES TO “RESCUE” THEM

In many cities, law enforcement agents are permitted to have sex with ‘suspected prostitutes’ in order to make an arrest... when they were not allowed to do so, they can hire ‘civic minded’ men from the community to have sex with the suspected prostitute- on multiple occasions- and then testify against her. If the‘client’ (cops or ‘civic minded’ men) are paid- out of taxpayer money- to have sex... doesn’t that make both the cops and the ‘civic minded’ men prostitutes????

Spotsylvania Deputies Receive Sex Services in Prostitution Cases

By Tom Jackman Washington Post Staff Writer Monday, February 13, 2006

In Spotsylvania County, as part of a campaign by the sheriff's office to root out prostitution in the massage parlor business, detectives have been receiving sexual services from "masseuses." During several visits to Moon Spa on Plank Road last month, detectives allowed women to perform sexual acts on them on four occasions and once left a $350 tip, according to court papers. Spotsylvania Sheriff Howard D. Smith said that the practice is not new and that only unmarried detectives are assigned to such cases. Most prostitutes are careful not to say anything incriminating, so sexual contact is necessary, he said. "If I thought we could get the conviction without that, we wouldn't allow it," Smith said. "If you want to make them, this has to be done."

But numerous police and legal experts said they were not aware of any law enforcement agency in the Washington region, or the country, that allows sexual contact in prostitution investigations. Police should not break the law to enforce it, they said.

Must sex be a part of sex stings? It's legal in this state, but some experts say it's unethical -- and unnecessary. September 23, 2007 | By Daniel Patrick Sheehan and Arlene Martinez Of The Morning Call Offended by a masseuse's offer to go beyond routine rubbing into something downright unprintable, the spa customer went to the state police and offered his services: He would take on the role of confidential informant and gather evidence of prostitution at North Whitehall's Shiatsu Spa. He ended up having sex four times in the name of justice. When that fact emerged this week during a Lehigh County Court hearing for one of two spa employees charged with prostitution in the 2006 case, it cast light on a surprisingly common and irony-rich investigative procedure: having civilians pay for sex during crackdowns on sex-for-pay. The same technique was used in a massage parlor crackdown in August, when state police at Fogelsville repeatedly used an informant to build a case against Hana Massage Therapy in Lower Macungie. A month earlier, Hilltown Township police arrested the owner of the 7 Day Spa after an informant paid $40 for a sex act. Defenders of the practice, which also has been used in Virginia, Tennessee, Arizona and other states, say it is often necessary to make solid cases against what are essentially brothels in disguise. And with police generally -- though not always -- barred from engaging in sexual behavior during investigations, civilians are the only alternative. www.iswface.org

Judge drops sex case as 'outrageous' Lehigh court: Police let informant go too far in spa prostitution inquiry. February 05, 2008 | By Debbie Garlicki Of The Morning Call

State police investigating the Shiatsu Spa on Route 309 paid the informant $180 for his "time" and gave him money to pay for sexual acts in the spa in June and July 2006. "We conclude that the decision to send the citizen into Shiatsu Spa on four occasions for a smorgasbord of sexual activity violates the principles of fundamental fairness," Judge Robert L. Steinberg said in a Jan. 24 written opinion. "Neither the prostitution activity inside the Shiatsu Spa nor the police decision-making is to be condoned." Maureen Coggins, the lawyer for Sun Cha Chon, 53, of Cross Kill, N.J., applauded the ruling Monday. She said she hopes the decision will discourage police from engaging in similar investigative tactics. "The facts were just so shocking that it really pushed this case into a whole different realm," Coggins said. "Does the public want their tax dollars to be used to pay some guy money to get sexual intercourse four times? It is disgusting.” [We note- THE PROSECUTOR DEFENDS THE PRACTICE:] District Attorney James B. Martin said he will appeal the decision to the state Superior Court. "I think it's absurd to say that the conduct that police engaged in in this set of circumstances, with someone who was known to run brothels, is outrageous," Martin said. "With all due respect to Judge Steinberg, I think he used his own moral compass to decide this case and not the law and the facts." The investigation started after a man told state police he went to the spa and was appalled that someone offered to perform sexual acts. After the man volunteered his services, police attached a body wire to his pants and sent him into the spa. www.iswface.org

Report: Green Tree Police Chief Gets Naked During Prostitution Sting

The criminal complaint said the sting happened on Sept. 9 when Chief Andrew Lisiecki set up a date at a Green Tree hotel. According to police paperwork, Lisiecki paid Akudo Duro, of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., with official funds, then got naked and laid on the bed. "It's very rare to see in an affidavit of probable cause, actual touching goes on," said attorney Blaine Jones.

Good ol’ boy Police Chief Andrew Lisiecki got his rocks off before making an arrest... in the name of rescuing that poor ‘sex trafficking victim...’

The report said the chief allowed the woman to begin performing a sex act on him. At some point after that, he informed her that she was under arrest. Jones, who has represented accused prostitutes in past, said the chief's actions are questionable. "The money is on the table, should have been case closed," said Jones. Lisieki said the exchange of money was not enough to warrant an arrest. "Once she pulled out condoms, everything else was implied. Once agreement was made, an arrest was affected," said Lisieki. Lisieki also told Channel 11 News that Pittsburgh police are doing such a good job of cracking down on prostitution that more prostitutes are showing up in suburbs.

But if prostitutes are victims of ‘sex trafficking’ why are police officers allowed to have sex with them in order to arrest them- for being a victim? Would we permit cops to have sex with alleged rape victims or victims of domestic violence in order to arrest them for... being a victim????? www.iswface.org

The fact that law enforcement is permitted to extort cooperation out of ‘suspected’ or ‘known’ prostitutes, madams, pimps and clients, forcing them into becoming informants- has not helped the problem. The courts have upheld the use of prostitutes to have sex with other ‘criminal suspects’ to obtain a legitimate reason to arrest the ‘more dangerous criminal,’ for which the prostitute is paid by law enforcement (taxpayers) to break the law and be ‘exploited’ for the benefit of law enforcement. http://articles.latimes.com/1987-04-09/news/mn-392_1_court-oks-government Other states allow law enforcement agents to have sex with a suspected prostitute to make an arrest. They may also utilize the services of ‘civic minded’ men in the community to have sex with a suspected prostitute - men who receive compensation for having sex... in order to testify against the alleged prostitute, because, according to Northampton County (PA) District Attorney John Morganelli “ the completion of sexual acts allows police to bring more substantive charges against suspects -- felony-level prostitution rather than misdemeanor attempt, for example. That can give authorities ammunition to close a spa.” “The case is further strengthened if

the informant has sex with multiple employees because it shows prostitution is prevalent and not the work of a maverick,” according to a former FBI agent. Is this what defenders of ‘sex trafficking’ laws have in mind as a way for law enforcement officers to coerce testimony from suspected victims of sex trafficking? Defense attorney Coggins said the tactic further victimizes women. "I guess you can argue it can make the case stronger, but at what cost?” Indeed. http://articles.mcall.com/2007-09-23/news/3776616_1_massage-parlor-prostitution-informant

COPS HAVE SEX WITH PROSTITUTES TO “RESCUE” THEM

Police corruption involving the enforcement of vice laws, including drugs, gambling and prostitution, have been the bane of law enforcement agencies worldwide. There is a direct cause and effect relationship between increased penalties for any prostitution and prostitution related activities and an increase in police abuse, extortion and rape of prostitutes. The age of the prostitute doesn’t seem to make a difference to those officers inclined to use the law for their own nefarious purposes.

“Prostitution is like rape...”

NATIONAL FBI CRIMINAL STATISTICS - 1991-2012 This table represents 22 years worth of reported crimes for forcible rape and sexual assault, arrests for forcible rape/ sexual assaults compared to arrests for prostitution in which the complainant is a law enforcement officer who may or may not have had sex with the alleged prostitute in order to elicit a ’crime’ and prove his case in court. In many cases, a charge of disorderly conduct is used if the arresting officer does not have sufficient evidence to prove a prostitution violation has taken place, which is why those arrests are included in this table.

Part IV- “Prostitution is violence against women...” The argument that many prostitution abolitionists make about legalization and decriminalization is that, according to them, violence against prostitutes doesn’t decrease and prostitutes are no safer than when they were considered criminals. But this is not a credible argument for many reasons; primarily because violence against any group of people does not justify criminalizing the individuals or group of individuals regardless of how much violence they experience for being part of the group. Violence against wives and children by husbands, boyfriends and fathers would not justify outlawing marriage or personal relationships, regardless of how many incidents of such violence were reported. In countries where prostitution has been legalized or decriminalized, for obvious reasons we cannot know how accurately incidents of violence against prostitutes were recorded prior to a change in the law, or how many prostitutes reported the crimes against them while they were still considered criminals. Many prostitutes simply endure the violence knowing that reporting the crime to the police might very well lead to their own arrest, or possible rape or extortion at the hands of the law enforcement officer. Therefore, when they are no longer outlaws themselves, prostitutes who previously refrained from reporting crimes against them now can seek help from the police. Suddenly there is a spike in reported violence against prostitutes, which is used as ‘proof’ by the abolitionists that prostitutes are no safer after decriminalization than they were before. Yet that is not valid evidence of anything. From the sex worker’s perspective, however, being able to report crimes of violence- rape, robbery, assault etc.- to the police who are no longer going to threaten to arrest you, is certainly preferable to knowing that you have no recourse when you are victimized by clients, employers or those who hate prostitutes. Homosexuality is no longer a crime in most countries, yet hate crimes against gays have not gone away. One might observe that decriminalizing homosexuality has not made gays any safer either. Would that be a valid argument to re-criminalize homosexuality? When gays were outlaws, the cops physically and sexually abused and assaulted them. And when they were incarcerated for being gay, they were raped in jail... just as prostitutes are now. Can anyone argue that it would be better for gays to return to the days when they were considered criminals and could be rounded up and arrested just for being in a place known for having gay patrons? The abolitionists argue that intangible harm is done to us merely by being ‘objectified’ by men. They claim that men see us as ‘sex objects,’ abrogating our individual personhood. Yet they cannot see that they themselves ‘objectify’ prostitutes, turning individuals into ‘victim objects’ without agency. We are no more individual human beings to them than they claim we are to men. However, their ‘objectification’ of us doesn’t pay the rent or feed our families, while being a sex object does. In a system where neither the prostitute or his/her non violent, non abusive client, employer or associate are facing the possibility of arrest and can report violence against them, everyone IS safer. Prostitution prohibition is violence against women.

“Prostitution is violence against women...”

On June 20, 2013, the World Health Organization and the UN issued a report on violence against women: About one in three women worldwide experience sexual or physical violence at least once in their lives, according to a World Health Organization report released Thursday. Put together by the WHO in partnership with the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine and the South African Medical Research Council, the report says 35 percent of women around the world are victims of sexual or physical violence, and that assault at the hands of an intimate partner is by far the most common form of such violence. In fact, a whopping 30 percent of women globally were found to be domestic violence victims.

WHO report highlights violence against women as a ‘global health problem of epidemic proportions’

Domestic Violence is Violence Against Women

Domestic Violence is Violence Against Women

New clinical and policy guidelines launched to guide health sector response 20 JUNE 2013 | GENEVA - Physical or sexual violence is a public health problem that affects more than one third of all women globally, according to a new report released by WHO in partnership with the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine and the South African Medical Research Council.

Is marriage and any other intimate partner relationship also ‘violence against women’? Would the appropriate response to all that ‘violence against women’ be to ban personal relationships and marriage? Why does society want to eliminate all commercial sex to prevent violence against prostitutes, if not all or even most prostitutes are victims of violence in their work? And if they are victims violence, why are they precluded from the protection of the criminal justice system? Even though the majority of women world wide are NOT victims of violence, would it help any of those who ARE victims to arrest, prosecute and punish the husbands or boyfriends of those who are not victims? Why is arresting, prosecuting and punishing the non violent, non abusive clients, employers and associates of sex workers considered an appropriate response to whatever violence a prostitute may experience, rather than ensuring all sex workers have access to the criminal justice system ? www.iswface.org

June 20, 2013 CNN) -- “One in three women experience sexual or physical violence - most likely from their intimate partner, according to a report from the World Health Organization. The report, called the first of its kind, estimates the global toll of such violence on women at 35.6%. In a statement, Dr. Margaret Chan, the director-general of WHO, described it as a "global health problem of epidemic proportions." Women who have been physically and sexually abused are more likely to contract HIV/AIDS, to have an abortion, to get depression, injuries, alcohol use disorders and pregnancy complications, according to the WHO report. About 38% of all murdered women are killed by an intimate partner (compared with 6% of all murdered men).”

Domestic Violence is Violence Against Women

Domestic Violence is Violence Against Women

“Prostitution is violence against women...”

The world population of women aged 15 to 65 and over, according to the CIA World Factbook (as noted earlier) is estimated to be 2,633,471,407. If one out of three women is the victim of violence, that would be approximately 869,045,564 victims of violence- most victimizations from an intimate partner- in other words, domestic violence. There is no estimate of the number of female sex workers world wide, but surely, even if 100% of female sex workers experienced violence during the course of their work lives, the number would be a tiny fraction of the number of all women who experienced violence. Just as the majority of women - 2 out of 3- do NOT experience any violence at all, the majority of sex workers do not experience violence at the hands of their clients, employers or associates. Or they may very well experience violence in their personal relationships just as 1 out of 3 women world wide do. With such a significant percentage of violence against women occurring across all borders and among all populations, violence against women cannot be attributed to a woman’s profession. In other words, violence in not inherent in prostitution, it is inherent in human nature. If society doesn’t plan to ‘abolish’ or ‘eliminate’ all relationships in which there is a risk of violence, why do governments and prostitution abolitionists use ‘violence against women’ as an excuse to continue to ban prostitution, rather than work with sex workers to make our work safer? Given the latest estimates of violence against women world wide, it would seem to be use of scarce resources to allow victims to report the violence they may experience WHEN they experience it, rather than presume that all women are victims of violence all the time. www.iswface.org

Domestic Violence is Violence Against Women

Domestic Violence is Violence Against Women

•In 2011 there were 243,800 reported violent rapes and sexual assaults for which police managed to arrest 14,943 alleged rapists (6%)

•In 2011, police nationwide made 56,371 arrests for consenting adult prostitution where NO ONE had asked for help or reported being a victim of sex trafficking Why so few arrests for rape, leaving 94% of victim of rape and sexual assaults without justice? Because there are insufficient resources to test DNA samples and then to pursue, apprehend, prosecute and incarcerate all those alleged rapists. Many states are releasing inmates early because there is no room in county jails or state prisons for all of them. When adult and juvenile prostitutes are arrested, they are at risk of being raped by the police and by the jail/ prison staff. The law enforcement agents who rape inmates are seldom brought to justice. Reporting a rape is far more likely to bring punishment to the victim than the perpetrator. * “On average, 24 people per minute are victims of rape, physical violence, or stalking by an intimate partner in the United States, based on a survey conducted in 2010. Over the course of a year, that equals more than 12 million women and men. Those numbers only tell part of the story—more than 1 million women are raped in a year and over 6 million women and men are victims of stalking in a year.” * Statistics for 2012 are not yet available

“Ending the Demand” The so called “Swedish Model”

“Prostitution is violence against women...”

Prostitution abolitionists claim that the way to stop sex trafficking is to ‘end the demand’ for prostitution. The intent is to entirely eliminate all forms of commercial sex, including pornography in any form, stripping, exotic dancing and prostitution. For abolitionists from the religious right, it is a moral issue. For the radical feminists on the far left, it is a social issue- and for both, it is an ideological crusade that takes a ‘scorched earth’ approach, using whatever means necessary to disallow consenting adult men and women from using their bodies in a sexual way for any monetary compensation. For politicians, it is a means to garner favor with voters. Despite their claims, this crusade has nothing to do with the health or well being of sex workers, nothing to do with ‘violence against women’ and certainly nothing to do with ‘human trafficking.’ The leaders of this blatantly political, twisted anti- sex/ anti- human sexuality witch hunt know exactly what emotional buttons to push to make otherwise rational people accept the bizarre claims and complete fabrications these prostitution abolitionists use to impose their ideological agenda on the governments of the world. It has made strange bedfellows of two completely philosophically opposed groups which would not, under any other circumstance, have anything to do with the other.

“Ending the Demand”

“ENDING THE DEMAND” Sweden Treating Prostitution as Violence Against Women

For millennium, patriarchal religions and their governments have attempted to ‘abolish’ prostitution, at times even imposing the death penalty on prostitutes and madams, and yet prostitution continues to flourish. A number of European countries have either already adopted what is called the “Swedish Model” or are considering it as a ‘way to deal with the prostitution problem...’ This is the policy in which the prostitute is no longer a criminal and is not arrested, but criminalizes her clients. While there are countless male and transgendered persons who are also sex workers, this crusade is primarily designed to prevent women from providing pleasure to men, which it views as exploitation of women. If ‘ending the demand’ for prostitution was a viable solution to stop sex trafficking, shouldn’t we campaign to ‘end the demand’ for all the types of labor into which persons are trafficked? Laws which address only ‘sex trafficking’ do not address the trafficking of men, women and children into non sex industry labor. Why doesn’t it? Are those victims less important to anti- trafficking activists? www.iswface.org

“Prostitution is violence against women...”

Here’s how the “Swedish Model” really works... Top Swedish prosecutor who handled the cases of other men arrested for hiring prostitutes was... arrested for hiring a prostitute... Nothing like a little hypocrisy... unlike prostitutes and their non government agent clients who get arrested, this article did not disclose this prosecutor’s name...

Top prosecutor nabbed in prostitution sting Published: 26 Feb 13 17:18 CET | Print version

Police in Stockholm were surprised on Monday to find that a man they had arrested for buying sex from a prostitute was the duty prosecutor to whom they were obliged to report the crime. The chief prosecutor spent Monday evening with a female prostitute in a central Stockholm hotel. A police squad, however, had been tipped off and was waiting for him in the staircase outside the room.

“Ending the Demand”

“Ending the Demand” The so called “Swedish model”

Officers were surprised to learn of the man's status while arresting him, as he was the prosecutor on duty to whom they should report the crime. The man paid 1,500 kronor ($232) for the sex, according to the Expressen newspaper. He had allegedly found the escort online, when "surfing around on his iPhone" during a train trip, during which he consumed half a bottle of wine and a beer. "And then I did what I am suspected of - I went out into the staircase and the police arrested me there," the prosecutor told the Aftonbladet newspaper. He has confessed to the crime, and his family has been notified. "My wife will leave me and my children think I have behaved like a pig. Even my friends think the same," he told Expressen. The man told Aftonbladet that in his experience as a prosecutor, he knew that the "stupidest thing" he could do was to lie. "I have done what I've done, I'm standing with my pants down. The worst is what I have done to my family and friends," he said. The arrested man explained that another prosecutor would take care of the case, and that he was unaware of his punishment, or when it would likely be determined. www.iswface.org

If prostitution is in fact ‘violence against women,’ is it a good idea to put notoriously violent law enforcement officers in charge of protecting sex workers?

"Domestic violence is far more common among the families of police officers than among the rest of the population, according to the U.S. Department of Justice and the National Center for Women and Policing. At least 40% of police families are affected by domestic violence, as opposed to an estimated 10% in other households..." October 30, 2011 Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

And if police officers know they will most likely get away with beating their wives/ girlfriends, why would they think that they would be punished if they abused prostitutes? A list of violent officers who beat their spouses or kill their wives, children and themselves, can be found here:

“Prostitution is violence against women...”

Sex workers say “‘Violence against women’” is violence against womenNOT “prostitution is violence against women” We note that there is also significant violence against men and transgendered persons- both in and out of sex work. There is violence by males against males, females against females. No gender or age is immune from violence. Violence is inherent in nature, whether or not human. In all cases where it exists in humans, it is only appropriate to investigate, pursue, prosecute and punish those who commit violent acts against others of any age or gender, based on assertions of violence by the injured party, not on assertions of violence made by uninvolved third party moralists/ radical feminists with an ideological agenda, or those who stand to financially benefit from an inflated number of harmed ‘victims.’ It is never appropriate to blame or punish the victim, or to ban the labor or sexual activity of consenting adults based on the tendentious claims of ‘harm’ or ‘violence’ by those aforementioned uninvolved third parties. It is never appropriate to insist that an individual or group of individuals experienced violence or harm if they tell you they did not. And it is never appropriate to disallow the claims of someone who was a victim of violence or abuse if they allege that they were, even if the violence or abuse was perpetrated by a government or law enforcement agent. A victim of violence or abuse can only speak of his/ her own experience: his/ her victimization, no matter how severe, does not entitle them to speak on behalf of or instead of any other persons who do not make the same claims of abuse.

“Prostitution is violence against women...” CONSIDER: •In ALL cases of rape and intimate partner violence- as well as any other crime (except homicide), victims are required to file a criminal complaint against the alleged perpetrator before the police will launch an investigation into the allegations. •In NO cases of rape, domestic violence or suspected child sexual exploitation are law enforcement agents permitted to initiate a complaint by compromising the ‘victim’ in order to coerce the victim to testify against their abuser or rapist (in this case, ‘compromise’ means to have sex with alleged victim) Yet, to ‘rescue’ victims of prostitution- or ‘sex trafficking,’ police are allowed to go as far as necessary to secure an arrest and conviction, even if the victim has not asked for help and the cops must coerce the alleged victim to testify against the alleged pimp, employer or ‘trafficker,’ ...even if it means putting the prostitute, her/his family and her/his client’s health at risk by confiscating condoms so prosecutors can use the condoms as evidence against a prostitute to force her/him to testify against her/his ‘pimps and traffickers’ to obtain a conviction! Increased ‘sex trafficking’ legislation gives cops more incentive to continue these dangerous practices... “Kate Hogan, a prosecutor who is the former president of the (NY) state district attorneys' association, said the real goal of prostitution cases is ‘to get the pimps and the sex traffickers.’ Giving up supporting evidence (condoms) would be giving them ‘a lot of leeway we don't want to give them,’ she said.” http:// www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/04/17/sex-workers-project-condoms-prostitute-ban_n_1432828.html

“Prostitution is like rape...”

1890s: “A prostitute stood virtually no chance of proving rape, especially against a policeman. A rape charge depended upon a woman’s refusal of consent to an act of sex, considered impossible behavior for a prostitute...”

Jeffrey Nichols ‘Prostitution, Polygamy, and Power Salt Lake City 1847- 1918’ pg. #103

2013- “Nothing has changed. In 2013, cops can still rape us and get away with it. A prostitute still has virtually no chance of proving rape... especially against a policeman... some cops may be fired, some may be prosecuted, and some may be punished... but the majority of cops can do whatever they want to us and know that nothing will happen to them.” Norma Jean Almodovar Founder, ISWFACE www.iswface.org

The following are just a few of the many cases of the corruption, exploitation and abuse of people in the sex industry by law enforcement agents who are given the power and authority to control the lives of prostitutes through laws enacted because prostitution abolitionists claim that prostitution is ‘like rape’ regardless of what the prostitute experiences. Incidents from around the country show that these are not isolated cases, but occur with regularity, decade after decade, city to city, police department to police department, from the lowliest beat cop to the highest ranking members of the police force. Even judges, senators, governors, Secret Service agents and members of the military engage in sex with prostitutes, either by consensual agreement or by force. It is the job of law enforcement agents to enforce laws enacted by legislators and voters. If cops cannot keep their pants zipped up now, what can we expect from them with the power additional ‘anti- trafficking’ laws used to ‘fight prostitution’ would give to these law enforcement agents who are already out of control? There are ways for madams, prostitutes and traffickers to work without fear of arrest... (1) become an informant (2) pay protection money to cops and politicians (3) provide sexual favors to cops, judges and politicians FYI: A number of the stories presented in this document may not yet be resolved, and/ or the original media story is no longer available through unpaid archives. www.iswface.org

Cops Use Madams and Prostitutes as Informants

“Prostitution is like rape...”

The relationship the police had with Madam Alex during the years she reigned as madam in Hollywood should raise some troubling questions for prostitution abolitionists: First, if ‘pandering’ is worse than rape or robbery (People v. Almodovar 1985) why would one madam be allowed to continue for years to exploit some women while other madams or even just prostitutes are prosecuted and sent to prison for many years for the same activity? Second, is it acceptable to ‘exploit’ some women as long as they cooperate with the police? Third, how do the police determine which prostitutes it is okay to ‘exploit’ (meaning not arrest) and which women should be ‘protected’ from ‘exploitation’ by arresting them, utterly destroying their lives? Finally, is it acceptable that the women who don’t cooperate with the police and do not provide them with sex, money or information about their ‘johns,’ ‘pimps’ or other prostitutes are arrested and either sent to jail or forced to testify against their non violent, non abusive clients, employers or family members whom the police wish to charge with human trafficking? As long as a madam or sex worker cooperates with the nice police officers, they can continue to ‘exploit’ or be ’exploited. If prostitution is really like rape, why is it okay with society that cops can rape prostitutes and not be punished? www.iswface.org

Become an informant for the cops and you can ‘traffick’ all the women you want

Madam Alex and the Vice Cops of the LAPD

If you have something to offer the cops- you can be a pimp, panderer or human trafficker- without fear of going to prison. Madam Alex received a probation sentence for her years of pandering and pimping activity of which the cops were fully aware and in fact expected her to remain working in that capacity. Otherwise, she had nothing to offer them.

Cops Using Prostitutes as Informants- Prostitutes end up dead

LAPD is far from the only police department using prostitutes and madams as informants. Sunday September 30, 1990, San Diego Union reported then Police Chief Bob Burgreen as saying “dealing with prostitutes - especially on an informant basis- is a

very large part of our business and that perhaps citizens in a largely conservative community like San Diego may have a hard time understanding that..”

“Alleged links between cops, prostitutes raise many deeply troubling questions” Staff writers Jim Okerblom, Joe Cantlupe, J/ Stryker Meyer and Dayna Lynn Fried

COPS RAPE /EXTORT PROSTITUTES

Donna Gentile was a police informant and one of over 40 San Diego street sex workers who were found murdered. The police had an unofficial name for prostitutes like Donna, when the prostitutes were found dead... they called the victims “NHI’s” which stands for “No Humans Involved...” which is the primary reason that the homicides of so many of the street workers went un-investigated for years, until the numbers of dead prostitutes reach nearly epidemic proportions. Donna was an informant for a number of cops during her years on the street, had sex with several, and was even invited to family outings with a few. She was killed in June, 1983, just months after she testified about her relationship with two of the officers. Her body was found with gravel shoved in her mouth... perhaps because she talked too much?

In addition to the burglary ring and sex with minors, the cops in Hollywood (CA) were also extorting prostitutes for sexual favors. Jack Myers, who was killed in a very suspicious auto accident after he named at least 10 other officers who were involved in the criminal activity and for which none of them were convicted or served any timetold investigators about the routine for the cops who worked nights- “Policemen picked up prostitutes on the boulevard (Sunset) and took them up to the ‘tree’ in Griffith Park, where they had sex in exchange for not hassling the women during their ‘solicitations.’ “

This sexual activity involved “half of the department” which means the other half knew about it and did nothing. The sergeant mastermind of this criminal enterprise made certain that the cops whom he was recruiting into the ranks of crooked cops, got involved with the prostitutes, drinking on duty and gambling so that he had the ‘goods’ on them so he could trust them ‘so they would not divulge other improprieties.’ www.iswface.org

She was to be a key witness in the Hollywood Cop scandal, but she was murdered, her throat slit- perhaps as a warning to anyone else who might be thinking of testifying against the crooks on the LAPD...

Cops Rape/ Extort/ Solicit Prostitutes

On August 8, 2012, the Ohio State Attorney General’s office released a report it had commissioned on domestic sex trafficking in that state. Newspapers across the US touted the ‘ground breaking research’ based on interviews with a very small number of underage and adult people (328 ) involved in the sex industry. Although other researchers had previously stated what prostitutes of all ages and nationalities have told them, this report was based on research conducted at the behest of the state government.

The report, which can be found here: http://images.publicaster.com/ImageLibrary/account622/documents/ 2012%20Human%20Trafficking%20Commission%20Research%20and%20Analysis%20Report.pdf stated “Victims of sex trafficking involved through manipulation reported they sold sex to the following buyers: Almost half, 46.5% (20) provided sexual services to law enforcement; 37% or 16 were sold to businessmen and to drug dealers; 32.6% (14) provided sexual services to lawyers; 30% or 13 to Truckers; 28% or 12 were sold to managers in professional positions and to factory workers; 26% or 11 were sold to military men; 23% or 10 to teachers; 21% or 9 were sold to Government Employees and professional or semi-professional sports players;18.6% or 8 were sold to City Employees; 16.3% or 7 were sold to Construction Workers and to politicians; 14% or 6 were sold to postal employees; 9.3% or 4 were sold to retail workers, social workers and state employees; 7% or 3 were sold to ministers/pastors and judges.” (The total percentage of sex trafficking victims sold to government employees including cops is quite high- if they were even arrested, does anyone think those ‘johns’ will be punished as severely as a non government employee customers?)

A prior study by academics writing a book entitled “Super Freakanomics” noted “Of all the tricks turned by the prostitutes he tracked, roughly 3 percent were freebies given to police officers. The data don’t lie: a Chicago street prostitute is more likely to have sex with a cop than to be arrested by one.” http://www.freakonomics.com/ 2009/11/18/superfreakonomics-book-club-ask-sudhir-venkatesh-about-street-prostitution/

Cops Rape Prostitutes

“Prostitution is like rape...”

TAINTED FORCE: A special report.; Newark Police Troubles: Out of Control at the Top By DAVID KOCIENIEWSKI and JOHN SULLIVAN Published: December 23, 1995

In the summer of 1993, 26 Newark police officers were accused of raping, robbing and beating prostitutes. Although the victims identified the officers through photo line-ups, city records show that the department never followed through on the allegations and has done nothing to discipline the officers.

This happens every day in America and around the world where consenting adult prostitution is illegal... the more power you give to law enforcement agents to arrest prostitutes or those with whom they work or their clients, the more abuse occurs. Why do the cops do it? Because

they can. Society has given them carte

blanche to use whatever means necessary to ‘rescue’ ‘victims’ of sex trafficking, whether or not the rescued party identifies as being a victim. New laws aimed solely at ‘sex trafficking’ only increase this power to rape, extort and abuse sex workers.

Cops Rape Prostitutes

2011 San Diego Police Officer Daniel Dana 07/19/2012 SAN DIEGO—”A former San Diego police officer accused of forcing a prostitute to have sex has pleaded no contest to a lesser charge. U-T San Diego says 27-year-old Daniel Dana entered the plea Wednesday to engaging in a lewd act in public. He was sentenced to three years probation.” He is not required to register as a sex offender. “Dana had faced several felony charges in San Diego Superior Court, including rape under color of authority, assault and battery by an officer, and false imprisonment, and could have been sent to prison for more than 17 years if convicted. Those charges were dropped with his plea. Dana originally was charged with felonies including rape under color of authority. Prosecutors claim he threatened to send a prostitute he knew to jail in May unless she had sex with him. The woman said she was scared into having sex with him at a park. Dana's lawyer argued they had consensual sex.

Prosecutor Annette Irving says a plea deal was struck because of concerns about whether a jury would be able to agree that a prostitute had been raped. “The prostitute testified he told her ‘either I give him what he wants or I go to jail.’ The woman said the officer told her to get into his patrol car, and he took her to Presidio Park, where they had sex.” Dana was charged last year (2011) at a time when the Police Department was dealing with a rash of misconduct charges against officers. One officer, Anthony Arevalos, was sentenced to more than eight years in prison after being convicted in November of eight felonies and four misdemeanors for molesting women he had stopped for traffic violations.

Prostitutes are not believed when they tell society that they are NOT victims of sex traffickingAnd they are not believed when they report being victims of rape (in particular, raped by a law enforcement agent). How can the government expect to get convictions of those it claims exploit prostitutes if we are not believed when we ask for help and report those who abuse us? Why are cops who rape NON sex workers given prison time but probation if they rape prostitutes? www.iswface.org

Cops Rape Prostitutes

(2013) Ex-West Sacramento officer due in court today on sexual assault charges By Kim Minugh [email protected] Published: Wednesday, Feb. 27, 2013 Page 1B

The former West Sacramento police officer accused of sexually assaulting women while on duty faces 35 criminal counts, including charges that he used his power as a peace officer to force his victims into sex acts, according to an indictment unsealed Tuesday. Sergio Alvarez, 37, is scheduled to be arraigned on the charges today in Yolo Superior Court. As of Tuesday evening, he was being held in lieu of $29.3 million bail. According to West Sacramento police, Alvarez is accused of

assaulting six women between the ages of 20 and 47 while on duty. The alleged attacks sometimes occurred inside his patrol car.

The indictment, handed up by a grand jury assembled over the weekend to review the case, alleges that the assaults occurred between Oct. 1, 2011, and Sept. 23, 2012. It also notes that two of the victims were assaulted on more than one occasion.

include rape, sodomy, forced oral copulation and kidnapping – referring to Alvarez's alleged decision to move some of the victims to another location. Several of the Penal Code sections include language that the alleged assaults were committed "by threatening to use the authority of a public official to incarcerate, arrest or deport the victim or another." Lt. Tod Sockman, a spokesman for West Sacramento police, said he could not discuss how the victims were contacted or how the alleged assaults came about. However, he noted that the women had similar accounts and that the cases generally followed a pattern. Sockman also declined to say whether some of the women — who police said "frequented the West Capitol Avenue" area – were prostitutes. In a news release issued Monday, police Chief Dan Drummond described the victims as "vulnerable."

2007 Albuquerque Police Officer David Maes “ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) - A former Albuquerque police officer plead no-contest to rape and false-imprisonment charges on Friday and was sentenced to probation...

District Court Judge Pat Murdoch said it would be a harsh sentence for an ex-cop. “The impact and the punishment that he would receive in prison would be more than anybody else going to prison for the same allegations,” Murdoch said. Under the terms of the deal, the judge could have given him 4 1/2 years in prison... The defense said Cordova was a known prostitute before and after the rape accusations were made and Maes was in a police uniform. “In the end Mr. Maes acknowledges it's not appropriate for a police officer to have sex with somebody in their custody,” defense attorney Joseph Riggs said.

As part of the plea deal Maes does not have to register as a sex offender, and once he completes his probation the conviction will be wiped off his record.” http://www.krqe.com/dpp/news/crime/Ex-cop-pleads-no-contest-in-rape-case

A cop who rapes a prostitute does not have to register as a sex offender, but our non violent, non abusive clients, employers and others with whom we work are considered “SEX TRAFFICKERS” under new human trafficking laws and they must register as sex offenders even if they were our drivers or our family members or our boyfriends etc... www.iswface.org

Riggs said the former officer’s plea does not mean he admits his guilt. He said Maes just wants to move on with his life. “He doesn't admit that he raped her," Riggs said.  "He admits that he had sex with her."

2012 Former cop accused of robbing, assaulting prostitute June 4, 2012 “POTTSTOWN (PA) — A former area police officer has been charged with felony robbery and aggravated assault after allegedly beating up a prostitute he paid $20 to in exchange for sex. According to court records and a police report, Brian L. Mabry, 46, of 2502 Romig Road, New Hanover, allegedly assaulted the woman when she wouldn’t let him put his hands down her pants. Pottstown police were dispatched to the 300 block of Circle of Progress around 4:30 p.m. May 22 for a report of a woman who had been assaulted. When officers arrived, they found the victim topless and complaining of pain to her left arm. The woman told police she had been assaulted by a man who paid her to perform oral sex on him, police detailed in a report. The victim told police a man, later identified as Mabry, was “looking for a good time” when he picked her up in his truck from a parking lot in the area of North Charlotte and Chestnut streets, according to the police report. The woman admitted to police she was working as a prostitute and believed Mabry wanted to have sex with her. The woman said she agreed to perform oral sex on Mabry in exchange for $20 and Mabry drove the woman to a less populated area on Circle of Progress.

The victim told police Mabry “threw her to the ground and placed her in a headlock,” police indicated in the report. The victim said Mabry kept repeating “You don’t know who you’re (expletive) with,” and the victim said she thought Mabry was going to kill her. The victim said Mabry took the $20 from her pocket as well as the cell phone battery from her phone and let her go. The victim told police Mabry threw her cell phone battery into the woods nearby and then got into his truck...

A search of court records Sunday indicated Mabry had not been arrested, although charges against him were filed by Pottstown Police on May 30. Mabry is charged with first-, second- and third-degree felony robbery, first-degree felony aggravated assault, misdemeanor counts of recklessly endangering another person, simple assault, promoting prostitution, patronizing prostitutes, theft by unlawful taking and receiving stolen property...” http://www.timesherald.com/article/20120604/NEWS01/120609859/-1/news/size=2%20style=

The woman told police Mabry appeared to be drunk and was acting strange during their drive.

As she began to perform oral sex on Mabry he tried to put his hands down the back of her pants, but she stopped him. The victim told Mabry “that wasn’t part of the deal,” and he got mad and began cursing and yelling and then got out of the truck and went to the passenger side where he pulled the victim from the truck.

A state Superior Court jury also found Rolllins, a 13-year decorated police officer, guilty on multiple counts of second-degree sexual assault, including assault on a fifth victim, criminal use of a computer and official misconduct. Six women testified Rollins forced them into sex acts or touched them sexually against their will. And while convicting Rollins on 18 counts, the jurors acquitted him of second-degree sexual assault and official misconduct involving an alleged victim from 2006.

Rollins, 43, had pleaded not guilty to all 20 counts...

Four of the women Rollins is convicted of raping were in their late teens or early 20s... In her closing argument, prosecutor Marshall said Rollins used his position as a police officer for sex, calling him arrogant and overconfident... Rollins used "soft, subtle power abuse, situational force," Marshall said. http://www.adn.com/2011/02/22/1716567/ex-officer-rollins-guilty-of-most.html

More than a year later, his victims are locked in a battle with the municipality as they try to get answers as to why Rollins wasn't pulled off the streets sooner. And now an attorney for some of Rollins' victims said the police officer had raped many, many other women. And she said APD knew about the attacks and did nothing... "I should have said, 'no.' I should have told him to stop. Like, I don't know. I really didn't feel like I could do anything,” one victim said on February 1, 2011. “Why did you feel like you couldn't do anything?” the district attorney asked. “Because he has so much power and he could, like, cause problems for me, I guess,” the victim said, crying. On February 2, 2011, another victim testified, crying, “He unzipped his pants and he took his thing out, he grabbed my hand, he took my hand and put it on himself. Schleuss (the DA) said they aren't the only women to share the nightmare. “There were many more, many more,” she said. “I can’t tell you how many there are – 20, 30,” Schleuss said. “I can't finish reading them all so I can't tell you… because how many transcripts of women who were raped can I read at one time?”’ http://www.ktva.com/internal?st=print&id=143995516&path=/home/outbound-xml-feeds www.iswface.org

2012: ANCHORAGE - “With convicted serial rapist and former Anchorage Police officer Anthony Rollins waiting to find out how much time he will spend in prison, new details on his behavior and how it was dealt with raise the question of whether sex on the job is part of the department's culture. This all comes from summaries that an attorney for five of Rollins’ victims acquired as part of a lawsuit against the city, which say he was kept on the job even though APD knew he was having sex on duty. If you read the partial reports or even listened to the Rollins trial, you have to decide for yourself if what Rollins was doing was being ignored. With a bold claim that other officers were having sex on the job just like him, for the former officer – convicted of serial rape in February of 2011 – it turns out sexual misconduct was happening long before he was caught.” http://www.ktva.com/home/outbound-xml-feeds/Was-Sex-on-the-Job-Acceptable-at-the-Anchorage-PoliceDepartment-141771673.html

Ex-officer guilty of sex assaults Feb. 4, 2007

by John Diedrich of the Journal Sentinel

A fired Milwaukee police officer who once wielded considerable political power was convicted Saturday of sexually assaulting two women he met on duty. Steven Lelinski, 42, was handcuffed and taken into custody by order of Circuit Judge Jeffrey Wagner. Lelinski had been free since he was first charged a year ago. Assistant District Attorney Miriam Falk, who portrayed Lelinski as a sexual predator in a police uniform, said the verdict shows that anyone with power, including police officers, must be held accountable. "If there is a message, it is that the authority people have shouldn't be abused," Falk said. "(Police officers) have taken this oath to protect and serve and when that's abused, that undermines public confidence in the whole system." The jury of eight women and four men deliberated more than 10 hours before announcing a mixed verdict, which found Lelinski guilty on the two most serious charges. Lelinski was convicted of second-degree sexual assault and attempted second-degree sexual assault, both felonies, and fourthSteven Lelinski, Milwaukee cop Pillar of the Community -degree sexual assault and lewd and lascivious behavior, both misdemeanors. He was acquitted on two counts of third-degree sexual assault. Lelinski, a 16-year veteran of the force, was fired in August, but he continued to be paid under a state law unique to Milwaukee police. As a convicted felon, he will "vacate" his position as a police officer at sentencing, thus ending his pay.

Lurid trial During the often lurid five-day trial, Falk said Lelinski used his police powers to pursue his victims and ultimately assault them. That pattern, Falk

argued, stretched back at least 10 years.

It worked for years as case after case was investigated by police internal affairs but rejected by prosecutors in the office where Falk works. Lelinski also avoided punishment by the department and continued in his position, which included training rookie officers. The first case Falk was involved in was an October 2005 assault. The victim said Lelinski met her on a routine call and then pursued her, ultimately coming to her home one morning and assaulting her in front of her 18-month-old daughter. Lelinski threw a $20 bill at her as he left and said she could expect to be arrested on a warrant, she said. After that case was charged, the district attorney's office dusted off a 2002 case it had earlier rejected. In that one, a woman said Lelinski, while in uniform and armed, assaulted her in her home, also leaving a $20 bill. That woman performed a sex act on Lelinski, she said, because she felt threatened. The third case involved a woman who said in January 2005, Lelinski took her into a room during a police call and pulled up her shirt, exposing her and making sexual comments and then slapping her on the buttocks. Her allegation surfaced after Lelinski was charged. The jury convicted Lelinski on the two crimes from 2005 and acquitted him of the 2002 incident.

“Prostitution is like rape...”

Pillar of the community, devoted husband, father of 6 and religious man, convicted rapist of prostitutes and other vulnerable women, Police Officer Steven Lelinski

....continued from previous page

TMJ October 2007 MILWAUKEE -A fired Milwaukee police officer convicted of sexually assaulting two women he met on duty will spend 21 years and 9 months behind bars. Steven Lelinski, 42, was convicted earlier this year for the crimes. He's remained behind bars since then. On Thursday, he came out of the jail cell deputy escorts. He was wearing an orange jail jumpsuit and shackles. The courtroom was filled with family and friends, including his wife, the mother of their six children, who vowed to stand by his side. Prosecutors described Lelinski as a man who lived two lives - one a devoted husband, father and a religious man, the other a police officer who used his authority to manipulate and exploit vulnerable women. The Journal Sentinel: June 12, 2012: The records showed Lelinski had 27 complaints filed against him during his 16-year career. The Journal Sentinel's investigation revealed that Lelinski's complaint total was three times more than the average number of complaints against other officers with similar tenure. Lelinski had been accused of sexually assaulting nine women over a decade but was never charged. Records showed police had presented at least five of the cases to prosecutors, who declined to issue charges, saying the accusers were not credible. Not credible because they were prostitutes? The Journal Sentinel found that the records revealed a pattern of a police officer using his authority to repeatedly sexually assault vulnerable women he encountered while on duty. He targeted women with records whose word would be unlikely to hold up against the word of a police officer in court.

If it weren’t for that pesky, insignificant conviction for rape of prostitutes, isn’t he the ideal cop to put in charge of ‘protecting’ the poor prostitutes from being raped by their non violent, non abusive clients, employers and associates?

Officer accused of assaults wrote thesis on abuse By John Diedrich and John Diedrich of the Journal Sentinel Oct. 4, 2006

Lelinski, 42, is charged with sexually assaulting three women - one of them during the time he would have been working on the master's thesis and, in court documents, also is accused of assaulting six other women whose cases are too old to prosecute. Prosecutors allege Lelinski used his position as an officer to aid him in meeting and assaulting the women and blunting some of their efforts to complain to authorities...

Steven Lelinski

Lelinski's 90-page thesis for Springfield College, which has a satellite office in Milwaukee, was titled, "Domestic Violence Re-Victimization: Rationalizations Utilized by Milwaukee Domestic Violence Victims for Remaining in Their Relationships." It was completed in December 2002 and a copy was obtained by the Journal Sentinel. One of the sexual assaults for which Lelinski is charged took place in July 2002, according to the complaint.

Officer tracked down names Lelinski, who joined the department in 1990, sought the names of every person who filed a domestic abuse complaint in Milwaukee in May 2002. He first tried to get the names from Sojourner Truth House, a shelter for domestic abuse victims. Lelinski wrote in the thesis that he didn't get the names from Sojourner and officials there confirmed that, adding they never release names of the people they serve. Using records from the district attorney's office and Police Department, Lelinski found 264 victims' names, according to the thesis. It appears he got those names using information available under state law.

“Prostitution is like rape...” Roger Magana and Portland Oregon Cops- Out of Control

Whitewash Victims' attorneys blast city report on officer sex scandal Eugene Weekly : 3.29.07 BY ALAN PITTMAN When Roger Magaña worked at the Eugene Police Department (EPD), women complained over and over that he was using his badge to force sex, but Eugene police did nothing. After Magaña was finally caught after six years and sent to prison for abusing a dozen women, substantial evidence emerged that other police officers had failed in the investigation, supervision and hiring of the criminal. But the police again did nothing.

Eugene Police Officer Roger Magaña Convicted Rapist

What the police and city did do is select a former cop who wrote a report that agreed with their inaction. That consultant, former McMinnville Police Chief Rod Brown, released a report last week that city officials claimed should restore lost citizen confidence in the EPD. City Manager Dennis Taylor praised the "incredibly objective" report, which largely concurred with the city position that no other officers should be investigated, disciplined or reprimanded for their handling of the Magaña complaints. The city paid $5 million to settle lawsuits by the victims of Magaña and Juan Lara, another officer convicted of a lesser sex crime spree. "I just hope this will close the chapter," Taylor said of the Brown report.

The analysis by the report writer just repeats all the justifications and excuses proffered by the Eugene Police Department as to how the abuse was allowed to spread to 35 women over six years. It isn't just the benefit of hindsight that allows us to see this. The law enforcement community who worked with Magaña and Lara are trained to detect criminal activity, especially sexual misconduct. The officers who knew parts of the entire puzzle are as important a part of how the extensive abuse continued as Magaña or Lara, and in some respects their willful disregard of what was obvious is just as bad as what Lara and Magaña did. We trusted them to do the right thing and even now with this inane report, they still refuse to take responsibility for their own actions. Elden Rosenthal, a prominent Portland civil rights attorney, represented two of Magaña's other victims. "I disagree strongly with the conclusions of the report," he said. "This is the reason that you don't have the police investigate the police," Rosenthal said. "This is the reason you need to have independent review." "The people of the city of Eugene should not countenance police not reporting the misconduct of their fellow officers," Rosenthal said. "Unless the culture of the Eugene Police Department changes, there will be other incidents of misconduct in the future."

But Michelle Burrows, the Portland attorney for one of Magaña's most frequent victims, called the Brown report a "whitewash." Burrows emailed that the retired police chief's report "itself manifests why society should not let the police review their own conduct." She continued:

“Prostitution is like rape...” Trial Begins For Perverted Eugene Cop Roger Magana: Media is Shut Out

Cop rapist Roger Magana continued

Police even get special treatment after they have been charged with sex crimes. Eugene Jurors are settling in for a long trial in the case against former Eugene Police Officer Roger Magana. Prosecutor Bob Lane started this morning by displaying a blown up image of a Eugene police officer badge. He told jurors "The power that comes with that badge is what this case is all about." He then outlined some of the testimony jurors can expect to hear from alleged victims in the weeks to come. Defense attorney Russell Barnett kept his opening statement short, focusing on the Eugene Police Departments's high-tech ability to keep tabs on it's officers. "He's either the slickest guy working with the dumbest people or perhaps the accusations don't add up." The six man, six woman jury and four alternates began hearing testimony from alleged victims this afternoon. They will hear from as many as 80 defense witnesses throughout the trial including from people with authority who had heard before about Magana's alleged abuse but took no action. Prosecutor Lane describes several of the alleged victims as having drug and mental health problems and others who are very different. He says they all were carefully chosen as easy targets for intimidation and abuse. Magana faces 52 charges ranging from official misconduct to rape.The trial continues Tuesday. The prosecution started by outlining the allegations against former officer Roger Magana from ten different women. Deputy D.A. Bob Lane grouped the alleged victims into two categories. One, women known to police, through prior arrests or calls, for things like drug or alcohol offenses, prostitution or domestic abuse. The other women, according to Lane, fall into the category of being in "the wrong place at the wrong time." This includes a subcategory for a teenager who went on several ride alongs with the former officer.

The defense attacked the credibility of the alleged victims. Attorney Russell Barnett says, the women have a "MOB" mentality. He says, they have a "Motive": money (many are suing the city). They have an "Opportunity": an accused officer. And he claims, they have a "Bias": many had run-ins with the law before, and don't like the police department. Barnett also argued, how could Magana hide these acts from the department, he was even promoted to training officer during this time. Barnett said, "He's either the slickest guy working with the dumbest people, or perhaps the allegations don't add up." The prosecution also called its first witness this afternoon. Testimony will continue next week. It could take as long as six weeks before the defense has a chance to present its witnesses.

Convicted of rape, kidnapping and other crimes, Magaña was sentenced in 2004 to a prison term of 94 years. http://www.philly.com/philly/news/special_packages/inquirer/ Two_officers_left_an_Oregon_city_reeling.html#QqztkmgWJ5IdoKkE.99 www.iswface.org

The prosecution's key evidence includes Magana's business cards, which Lane says were given to many of the women after the alleged attacks. Also, Magana's cell phone bills, which were sent to a P.O. Box, and paid for in cash. Lane says, this was done to hide from Magana's wife, the quote "thousands of calls" going to other women. Lane also points to Magana's police notebook, which contains some of the alleged victims names and phone numbers. And, a woman's sweat pants, stained with semen, that the prosecution claims, can be linked to Magana.

Extorting sex with a badge August 2006 Nancy Phillips and Craig R. McCoy, Inquirer Staff Writers http://www.philly.com/philly/news/special_packages/inquirer/Extorting_sex_with_a_badge.html#SLfVss1TfR4jHJuM.99

Philadelphia Police Officer James Fallon spent many midnight shifts on patrol - not for crime, but for sex. His partner, Timothy Carre, says he tried to warn their bosses, but nobody paid attention - not until the night Fallon and Carre stopped a stripper getting off her shift, forced her into their patrol car and, she says, took turns raping her in the darkness near I-95. The officers are now off the force, convicted of sex crimes, but the city is still confronting the consequences of that 2002 attack. Investigators found a string of other women who say they were victimized by the pair, and a lawsuit filed by the dancer recently brought to light dozens of other accusations of sexual misconduct involving Philadelphia police from 1992 to 2002. The department dismissed most as groundless, or unprovable. In another, still-open case obtained by The Inquirer, the department allowed an investigation into a complaint of a forced sexual display in a police lockup to languish for years. No one has been disciplined.

Rapist Philadelphia Police Officer James Fallon and his partner Timothy Carreextorting prostitutes with a badge

Philadelphia isn't unusual. Hundreds of police officers across the country have turned from protectors to predators, using the power of their badge to extort sex, an Inquirer review shows. Many of those cases fit a chilling pattern: Once abusers cross the line, they attack again and again before they are caught. Often, departments miss warning signs about the behavior.

Though the number of abusive officers in any one department is usually small, the damage they leave behind is often devastating - to their victims, to taxpayers and to the reputations of their colleagues. The Inquirer found nearly 400 reports of police sexual misconduct across the country in the last five years, including dozens in the Philadelphia region: In Baltimore last month, a detective was suspended after a 16-year-old girl picked up for prostitution said he assaulted her at a police station. Three other Baltimore officers allegedly raped a woman in a station house in December, and are facing criminal charges.

READ MORE ABOUT THESE TWO RAPIST COPS WHO DID NOT GO TO PRISON HERE: “Their guilty pleas ensure that they will not get their jobs back, and they hold the officers accountable for their actions. This begins the healing process for the victim.” Each officer was immediately sentenced to four years reporting probation. They will be evaluated by the probation department and will be required to comply with the recommendations of the probation department.

Most police departments do little to identify the offenders, and even less to stop them. Unlike other types of police misconduct, the abuse of police power to coerce sex is little addressed in training, and rarely tracked by police disciplinary systems. This official neglect makes it easier for predators to escape punishment and find new victims. Lawyers for Philadelphia's 7,000-member department say in court papers that sexual-misconduct complaints are "extremely rare" and that commanders move swiftly to discipline offenders.

Ex-officer sentenced to year in jail: Forced prostitute to perform sex March 14, 2007 “In an emotional appeal to a federal judge yesterday, former Boston police officer Michael LoPriore said he was "not a bad person" and was depressed over his divorce and bankruptcy when he flashed his badge and forced a prostitute to perform sex on him three years ago. "I wasn't thinking clearly," said LoPriore, 37, of Everett, urging the judge to place him on probation. "I hope you can give me a chance to lead a good life, like a normal human being, and just move forward." But US District Judge Douglas P. Woodlock sentenced LoPriore to a year in prison, saying he had violated the victim's rights and broken the public's trust by using his position as a police officer to commit a serious crime. He also ordered LoPriore to pay a $2,000 fine. The former officer was ordered to report to prison April 20. "When the government becomes the lawbreaker, we are all at risk," said Woodlock, calling the prosecution's recommendation that LoPriore spend a year behind bars both fair and just punishment.

As part of a plea agreement, he resigned from the force and agreed never to seek another job as a police officer in Massachusetts. [but what about other states? he could become an officer there, and do this to more prostitutes] Prosecutors said LoPriore spotted the 19-year-old prostitute with a customer in Boston in September 2004 while he was off duty, flashed his badge, and ordered her to get into his car. After driving the woman to Quincy, LoPriore forced her to perform sex on him or face arrest and then drove her back to Boston. The teenager, fearing that no one would believe her, took LoPriore's badge during the encounter and brought it to a lawyer, who contacted the FBI, according to the lawyer, John Swomley. The FBI secretly recorded telephone calls between the woman and LoPriore, who negotiated to try to get his badge back. Assistant US Attorney George Vien said the government believed that prison time was necessary for LoPriore, both to punish him and to deter other officers from doing the same thing...” http://www.boston.com/news/local/articles/2007/03/14/ex_officer_sentenced_to_year_in_jail/

LONG BEACH : Officer Gets Probation in Sexual Battery Case Metropolitan Digest / LOS ANGELES COUNTY NEWS IN BRIEF January 18, 1995

A Long Beach police officer who admitted forcing a prostitute to have sex with him in his patrol car was sentenced Tuesday to five years of probation. In addition, Superior Court Judge Michael Tynan ordered Bryon Ellsberry to perform 1,500 hours of community service on a Caltrans work crew and to pay a $1,000 fine.

At a preliminary hearing last spring, a self-described prostitute testified that Ellsberry picked her up on a Long Beach street corner and threatened to arrest her if she didn't "barter" with him. The woman said she interpreted the uniformed officer's statement to mean that she must perform sexual acts or she would go to jail. The officer was caught in an undercover operation after the March 1 incident. Internal affairs officers set up a "sting," wiring the woman with an electronic device. Ellsberry again threatened her if she did not comply with his sexual demands and he was arrested, according to testimony.

Murdoch presides over the criminal division for the 2nd Judicial Circuit Court and is a well known and respected judge who has been serving for 26 years.” In 2010, Judge Murdoch sentenced Albuquerque Police Officer David Maes to probation after Officer Maes was convicted of raping a prostitute. The judge felt that sentencing a police officer to prison was too harsh a punishment., Besides the victim was ONLY a prostitute... no big deal!

“One of his most high-profile cases was the 2010 Desert Divas case, regarding a prostitution ring. He ultimately suppressed the prostitution ring's client list. [Perhaps because his name was on the list??????]

Murdoch has also made rulings in numerous prostitution and rape cases and Albuquerque Police Department Commander Doug West said there is a "good possibility" that the judge's arrest "has the potential to put all the cases in jeopardy." “

(2009) Judge Michael Hecht guilty of harassment, paying for sex A jury has found a Pierce County Superior Court judge guilty of felony harassment and patronizing a prostitute, a conviction that he called "absolutely a setup."

A jury has found a Pierce County Superior Court judge guilty of felony harassment and patronizing a prostitute, a conviction that he called "absolutely a setup." Judge Michael Hecht had been accused of paying one man for sex and threatening to kill another man who talked about having sex with him... Assistant Attorney General John Hillman contended that Hecht bought sex from one young man on multiple occasions in 2008 and 2009 and threatened to kill another who last summer was telling people about his alleged previous sexual relationship with Hecht...

And his sentence? Former Pierce County Superior Court Judge Michael Hecht, convicted last month of felony harassment and patronizing a prostitute, was sentenced this afternoon to 240 hours of community service and “John School.”

Before being sentenced, Hecht told Judge Cayce that he had suffered greatly as a result of the allegations against him and his conviction. Hecht said he lost his job, and that his reputation had been tarnished. “I’m a broken man,” Hecht said... Assistant state attorney general John Hillman argued today that Hecht should serve 90 days in jail for his crimes. Hecht has taken no responsibility for his actions nor shown any remorse, Hillman said. Hecht’s attorney, Wayne Fricke, told Cayce that the former judge has suffered enough with the loss of his job and his reputation. Jail time would serve no purpose, Fricke said. www.iswface.org

Perhaps ‘recruiting informants’ was what Runnemede NJ Police Chief James Leason had in mind during his 105 visits to the brothel...

“The longtime chief of the Runnemede Police Department was among those caught in a prostitution sting... at a Maple Shade brothel, police said. James Martin Leason, 56, was arrested... as he left an apartment at the Arbors Apartments on South Lenola Road... Also arrested... were the brothel's madam, two prostitutes and two others. Leason was charged with misconduct in office and promoting prostitution. The officers who arrested Chief Leason said the chief was a repeat customer -- 105 times to be exact... most of the attention to this case was focused on Chief Leason who has been the police chief in Runnemede since 1987. Chief Leason, who was charged with misconduct in office and promoting prostitution, was suspended without pay after posting $5,000 and being released on his own recognizance. ''The mayor and Council are shocked and deeply disappointed by Chief Leason's arrest,'' the Runnemede solicitor, Michael P. Albana, said in a written statement. 'However, the safety of the residents will not be affected by this incident.' Combined, the charges carry a maximum of 15 years in prison and $165,000 in fines.” How many years had the chief been involved with the madam and her prostitutes? Had he been helping her avoid detection all those years? What was the outcome? “Leason agreed to pay the maximum $15,000 fine as well as $3,500 in restitution to Runnemede as part of a plea agreement with the Burlington County Prosecutor's Office. In return, a second charge of promoting prostitution was dropped... After his arrest at the brothel, Leason was suspended, and then he retired (with pay) with 31 years of law enforcement service.”

During the conversation, Ramsey acknowledged, he encouraged the woman to continue working as a prostitute.

Ramsey was a police chief for seven years, retiring in 1998. He had faced up to five years in prison and more than $15,000 in fines for promoting prostitution. Under the plea deal, he faces up to five years on probation when he is sentenced July 1.

A jury Tuesday convicted Officer Hollins of the attempted aggravated rape and second-degree kidnapping of a Mississippi woman that he and his partner detained in Central City in 2009. Prosecutors said Officer Hollis unjustly held the woman, and when his partner left his shift early, Officer Hollins took her to a dark warehouse and assaulted her. The woman testified that Officer Hollins raped her, with his gun and taser at arm's length. Another woman testified that Officer Hollins arrested her in May 2009 for traffic violations. But instead of taking her directly to jail, as he was supposed to do, he drove her around town in the back of his police cruiser, insinuating that she could barter sex for freedom.

2012 Mo. officer accused of trading no arrest for sex July 12, 2012 “KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A Kansas City police officer has been charged with corruption after prosecutors accused him of having sex with two women in exchange for not arresting them... One woman told police she was working as a prostitute, and the other said she had outstanding warrants and marijuana in her motel room when she met Jeffrey Holmes. Prosecutors say Holmes, 47, accepted sex from the women in return for not arresting them during alleged incidents in March and April.

July 12, 2012 “KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) Officer Jeffrey Holmes, 47, allegedly visited a motel in March to meet with a prostitute he found online, according to KCTV. The woman, identified as "CC," told investigators that once the pair reached the room, Holmes, who was wearing his police uniform told her she was "busted for prostitution" and attempted to handcuff her. CC, thinking Holmes was a security guard, called the front desk for help. When the clerk arrived, however, Holmes simply told him that he was arresting a prostitute. When the clerk left the room, Holmes allegedly began touching CC, told her that he had no money, and lowered his pants. She interpreted this as a request for free sex, and, fearing Holmes would take her to jail otherwise, complied, KMBC reports. No arrest was made. CC reported the incident as rape in mid-April. Once the investigation began, a second woman, identified by KCTV as "JL," came forward to report a similar incident.

When she said no, he allegedly forced her to take him back to her motel room, then

2013 Ex-Lowell police officer gets

two years in jail for extorting prostitutes

By Lisa Redmond, [email protected]

04/25/2013 LOWELL -- A former Lowell police officer has been sentenced to two years in jail after pleading guilty to using the power of his badge to extort and solicit sexual favors from prostitutes while he was on and off duty. In Lowell Superior Court on Wednesday, Aravanh Lakmany, 32, of Dracut, pleaded guilty to charges of extortion by threat and three counts of solicitation of prostitutes. The Middlesex District Attorney's Office dropped three counts of rape against Lakmany. Judge Richard Tucker sentenced Lakmany to two years in the Middlesex House of Correction followed by three years probation. A former six-year veteran of the Lowell Police Department, Lakmany was suspended without pay in June 2011 after his indictment. He resigned from the department on Nov. 24, 2011.

"It's a very unfortunate situation and I'm glad to see the matter has been resolved today with the court action," Friedl said. In a taped confession, Aravanh Lakmany allegedly admitted that he had sex with prostitutes about 20 times while on duty in his cruiser and numerous other times in his personal car, but denied it was rape, according to court documents. Lakmany allegedly told his fellow officers he felt no one could "touch" him because he is a police officer, prosecutor Thomas O'Reilly stated in court documents that the Lowell Police Department received information last year that Lakmany had been involved with a number of prostitutes while on duty. A number of women were interviewed, and four of those testified before a grand jury that Lakmany had allegedly solicited sex from them between 2010 and 2011. O'Reilly alleges that Lakmany approached the women, would have them sit in the back seat of the cruiser and then drive to an isolated area in the city where they would engage in oral sex. Three of the women said Lakmany paid them, but two women allege that he forced them to have sex, according to court documents. The first woman alleges that in 2009 or early 2010, she met Lakmany while she was "working." He was allegedly in his personal vehicle and identified himself as a police officer by displaying his badge, O'Reilly stated. Lakmany allegedly told the woman he knew she had outstanding warrants for her arrest and that if she did what he wanted he would not arrest her, according to court documents. In exchange for a sexual favor, he allegedly indicated she could "work" in his area and he would never arrest her.

VICE SQUAD CONFIDENTIAL CHILE ACUNA, DECEMBER 1930-FEBRUARY 1931 CHAPTER 71 BY JAY MAEDER / NEW YORK DAILY NEWS THURSDAY, APRIL 27, 2000, 12:00 AM

NYPD Vice Squad 1930s- NOTHING HAS CHANGED

SUPREME COURT JUSTICE Joseph Force Crater remained very much missing in the final weeks of 1930, and Judge Samuel Seabury's corruption probe remained very actively a nettling nuisance to city officialdom, when 31-year-old Chile Mapocha Acuna, a stool pigeon by trade, came forward to rat out a pack of cops who had double-crossed him. Had he ever once pretended to noble idealism, his story would have rung less true; instead, plainly just a lowlife with an ax to grind, he made a thoroughly credible witness. Overnight, the little weasel ignited the worst police scandals in more than 30 years. Police Commissioner Edward Mulrooney sat ashen and aghast as the details spilled out. Even Mayor Jimmy Walker, for once, refrained from cracking wise. It was not only that city magistrates were buying their seats,

accepting automobiles and other gifts, doing private business with the lawyers and bondsmen who came before them. The courts were in open cahoots with vice detectives, Acuna said, shaking down prostitutes and sending them to prison if they didn't pay up. Often the women weren't even professionals; he had, he confessed, helped cops frame dozens of innocents just to keep the arrest numbers up. Alas for the cops, Acuna had a sharp memory. Names, dates, chapters, verses. His yarn

" In open court, Chile Acuna reviewed 70 lined-up officers and pointed out more than two dozen as men with whom he had worked the predatory racket. All were suspended at once, as Seabury's staff meanwhile began freeing victimized women from the Bedford reformatory. By Christmas, six of them, personally pardoned by "deeply disturbed and greatly incensed" Gov. Franklin Roosevelt, were ready to testify. At the same time, court records were corroborating Acuna's revelations - and now a disgraced former assistant district attorney named John Weston admitted that he'd been on the take as well, routinely accepting payoffs to fix cases or, conversely, to railroad defendants against whom there was no evidence but a detective's word. Increasingly, attention turned to the imperious grand dame of the city's Women's Court, Magistrate Jean Norris, nationally hailed as a leading authority on the rehabilitation of fallen lasses. Early in January 1931, as Seabury's bulldogs began growling at her door, Norris decided to take a sabbatical and sail for Europe. THE HOLIDAY WAS blocked, and a very indignant Norris was hauled before Seabury to answer questions, even as more and more women came forward with more and more accusations and charges were brought against more and more vice cops - quite a number of whom decided to put in for retirement. The magistrate's business practices were the least of her difficulties. It happened that she owned much stock in a bonding company that did a rushing business in her court, but she steadfastly refused to concede any impropriety, and Seabury didn't trouble to press the matter very hard. Considerably more damaging were court files related to one of the dubious vice cases in question. The defendant in that case, alone among the vice squad's catches, had appealed her conviction to a higher court - and, as Seabury fast demonstrated, patiently going over them line by line, the transcripts Norris had supplied to that court had been extensively doctored. Norris insisted she had merely edited the documents. But in all cases, the changes made her look good. At one point, according to the original transcript, she had said to a lawyer: "You know what to do. Plead her guilty and tell her to throw herself on

VICE SQUAD CONFIDENTIAL CHILE ACUNA, DECEMBER 1930-FEBRUARY 1931 CHAPTER 71 continued... " Altered, this line now read: "What is it, counsel? Do you wish to plead her guilty and throw herself on the mercy of the court? " Other words she had uttered - "It's too late! " "I won't have any more witnesses! " "Next case! Step aside!

" "No, I certainly don't think so," Norris snapped. For all her fumings and sputterings, tampering with court records was not something Norris could get around. By mid-February, she was facing ouster and disbarment. MEANWHILE, CITY HALL had failed in its attempts to turn down the heat. Efforts to discredit Acuna had gone nowhere. At one point, Corporation Counsel Arthur Hilly had mounted a feeble argument that the entire Seabury probe was illegal and unconstitutional, but Roosevelt had laughed him down. Now, over District Attorney Thomas Crain's observable unwillingness to prosecute, two Tenderloin vice squad plainclothesmen, Leigh Halpern and Daniel Sullivan, were coming to trial on perjury charges. Several women they had sent to Bedford were among the witnesses against them. So was a glamorous "Vanities" showgirl named Georgia Gray, whose husband, one Harry Gibson, was, like Acuna, a confessed vice squad accomplice. Halpern's defense rested chiefly on his sworn testimony that he had never laid eyes on Gibson. Gray, of course, had seen the two of them together many times, and she so testified. On Friday the 20th of February, Crain's jury acquitted Halpern - and Gray went to jail, held as a material witness for the upcoming Sullivan trial. Many of the other women began dropping out of the picture. "What's the use? " sighed one. "You can't beat this lousy game. I'm leaving town. " By now, the suspended cops numbered more than 40. But there was some rumbling concern that there wouldn't be a lot of witnesses against them. Seabury was unruffled. It happened that he had an ace card - a tough Broadway moll who knew everything there was to know about the vice squad cops and their political higherups and who was prepared to blow the town apart with spectacular disclosures. She had talked to Seabury once already. She would go public in another few days. Her name was Vivian Gordon.

Cops Extort Prostitutes NYPD 1998 - NOTHING HAS CHANGED

19 Officers Accused of Allowing N.Y. Brothel in Exchange for Sex July 18, 1998| From Associated Press NEW YORK — Nineteen police officers in the precinct that covers Times Square have been accused of having sex with prostitutes in return for allowing a brothel to stay open, a practice authorities say may date back 15 years. The accusations are embarrassing to Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani, who has sold New York as a tourist-friendly place where a smutty Times Square and graffiti-smeared subways have given way to Mickey Mouse on 42nd Street and cheery, cookie-cutter eateries. Police Commissioner Howard Safir said 19 police officers, one sergeant, one lieutenant and the top two commanders from the precinct have been disciplined so far. Only the 19 officers are under suspicion of having sex with prostitutes. Was Giuliani galled that the illegal sex was taking place near Times Square, the spot he has portrayed as a gleaming symbol for a new New York?

The department's Internal Affairs Bureau and the Manhattan district attorney's office began investigating 400 officers assigned to the precinct based on tips from prostitutes. The officers are also accused of using an apartment to sleep on the job.

Another article from that scandal says that “No charges have been filed and none of the officers has been suspended....”

LAPD Officers Luis Valenzuela, James Nichols Accused Of Forcing Women To Have Sex January 4, 2013

Two veterans of the Los Angeles Police Department are being investigated over accusations that the pair demanded sex from women by threatening them with jail time. Officers Luis Valenzuela, who's been with the LAPD for 15 years, and James Nichols , a 12-year veteran, are on paid leave while internal affairs detectives look into the claims. Search warrants first obtained by the Los Angeles Times indicate that the 4 alleged victims were either arrested previously or were working as police informants. The document also states that the cops would drive women to secluded areas; one officer would demand sex while the other kept watch, reports the Times. On ABC7, LAPD Commander Andrew Smith read aloud a statement from Chief Charlie Beck about the investigation:

Valenzuela and Nichols are not under arrest and they have not been charged with a crime. The LAPD had planned to confront the pair early next week, but a pending lawsuit from one of the alleged victims forced internal affairs detectives to approach the two officers sooner for fear that they would destroy electronic evidence.

The first victim approached police with accusations in January 2010. Go to the Los Angeles Times to

2000 Ex-New Jersey Police Chief Who Ran a Corrupt Force Is Sentenced and Fined By IVER PETERSON

Published: January 06, 2000 The former police chief of West

New York, N.J., who pursued a second career as a bribe taker and protection racketeer for decades while on the force, was sentenced today to four years in federal prison and fined $50,000. The court ruled that the former chief, Alexander V. Oriente, had personally presided over a corrupt operation that resulted in $2.5 million to $5 million in bribes and kickbacks from gamblers and pimps. Mr. Oriente had pleaded guilty to two charges of racketeering and tax evasion. The sentence today was the second handed down by District Court Judge Jerome B. Simandle as a result of a federal investigation into official corruption in West New York, and the most severe. So far, 29 people, most of them West New York police officers, have been

May 12, 2008- (Spain) POLICE CHIEF JAILED IN CORRUPTION SCANDAL What has been described as the biggest case of police corruption in Spain’s history began to unravel in Coslada on the outskirts of Madrid last week, with the arrest of the chief of the Local Police and 25 agents on charges of blackmail, threatening

behaviour, complicity with the Rumanian mafia and physical attacks on citizens. The arrests followed a threemonth investigation of a prostitution network run from Rumania. When Madrid’s Judicial Police started questioning the Rumanian prostitutes they began to talk about the police in Coslada who, the women said, forced them to give free sex and also threatened to deport them if they did not give them a cut of their takings. The

investigating police began to tap telephones and discovered that the Local Police were also visiting bars and restaurants in the area to demand money “if they wanted to stay open” or to put tables and chairs out on the pavement in the summer. The man behind it all is alleged to be police chief Gines Jimenez Buendia, who joined the Coslada police force in 1986, after leaving his native Murcia. Having studied journalism, Gines maintained excellent relations with the Madrid press, which failed to dig deeper behind his “hail fellow well met” façade. However, he didn’t fool the local people, who said last week that his corrupt practices had been an open secret for years. Several had tried to report him to the authorities, at the risk of serious injury. Now referred to in the press as the “sheriff”, the local people told reporters last week that his men patrolled the streets as if they owned them which, in effect, they did. They ate and drank for free, and availed themselves of the prostitutes’ services whenever they pleased, often organising orgies. They even used their mobiles to film the beatings they inflicted on anyone they deemed as deserving them. Although Genes is being held in jail, several of his men have been released on charges, including some of those featuring in the filmed beatings. The police said many bar and restaurant owners were not coming forward with their side of the story for fear of reprisals but the presence of the national media in Coslada has emboldened many of the locals, who are enjoying being in the limelight as they gradually reveal all the sordid details of the sheriff’s dirty dealings. www.iswface.org

Detectives charged Officer Michael Johns, 43, a 16-year veteran of the police bureau, with crimes including promoting prostitution, drug possession and delivery, conspiracy, obstruction of justice, insurance fraud and filing false reports to law enforcement. Police linked online ads for prostitution to Officer Johns, who would provide the women with cell phones and rental cars "to travel and do shows and deals," according to a criminal complaint.

Formerly an officer in the city's Hill District station, Officer Johns was transferred into the warrant office soon after the county's investigation began. His status with the police bureau was unclear Monday night, when he was arraigned and released on his own recognizance.

Mr. Oravetz, who also faces prostitution charges, had been driving a woman to a man's house for a "sexual performance," the complaint says. He told police the car had been rented by the woman's "boyfriend," Officer Johns; police found Officer Johns' police identification card in the woman's purse. The woman, identified in an online sex ad as "Gabby," told police that she is an exotic dancer and performer who met Officer Johns three years ago while he was working an off-duty detail in uniform at a South Side nightclub.

A jury did find him guilty of attempted insurance fraud, possession with intent to deliver heroin, obstruction, official oppression and making false reports... Johns was arrested in August 2011 after investigators said he paid for rental cars for the women, helped them obtain drugs and allowed them to use his home computer to post online ads.

Sheriff deputy arrested for prostitution deal Posted by Leslie Newell Peacock on Fri, Jun 14, 2013 at 12:21 PM A Garland County sheriff's deputy was arrested last night on a federal warrant for enticing an individual to engage in prostitution, the U.S. Attorney Conner Eldridge and the FBI just announced. The charge says Cpl. Neil Parliament "arranged for and facilitated the travel of a prostitute working out of Memphis to come to Hot Springs for the purposes of exchanging sexual activity for money" from January to June this year. The warrant alleges that Parliament used the prostitute himself and also arranged

meetings for others.

Pimp Cop Cpl. Neil Parliament

Hot Springs, Arkansas - Conner Eldridge, United States Attorney for the Western District of Arkansas, and Randall C. Coleman, FBI Special Agent in Charge, announced that Garland County Sheriff’s Deputy Neil Parliment was arrested yesterday, June 13, on a federal warrant for enticing an individual to engage in prostitution. Parliment is a marine patrol officer with the Garland County Sheriff’s office. United States Attorney Eldridge commented, “As stated in the complaint, this case involves serious allegations of activity by a sheriff’s deputy involving prostitution. This case indicates that we will investigate and prosecute such criminal activity, including when those in positions of public trust violate that trust by engaging in criminal activity.” “Last night's arrest is a result of the dedicated efforts of our Denied Innocence Task Force,” stated Agent Coleman. “The charge against the officer in this case—involving enticing a person across state lines for prostitution—is a serious one that our task force is committed to aggressively investigating.” As charged in the complaint, from January to June of 2013, Parliment arranged for and facilitated the travel of a prostitute working out of Memphis to come to Hot Springs for the purposes of exchanging sexual activity for money. Over the course of the investigation, it was discovered that Parliament had not only engaged the services of the prostitute himself but also facilitated meetings and introductions between the prostitute and others for sexual activity. If convicted, Parliament faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison. This case was investigated by the FBI Denied Innocence Task Force. Assistant United States Attorney Dustin Roberts is prosecuting the case for the United States. The charges in a complaint are only allegations. A person is presumed innocent unless or until he or she is proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.

2011 Former (CA) state drug agent Norman Wielsch and other law enforcement officers steal from prostitutes and run prostitution ring “PLEASANT HILL (CA)-The former commander of a law enforcement task force in Contra Costa County robbed prostitutes whose operations were competing with his own brothel in Pleasant Hill, his co-defendant in a drug theft case told investigators... The former commander, ex-state Department of Justice agent Norman Wielsch, said prostitutes and drug dealers deserved to have their money stolen, said Christopher Butler, a private eye in Concord and Wielsch's former colleague on the Antioch police force.

In 2012, Butler admitted to conspiring with Wielsch to establish the Pleasant Hill brothel, and to collecting more than $10,000 from the business that allegedly went to Wielsch in exchange for protection for the operation from law enforcement. Butler's sentencing is set for Sept. 11, 2012 and prosecutors would not say what term they would recommend. The drug charge against him carries a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years and a maximum of life. Wielsch, 51, has pleaded not guilty to similar charges and remains free on bail. Tanabe, who is no longer a sheriff's deputy, has also pleaded not guilty.” http://www.sfgate.com/crime/article/Key-figure-in-dirty-DUI-stings-pleads-guilty-3535440.php#ixzz25FMOZhPs

When the Feds took over the case, the case no longer included the prostitution ring and prostitute extortion charges. In another case involving government employees, “Treasury Department officials have been cited for violations including hiring prostitutes with government computers ... the case was referred for criminal prosecution to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia, which opted not to prosecute because

there were no "aggravating circumstances” like underage girls involved.” http://articles.nydailynews.com/2012-07-16/news/32701775_1_employee-treasury-s-office-violations

In a 34-page narrative that he wrote for investigators detailing his alleged criminal exploits and obtained by The Chronicle, Butler also said a woman accused of prostitution had told him that she had sex with Wielsch in exchange for having charges against her reduced. In 2009, at Wielsch's suggestion, the woman helped the task force commander and private eye set up a massage parlor on Gregory Lane in Pleasant Hill that fronted for a brothel, Butler said.”

Cops Pimp/ Hire Prostitutes

In April 1984, some San Francisco vice cops decided to hire a prostitute whom they knew, to perform oral sex on handcuffed police cadet. The graduation party for the 156th graduating class was held at the Rothskeller Restaurant. Unfortunately for the cops, someone in the audience did not appreciate the ‘prank’ and ratted them out. For any other Californian, ‘hiring a prostitute‘ for one’s self is a misdemeanor, but to hire a prostitute for someone else is felony pandering [the crime is “encouraging a person to commit an act of prostitution, regardless of whether or not the person is already a prostitute]. In 1984, it carried a mandatory three to six year prison sentence on the first offense, with no prior record. I know this because I was arrested, prosecuted and sentenced to three years in prison for trying to fulfill the fantasy of my former colleague on the LAPD (where I had worked for 10 years prior to becoming a call girl). - My ‘friend Penny- a then 50 year old, 6’2” nearly 300 lb woman- expressed a fantasy of being a call girl as I had become, after I left a very corrupt department in disgust and decided to write a book about the corruption- and about my career move upward. Knowing that many cops had personal relationships with prostitutes, I was not in the least bit worried about helping Penny fulfill her fantasy. After all, two cops I worked with in Hollywood tried to hire me to be the going away present for a retiring captain- at his request. They offered me $200. That was before I left to become a call girl. The ‘date’ I had arranged for Penny never took place. The only crime I had committed was having a conversation with her in which she asked if there was money involved- I said yes (I had agreed to give my client the money to pay her with because Penny was so unattractive). She asked about sex, I told her that it would be nothing that she hadn’t experienced in a normal adult relationship. For having a conversation with her, I was charged with one count of pandering and arrested in September 1983- a mere eight months before the San Francisco incident. Because my arrest and prosecution was based on the discovery that I was writing a book to expose the corruption, I was to be made an example for others, to discourage anyone else from exposing the ‘blue mafia.’

Perhaps this is why cops who rape and extort prostitutes are seldom punished or even fired... because they aren’t doing it for money. It is just considered a minor infraction - not worthy of destroying the career of an otherwise ‘good officer’

But what can explain the fact that in cases where cops or police chiefs or judges are the pimps and panderers, they are also either not punished at all or receive very minimal sentences? www.iswface.org

169

COPS PIMP/ HIRE PROSTITUTES

The cops in San Francisco were not indicted for their crime of pandering- a felony. The prostitute was arrested because she testified against them during the indictment process, after which she received death threats. Thereafter, she refused to testify at trial, so without the ‘victim’ to testify against them, the prosecutor had no case.

2012 Memphis police officer arrested on sex trafficking charge Investigation of MPD patrolman began in '11 By Jody Callahan, Memphis Commercial Apppeal Posted September 18, 2012

A Memphis Police Department patrolman was charged Monday in a case involving prostitution and sex trafficking, becoming the latest in a long string of local law-enforcement officers accused of criminal behavior. Sean McWhirter, 30, was charged with transportation of women in interstate commerce for prostitution. He was arrested Sunday and has been released on $10,000 bail. McWhirter, who joined the force in July 2007, has been relieved of duty with pay. The officer, who has been suspended by MPD for past violations, works out of the Union Station precinct. Since 2003, more than 40 officers and civilian employees of the Memphis Police Department have been indicted Pimp Cop Sean McWhirter on a variety of charges, including robbery, extortion and drug conspiracy. "You would think that by now, the message is clear: Nobody is exempt (from obeying the law)," MPD Director Toney Armstrong said. "Even excluding anything he's done in the past, this alone sets him so far apart from what a police officer is supposed to do. There's just no excuse for it." According to a press release from the U.S. Attorney's Office, McWhirter shuttled women between Memphis and Tunica for prostitution. An FBI criminal complaint of McWhirter's alleged acts reads like a lurid paperback, and paints the officer as a pimp running a small prostitution ring. The investigation began in May 2011, when an informant told the FBI McWhirter frequented clubs known for drug use and prostitution.

Over the course of the next few months, the informant asked McWhirter several times if he could procure two or three women for a party planned for Tunica. It was made clear that the women would need to perform sex acts. McWhirter eventually said it would cost $50 for each girl, but that one woman might not take part because she was his girlfriend. He expected that the other two would be willing, because, "them ho's are going to get what they get." Last Thursday, the informant paid $120 upfront for the women, then was told that he would need at least $20 more for each one. The deal was struck, and around 11 p.m. Sunday, McWhirter arrived at a Tunica hotel, two hours late for the "party." When McWhirter walked into the room, FBI agents arrested him. A search revealed that McWhirter was carrying his MPD-issued service weapon. If convicted, McWhirter faces up to 10 years in federal prison and a fine of no more than $250,000.

$10,000 bail? For violating the MANN ACT? When the bail for NON law enforcement ‘pimps/ madams’ is set at $2,000,000? www.iswface.org

2012 (Connecticut) State trooper and husband accused of running prostitution ring June 1, 2012 “A former Connecticut state trooper and her husband were arrested Thursday on charges of running a prostitution ring... NBC Connecticut obtained court documents that showed Pearl Kelly-Paris was running the illegal business with her husband, Jaykuan Paris, while still on the force. The State Police Statewide Organized Crime Investigative Task Force began an investigation 11 months ago after receiving information from federal authorities regarding possible prostitution activities in Connecticut. Kelly-Paris, 43, of New Britain, retired from the State Police in 2010, before the prostitution investigation began, according to Lt. Paul Vance. She had also worked as a state correction officer, Vance said.

One of the alleged prostitutes reportedly said she saw Kelly-Paris drive up in a police cruiser wearing her uniform and met up with her husband, then gave him a digital camera. That woman alleged he then took pictures of the girls working for him to post prostitution ads on Craigslist. “A state trooper is supposed to protect the place...not bring that kind of trash in,” Thomas said... In the arrest warrant, the alleged prostitute told investigators Kelly-Paris would take the “dates” if customers were interested in someone older, and the workers were instructed to call her if someone made the request... http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2012/06/01/12009319-state-trooper-and-husband-accused-of-running-prostitution-ring? threadId=3433015&commentId=66704101#c66704101

2010 Former Erie County Sheriff's Deputy Pleads Guilty in Connection with Jester Prostitution Case November 19, 2010 “BUFFALO, NY—U.S. Attorney William J. Hochul, Jr. announced today that Michael Lesinski, 50, of Derby, New York, pleaded guilty plea before Chief United States District Judge William M. Skretny to misprision of a felony. The charge carries a maximum penalty of three years in prison, a $250,000 fine or both. Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert C. Moscati, who is handling the case, stated that Lesinski admitted to transporting women in April, 2005 from the Buffalo airport to a hotel in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada, where the Royal Order of Jesters was holding its national convention.

While there, the women engaged in sex acts with members of the Jesters in exchange for money. Lesinski also admitted knowing about the prostitution but lying to U.S. Custom’s officials about the purpose of his visit when returning to the United States. Lesinski was an Erie County Sheriff’s Deputy at the time.“ http://www.fbi.gov/buffalo/press-releases/2010/bffo111910.htm

Assistant U.S. Attorney John Rogowski said, "Judge Skretny imposed that sentence, and his judgement I think was certainly fair and appropriate sentence in this case." Tills had been the local head of a fraternal group called the Royal Order of Jesters, and had admitted lining up prostitutes for group functions. He had pleaded guilty to transporting an illegal alien from Hamburg to Kentucky to provide sexual services... Judge Skretny noted that the former judge had sex with a woman who once appeared before Tills while he was on the bench. http://www.wivb.com/dpp/news/Former_judge_sentenced_to_prison_time_20090807

2012 NYPD cop accused of pimping after salacious phone-tap tells Daily News 'I'm not a pimp' January 29, 2012 “An NYPD cop was targeted in an X-rated probe starring an alluring “hooker” named Candy, the Daily News has learned. “You looking for a daddy?” Officer Monty Green asked Candy, who was actually an undercover cop, in one of several secretly recorded conversations between the two. In another graphic exchange, Candy asked how their possible pimping arrangement would work. “So if I go in these clubs and have sex or give (oral sex) I’ll come out and you gonna be there or you gonna be with me, how’s it gonna work?” Candy inquired, according to a transcript. “Sometimes I’ll be in there, other times I’ll be outside waiting,” Green said. “And then how much do you get?” she said. “Depends on how well you did,” Green replied.

Green, a married father,

has not been charged with a crime. Brooklyn prosecutors cited a lack of evidence, adding that the alleged hookers were afraid to testify against the cop, law enforcement sources said.

1991 Ex-Police Officer Convicted of Operating Prostitution Ring November 26, 1991|From a Times Staff Writer

SANTA ANA — A former police officer was convicted Monday of running a prostitution ring, disguised as an escort service, that catered to Orange County customers. Charles Gerald Jiles, 38, of Upland was found guilty by an Orange County Superior Court jury on 12 counts of pimping, pandering and conspiracy. During a three-week trial, jurors heard testimony about sexual encounters between hundreds of clients and several dozen "escorts" at hotels and houses in Orange County and elsewhere in the Southland. "It was a very active operation for Orange County," said Deputy Dist. Atty. James Mulgrew, who prosecuted the case. "I'm very pleased with the verdict." Jiles, who had worked for eight years as a patrol officer with the Upland and Claremont police departments, faces a maximum sentence of 13 years in prison at his Jan. 6 sentencing, Mulgrew said. Jiles also faces a second trial, scheduled to begin Dec. 2, on charges that he started another escort-prostitution service while out on bail after his arrest. Jiles took the witness stand and maintained that his employees were private contractors who were not told what to do on their dates.

But the jurors, after deliberating for less than two days, said they did not believe him.

Source tells 10News sheriff's deputy busted in prostitution sting likely won't be fired Deputy Stuart Rea received probation, fine June 11, 2013

by Dan Haggerty

SAN DIEGO - 10News has learned that a local sheriff's deputy busted in a prostitution sting will most likely not be fired. Deputy Stuart Rea is a pilot for the department's ASTREA helicopter. He has been on the force since 1991. In January, he was busted soliciting who he thought was a prostitute. He arranged the meeting on Craigslist with an undercover police officer. When he met the woman at a Howard Johnson hotel, she recognized him right away, but he did not recognize her. It turns out he actually trained her at the academy. Last week, Rea showed some paperwork of his own, proving that he completed a prostitution impact panel course and an HIV education course. His charge was dropped to disturbing the peace. Through it all, Rea has never missed a county paycheck. He has been working a desk job instead of flying, but a source tells 10News that is about as strict as his punishment may get. 10News was told, internal affairs will now take a look at the case and determine if he can fly again, but odds are he will not be fired... Rea will receive three years probation and a fine of about $550.

It is very expensive to train helicopter pilots, and what a waste of taxpayer money to fire someone who only solicited a woman he thought was a prostitute... since she wasn’t actually a prostitute but was a fellow cop, then it is no big deal for him to have solicited her for commercial sex... After all, if a San Diego cop like Daniel Dana can actually RAPE a REAL prostitute and get probation, why should this outstanding helicopter pilot police officer get fired and lose that lucrative paycheck? It just wouldn’t be fair... now would it? www.iswface.org

Menlo Park cop caught with prostitute keeps job

January 15, 2013 Case sheds light on confidential police disciplinary process by Sandy Brundage Almanac Staff

Hearing a knock at the Motel 6 door, a prostitute wearing a black catsuit answered, $20 bills stashed in her cleavage. In the bathroom, Sunnyvale police officers found a veteran Menlo Park police detective wearing nothing. End of his career? Nope. Officer Jeffrey Vasquez, 48, returned to duty in the Menlo Park Police Department late last year, following an internal affairs investigation triggered by the bust. He had also been charged with misdemeanor solicitation by the Santa Clara County District Attorney. What internal sanctions he faced remains unknown; the state's confidentiality laws prevent discovery of penalties levied by his employer. Under California law, internal affairs investigations -- even the fact that an investigation has occurred -- are confidential personnel matters. So are complaints of misconduct and police disciplinary records.

Part of their discussion involved the city's binding arbitration policy, invoked when a police officer appeals a disciplinary penalty after failing to convince city management to reverse it. Apparently the city "lost royally" during arbitration, Mr. McIntyre said, forcing Menlo Park to reinstate the officer. The city manager said he told the council that paying the officer to leave instead of returning to work would be "a million dollar check." He expressed frustration that some members of the City Council wanted to discuss the matter publicly despite regulations prohibiting disclosure. Without naming Officer Vasquez, the city manager mentioned the officer's length of service and gender. Only two current officers matched the description; a painstaking search of employment data, police logs and court records led the Almanac to a Santa Clara County Superior Court file that detailed the case against the officer. "You overheard a conversation between two colleagues," Mr. McIntyre told the Almanac during an interview in January. He said he didn't remember precisely what he said at the Hub, and stated that it's not unusual for a city manager to consult his predecessor. Officer Vasquez told the Almanac he'd been ordered not to talk about it by the interim police chief. At an hourly rate of $52.40, his annual base wage is approximately $109,004. Should he retire at age 50 with at least 25 years of service, he'd receive 75 percent of his final salary as a pension; that increases to 90 percent if he retires after 30 years. Jeffrey Vasquez jeopardized his 24-year career with the Menlo Park Police Department when he went to the wrong place at the wrong time on Feb. 18, 2011.

COPS SOLICIT PROSTITUTES

But the investigation came to light anyway more than a year later. On Oct. 17, 2012, Menlo Park City Manager Alex McIntyre sat talking about city business with his predecessor, Glen Rojas, at a communal table near the bar at the Menlo Hub, a Menlo Park restaurant. Their conversation carried to an Almanac reporter sitting at the other end of the same table.

According to court documents, a Sunnyvale police officer acting on a tip was watching a motel room for signs of 32-year-old Natalia Ramirez, who had two outstanding bench warrants. He knocked on the door. Once inside, the officer asked Ms. Ramirez what was going on.

"She replied that it was what it looked like. I asked her if it was prostitution, she replied by saying yes," the police report stated. Her male companion did not reveal himself as a fellow law enforcement officer until a check of his driver's license alerted the Sunnyvale police that he was. Detective Vasquez was in Sunnyvale to serve a subpoena related to a Menlo Park sexual assault case, he told the officers, "and this was not the first time he had solicited a prostitute for sex," according to the filing. Upon learning that the target of the subpoena wouldn't be home until later, the report states the detective said, "I had an hour to kill" so he called "My Redbook," a site listing local escorts and their phone numbers. Ms. Ramirez confirmed that she advertised on Redbook and said that Detective Vasquez had called her, asking to come over later, according to the Sunnyvale police report. She didn't remember what name he had used. The Menlo Park police officer "admitted that he was there for sex" and that he had found her on Redbook. They hadn't engaged in sexual activity before Sunnyvale police arrived or discussed specific prices or services, according to the report. Asked why he didn't immediately identify himself as a police officer, Detective Vasquez reportedly responded, "I don't want to be a dick and ask for preferential treatment." Senior officers from Sunnyvale and Menlo Park arrived on the scene after a series of calls -- standard procedure when an incident involves a fellow officer, according to law enforcement sources. Capt. Carl Rushmeyer of Sunnyvale showed up, then Watch Commander Tim Brackett and Sgt. Matt Bacon of Internal Affairs, both from Menlo Park.

Charged with misdemeanor solicitation, Officer Vasquez hired Redwood City attorney William Rapoport to handle the case and pleaded not guilty in June 2011. A month later -- on July 11 -- the prosecution asked to dismiss the case. The problem? Prosecutors were notified the day of Ms. Ramirez's trial that the officer who had interviewed her was unavailable to testify. According to Deputy District Attorney Rob Baker, who supervised the case, the officer was caring for his wife as she endured a life-threatening medical crisis. A Sunnyvale officer confirmed the circumstances related to the dismissal to the Almanac and said his department had hoped the case could have gone forward. "I wanted to prosecute the case, that's the reason we charged it," Mr. Baker said. "But in light of the (misdemeanor) charges, we didn't feel it appropriate to force the cop to come to court when his wife was going through something that serious." Losing a key witness left the case against both Ms. Ramirez and Officer Vasquez dead in the water. "We couldn't prove the case against the cop because the (officer) who actually observed him in the room with the prostitute wasn't available," Mr. Baker said. The court would regard the confessions recorded in the police report as inadmissible hearsay, he explained, without the testimony of the officer who took the statement... His team looked for workaround strategies to no avail. They concluded that ultimately they weren't going to be able to use Ms. Ramirez's statement. "What's the jury going to think when the primary officer doesn't show up to testify? If I was to dismiss the case against her, his defense attorney would then know we couldn't prove the case against him," Mr. Baker said. A pre-trial conference for the charge against Officer Vasquez had been set for the same day as Ms. Ramirez's trial. In the end they asked the court to dismiss the case for lack of evidence. "With misdemeanors, you only get one bite at the apple. The case gets dismissed, and that's it," Mr. Baker said. "Had this been felony conduct, we could have dismissed and then refiled it."

COPS SOLICIT PROSTITUTES

Ms. Ramirez, who has a criminal record for drug possession and prostitution, was arrested on the bench warrants. The report noted that Sunnyvale police turned a "distraught" Detective Vasquez over to his Menlo Park colleagues and forwarded the case to the district attorney.

Cops Have Sex With Prostitutes On Duty and DO NOT GET FIRED

Police Sergeant Found Guilty of Lewd Conduct January 09, 1988|S ANTIAGO O'DONNELL | Times Staff Writer

A Los Angeles police sergeant participated in two acts of lewd conduct with a male prostitute and engaged in improper contacts with prostitutes on numerous occasions--all while on duty, a Board of Rights panel determined Friday. The three-member hearing board found Sgt. Emmanuel Valencia, 37, guilty of three charges of lewd conduct and recommended his

suspension without pay for six months--the Police Department's harshest penalty short of firing...

During the hearing, officials called on several admitted prostitutes, who alleged that at Valencia's request they had rubbed the sergeant's genitals while he was on duty and in uniform, said Deputy Chief William Rathburn, a member of the Board of Rights. They also introduced tape recordings made by a prostitute. Valencia was found guilty of participating "in an act of lewd (conduct), while on duty and in uniform, with Jose Jimenez" on March 16 and again on May 21. On the second occasion he was not in uniform. The third count was for neglecting "on numerous occasions, while on duty, your primary duty assignment by engaging in improper contacts with streetwalking prostitutes."

"Jimenez was by far the most credible witness," Rathburn said, "and we had additional evidence to corroborate his statements." Neither Valencia nor his attorney could be reached for comment Friday. A lewd act is defined by police as "some sort of public sex act. It can be done alone, or with another person of the same or the opposite sex," LAPD spokesman Cmdr. William Booth said. According to Booth, it was not the first time that an

"In the history of the department, I'd be hard pressed to find a violation that has not been committed. Sex charges, neglected duty charges, lewd conduct charges--we've had them all."

The Department of Internal Affairs charged in its suspension note that Valencia had engaged in such activities between January and May, 1987, in the vicinity of the 500 block of South Gladys Avenue, a downtown trucking area frequented by transvestite prostitutes. Internal Affairs investigators had presented to the hearing board tape recordings made by prostitute Jimenez, who carried a hidden microphone during an encounter with Valencia while the sergeant was on duty.

2013 Northwest cop quit before prostitution arrest; warrant details allegations Submitted by Jayne Dees on

Wed, 05/15/2013 - 11:58pm.

NORTHWEST, NC (WWAY) -- Last week he was a police officer. Today he's out of a job and has been in and out of jail. A former Northwest police officer was charged in connection to an ongoing prostitution investigation in another Brunswick County town.

An arrest warrant says Hayes contacted a 17-year-old girl through a Craigslist sex ad, then met her in Boiling Spring Lakes and gave her $60 for a sex act. The SBI says last week BSL's police chief asked the agency to help investigate Hayes. Northwest Police Chief Copelen Taylor says he learned about the investigation Saturday and suspended Hayes pending the outcome. He says the SBI called Monday saying it might file charges. "It's a let down to the department and to the citizens, but he's human, and we make mistakes," Chief Taylor said. Taylor says Hayes resigned Tuesday the day before he was arrested. Hayes wrote in resignation, "I have some issues I need to attend to in my personal life." Chief Taylor says he is disappointed. "He apologized," Taylor said. "He was very, very disappointed in himself. He said he made a mistake. He didn't mean to hurt anyone." The warrant says the false report charge stems from information Hayes gave a Brunswick County Sheriff's deputy about damage from bullet strikes to Hayes's car in November. It's not the first time Hayes has been in trouble. In 1991 he was convicted of misdemeanor death by vehicle. The woman named as the prostitute in the warrant for Hayes was also named in warrants for two men BSL Police arrested earlier this month for allegedly pimping her. At the time, Boiling Spring Lakes Police said they expected more arrests.

The SBI charged former Northwest Police Lt. Michael Hayes with solicitation of a minor for prostitution and filing a false report. He was released from jail on bond a short time later.

Cops Murder Prostitutes

2011 WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- A Palm Beach County grand jury has indicted a former Florida Atlantic University Police corporal on charges of first-degree murder with a firearm and kidnapping with a firearm. State Attorney Michael McAuliffe said the indictment was handed up Thursday, charging Jimmy Dac Ho, 47, with the murder of Sheri Deann Carter, a 29-year-old Boynton Beach prostitute he connected with online. Ho faces life in prison on the kidnap charge and the death penalty on the murder charge.

EARLIER: FAU cop confesses to shooting prostitute in her Boynton Beach condo The indictment alleges that on Jan. 31, Ho premeditated the killing of Carter by shooting her with a firearm. It also alleges Ho forcibly confined, abducted or imprisoned Carter, against her will. Ho told police he handcuffed Carter to her bed, claiming first that he thought she was going to shoot him, and then later that she was going to pull a knife on him, in attempt to rob him. Police quickly connected Carter's shooting to Ho through cell phone records, and he confessed to police almost immediately when they went to speak with him. Ho was placed on administrative leave from his job at FAU the next day, and resigned a few hours after that. The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office reports that he attempted to kill himself while in jail that week.

Cops Murder Prostitutes

Hearing set in Kern deputy's death penalty case

11/12/2009

A Kern County Sheriff’s deputy sentenced to death for murdering two prostitutes is coming back to Bakersfield court for a hearing on whether his death sentence should be reversed. In one of Kern County’s most notorious murder cases, David Keith Rogers, now 62, was convicted of murdering two Union Avenue prostitutes in separate incidents in 1986 and 1987. One was 15 years old and pregnant when she was shot to death. The California Supreme Court upheld his conviction in 2006, but ordered a local hearing on whether his sentence should be reduced from death to life with no possibility of parole. That hearing is set for Nov. 20. Rogers had a history of abusing prostitutes. He was fired in 1983 for on-duty violence against a prostitute, but that case was dropped when the victim mysteriously disappeared. Rogers was a suspect in her disappearance, but never was arrested.

COPS MURDER PROSTITUTES

“Prostitution is like rape...”

After he was convicted of the 1986 and 1987 killings, prosecutors told a jury he deserved to die for the crimes. In the penalty phase against him, they called a witness who said she was a prostitute and was attacked by Rogers in 1986. Rogers’ attorneys now say there was another man preying on Kern County prostitutes at that time. The lawyers want to know if prosecutors knew, when they were accusing Rogers of the attack, that the other man was a suspect in the attack. The Supreme Court ordered a hearing on 14 questions regarding that issue It’s just the latest development in a case that has fascinated Kern County and made worldwide headlines for decades. Rogers became a suspect in the case when a Kern County crime lab criminalist noticed both women were killed with the same kind of bullet – and it was the kind of bullet the Sheriff’s Department gave to deputies. Rogers took the witness stand in his own behalf. He admitted one murder and said he couldn’t remember the other. A psychiatrist testified the deputy was frightened by the 15-year-old prostitute because she stirred his memories of childhood sexual victimization and subconscious feelings of inadequacies.

His death penalty sentence was upheld by the courts. It is unknown if the sentence has been carried out.

Cops Murder Prostitutes 1973 Gerard Schaefer, Deputy Sheriff, Martin County, Florida “In addition to being heralded as the foremost killer of women in this century, I am also known as “The Sex Beast.” The media has reported that I hang women, have sexual experiences with their rotting corpses and then hack them into pieces with a machete.” Gerard Shaefer pg 297 Murder Behind the Badge by Stacy Dittrich (2010)

In 1973, Gerard was convicted of murdering only two women, but he was a person of interest and most likely the perpetrator of at least 30 other murders, including murders of prostitutes, his favorite targets. According to Stacy Dittrich, author of Murder Behind the Badge (2010- Prometheus books), Schaefer was “without a doubt the most vicious and heinous murderer to appear in the pages of this book, Schaefer would most likely laugh at the other officers who are included with him... in fact, to hear him speak of his crimes, one would think that he truly believed he was doing society a favor. He considered himself something like an angel of God, a self- proclaimed messiah put on earth to rid the world of all whores, sinners and disobedient women.”

COPS MURDER PROSTITUTES

“Prostitution is like rape...”

After he was convicted and sentenced to prison, he wrote several books, including one entitled “Beyond Killer Fiction” about a rogue cop who slaughters prostitutes. In a letter he wrote to a missing persons agency, he said “Since 1973, I’ve been linked to 170 dead and missing women on three continents... Depending on what book you read, I am credited with as few as 34 kills and as high as 170. All sources agree that I am unquestionably the most prolific killer of women between the years 1963 and 1973... Last year I had a letter from an old woman who read a crime tabloid story about how I’d killed roadside hookers by driving them out to a rented warehouse where they were murdered by hanging. The old lady wrote and wanted to know if I’d gotten her hooker daughter. As it turned out I had hanged the whoredaugher. The old lady was glad to know the kid wasn’t walking around with amnesia...”

On December 3, 1995, a fellow convicted murderer, Vincent Rivera, entered Schaefer’s cell and stabbed him upward of 40 times with a homemade shank. Rivera slit Schaefer’s throat and gouged out his eyes. Rivera did what the state of Florida did not do. He put an end to this murderous former law enforcement officer who thought he did the world a favor by killing whores. www.iswface.org

How many are ‘too many’? Or does it matter to you? The following is a list of Law Enforcement Officers caught raping, extorting or soliciting prostitutes.

“So what you're saying is you don't have any studies or statistics showing *police* commit more violence than *customers*.”

In response to this individual quoted above who endorses the “Swedish Model,” if the previous cases of extortionist, rapist and murderous cops, or the following list of more cops who rape/ extort/ kill prostitutes isn’t enough for you, what will be? Clearly you do not care about the wellbeing of sex workersonly about your abolitionist agenda...

Abuse most often occurs when they are given broad powers to enforce unenforceable ‘moral’ laws, have little oversight or accountability to those they serve and are seldom punished when they break the law because, as is noted by many, juries do not want to believe cops are bad. As well, cities do not want to lose their investment in training the officer who may have ‘violated the law’ a little...

After every major police scandal, generally a commission is formed to investigate the crimes committed by law enforcement agents and recommend ways to stop corruption or at least minimize it. Report after report is issued, NY having a great number of these commissions, and in the majority of those reports and recommendations, the commissions suggest that if society is serious about reducing police corruption, it needs to consider decriminalizing ‘vices’ which are the main causes of corruption: Drugs, gambling and prostitution. Law enforcement agents should never be called upon to be the arbiters of moral values- values which are and must remain the realm of religions and those who practice them. Laws ought only to exist to protect the rights of the individual from force, the threat of force, fraud or coercion, not to protect the individual from his or her self, or from engaging in ‘sinful’ activity. Law enforcement agents are members of the community- they are as likely as any other members of the community to engage in the vices that have been enjoyed by human beings throughout history... To pretend otherwise is foolish and harmful- not only to those who will always provide pleasure for a price, but to the community as a whole. When bad cops are caught, it jeopardizes every case in which they have been called to testify and which resulted in a conviction and incarceration of the perpetrator. It breeds a distrust of government and scorn for those who represent it. If you as a conservative, find prostitution morally offensive, that is your right, but if you can accept the police corruption that always has and always will result from the enforcement of vice laws, you have no claim to morality whatsoever. And if you, as a progressive, claim you are concerned for the mental or physical health and well being of prostitutes and yet dismiss the greater harm we experience that comes from being raped, extorted or pimped by those who wear badges, then your alleged ‘concern’ for us is absolutely rubbish. 196

Part VI- “Even One is Too Many” Cops and Minors Nationwide,   States  Attorneys  General   are   demanding   that  online   classified   website   like   backpage.com   and   others   shut   down   their   adult   services   ads-­‐‑   supposedly   to   protect   underage   persons   from   being   sexually   trafficked.  According  to   the  August  31,  2011  letter  sent  to   backpage.com  from  these  states  attorneys  general,   "ʺMore  than  50  cases  of  trafficking  or  attempted  trafficking  of  minors  on  Backpage.com  have  been  filed  in  22   states  in  the  past  three  years."ʺ    Further,  the  letter  notes,  "ʺThese  are  only  the  stories  that  made  it  into  the  news;   many  more  instances  likely  exist..."ʺ  to  which  we  say,  the  same  is  true  of  the  number  of    cases  of  cops  and  other   law  enforcement  agents  who   have  sexually   exploited   children.   A   child   is  not  likely   to   want  to   report  their   sexual   exploitation   at   the   hands   of   a   trusted   member   of   law   enforcement   to...   another   member   of   law   enforcement... Unfortunately  for  underage  persons  who  are  victims  of  sexual  abuse  at  the  hands  of  an  adult,  the  majority  of   abusers  do   not  find   their  victims  through   these   classified  ads.   The   abusers  are   often  persons  in  positions  of   authority,  such  as  cops,  judges,  district  attorneys,  and  even  FBI  agents.  Clergy,  teachers,  boy  scout  leaders  and   others  are  also  among  those  whom  a  child   trusts  and   looks  up   to   for  protection  but  find   in  them  an  abuser.   According  to  the  government'ʹs  own  statistics,  90%  of  underage  persons  who  are  sexually  abused  are  victims   of  someone  they  know,  and  68%  of  these  underage  sexual  abuse    cases  are  at  the  hands  of  a  family  member.   (See   the   US   Department   of   Justice   Report   :   Sexual   Assault   of   YoungChildren   as   Reported   to   Law   Enforcement:  Victim,  Incident,  and  Offender  Characteristics      )

“Even One Child is Too Many...”

The following are examples of law enforcement officers caught with underage persons or with child pornography from the 1990s through 2013. Of course there are many more from the earlier years but this is a limited presentation intended to show that the cases noted herein follow an unbroken pattern from the recent past to the present day.

Links to the cases of individual officers can be found on the www.policeprostitutionandpolitics.com website We do not claim that all or even most law enforcement agents are rapists, extortionists or child molesters. Fortunately for society, there are far more honest, upright and conscientious officers than there are of the sort listed here. And to such men and women, we offer our deepest sympathy that society cares more about appearances than reality, which forces you to look the other way as you continue to work with criminals as partners and supervisors, individuals whom those in power do not want to punish.

Cops Molest Children

“A former Alameda County Sheriff's deputy accused of molesting three children between 2005 and 2009 pleaded guilty Monday to three counts of child endangerment, prosecutor Paul Graves said. Michael Bareno, a 43-year-old San Ramon resident, was sentenced to a year in jail and five years probation. He gets credit for 199 days served, which means he could be released in about a month, Graves told Patch. Bareno was a sheriff's deputy for 15 years before being placed on administrative leave after his November (2010) arrest. Prosecutors said he formally resigned a few weeks ago. Bareno was first charged with 10 counts of child molestation. Prosecutors said he molested two boys and a girl in Contra Costa County, all of them under the age of 10. The Contra Costa County District Attorney's Officer offered the plea bargain because of factual issues and the age of the victims, Graves said.” http://livermore.patch.com/articles/former-sheriffs-deputy-accused-of-child-molestation-accepts-plea-deal

This officer sexually molested children under the age of 10 and received a year in jail- five years probation and NO mention of a sex offender registry- but many politicians and prostitution abolitionists propose to increase the punishment to 8, 14 or 20 YEARS for the non

violent, non abusive clients and those to whom consenting adult prostitutes give any of their money! www.iswface.org

Prosecutors said between March and September of 2010 Mangione sent numerous emails of children between the ages of 3 and 15 in sexually suggestive poses. One image, they said, depicted an eight-year-old girl in an elevator and another showed two boys under the age of ten. When Mangione pled guilty in July, the judge told him that after he serves his time in federal prison, he’ll have to register as a sex offender.

As the Special Agent in Charge of ICE’s South Florida office, Mangione had been one of the leading local crusaders against child pornography, regularly vowing to hunt down people who exploit children.

“Kenneth Tomlinson has pleaded guilty to 22 counts of sexual abuse of minors all during the time that he served as police captain of Fredericktown and a Boy Scout leader in the southeastern Missouri town. In January, Tomlinson was charged with a dozen counts of first-degree statutory sodomy and four counts of second-degree statutory sodomy, with the Missouri attorney general's office accusing him of "deviate sexual intercourse" with three boys under the age of 17, 14 and 12. The acts occurred after March 2009 with the boys telling authorities that most incidents happened in Tomlinson's truck with the scout leader giving them naked pictures of girls... In a statement today, attorney general Chris Koster said Tomlinson abused his position of authority. "It is tragic and unfathomable that a person in a position of trust and influence, especially trust and influence over minor children, would take personal advantage and would abuse that trust," Koster said. "I send my concern and sympathy to the victims and family members harmed by this act of betrayal."

2010 Bakersfield (CA)Police Officer Christopher Bowersox is facing federal child pornography charges

http://www.bakersfieldnow.com/news/local/84286267.html Affidavits filed in federal court describe in detail internet discussions involving Bowersox and a Florida man that reference raping, mutilating and killing children. ...."You will see the likes of Dahmer when I'm done with you," Bowersox tells the man in one of the excerpts. Jeffrey Dahmer is a notorious serial killer and sex offender. Most of the conversations are too graphic to publish. The conversations occurred between September 6 and September 14, 2009. Investigators also found images of child pornography on computers seized at Bowersox's Bakersfield home, according to the affidavit....The images include pictures of young boys involved in sex acts.

That four-year sentence was part of a plea bargain reached between Bowersox and federal prosecutors in February. In approving the deal, U.S. District Court Judge Anthony W.

2010 Another Albuquerque Officer accused of rape, 3rd for APD “ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) - A rapist with a badge. That is what investigators are saying about an Albuquerque Police officer who is accused of raping a girl repeatedly... And this is just the latest in a series of rape cases against APD officers in recent years.

"Anytime we have allegations that are made, we take them very very seriously," APD Chief Ray Schultz said. Patrol officer Guenther is facing some serious allegations, 26 felony counts accusing him of raping a young relative over the course of three years, from 2002 to 2005. Investigators said the girl was under 12-years-old at the time. The Bernalillo County Sheriff's Department told APD a year ago they were investigating Guenther. "At that time, Officer Guenther was place on administrative assignment while that investigation continued," Chief Schultz said. This is not the first case where an Albuquerque cop was accused of rape. There have been three in the past five years. In 2007 Officer David Maes was convicted of raping a female suspect (prostitute) at a park while he was supposed to be driving her to jail. A judge gave Maes five years probation. (that would be Judge Pat Murdoch who was arrested in 2011 for raping... a prostitute) A jury was deadlocked on whether VICE Detective Timothy Chavez raped a 14-year-old girl he met through a telephone chat line in 2005...” At the time of this article, Guenther was put on paid suspension. http://www.krqe.com/dpp/news/officer-charged-with-rape,-3rd-for-apd-

Kenneth John Freeman pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court in Spokane to two counts of production of child pornography and a third count of interstate transportation of a minor for the purpose of engaging in unlawful sexual activity. Afterward, he appeared in Spokane County Superior Court and pleaded guilty to three state companion charges of first-degree child rape – state charges transferred from Benton County where the crimes occurred between September and November 2000. Kenneth John Freeman Freeman videotaped sex acts with his daughter and later put the images on the Internet where, authorities said, it became one of the most-watched child porn videos ever. http://www.spokesman.com/stories/2008/dec/17/former-sheriffs-deputy-get-50-years-plea-deal/

Ex-Officer Pleads No Contest in Molestation Case June 17, 1986

A former Los Angeles police officer pleaded no contest Monday to five counts of lewd conduct for sexually molesting a 15-year-old girl. Michael Casados, 40, who resigned after his arrest in April, entered his no-contest pleas--the legal equivalent of guilty--on the day that his preliminary hearing was set to begin in Municipal Court.

Under terms of a plea bargain with the district attorney's office, Casados will receive no state prison or county jail time and eight other lewd conduct charges will be dismissed against him at that time.

Police spokesman Cmdr. William Booth said an investigation was launched after police received complaints from the victim, who had been molested over a five-year period. She was 10 years old when he started molesting her... In 1976, Casados was suspended for six months by a police tribunal, which found him guilty of engaging in sexual acts with a 17-year-old female Hollywood Explorer Scout. Casados was a 16-year police veteran assigned to the Northeast Division. http://articles.latimes.com/print/1986-06-17/news/mn-11607_1_lewd-conduct

Michael Casados, 40, must undergo psychiatric care and have no contact with the victim, under the terms of probation set by Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Arelio Munoz. Prosecutors agreed to a plea-bargain with no prison time because the girl refused to testify in court, according to Deputy Dist. Atty. Michael E. Barton. Casados, who resigned from the police force after his April arrest, had been charged with molesting the girl over a five-year period. In 1976, he was suspended from the police force for six months after being found guilty of sex acts with a female Hollywood Explorer Scout. http://articles.latimes.com/print/1986-07-25/news/mn-255_1_police-force

ROCKWOOD: Former police officer arraigned on sex charges

“ROCKWOOD (MI) — A former police officer sworn to protect and serve is facing three charges related to alleged sex crimes.

“These are very serious allegations that, if proven to be true, undermine the trust which citizens must have in our police officers,” Worthy said in a press release. “We will treat Christian Zieminski just as we would any other defendant.” Rockwood Police Chief Stephen Rowe said this morning that when he was made aware of accusations against the officer he immediately turned the investigation over to the Michigan State Police. Zieminski actually was fired July 6. Rowe said he was made aware of the charges against the former officer Monday evening...(Rowe) said the department has handled the matter and will move forward confident that the public will keep in mind all of the good efforts in Rockwood....

This is the second time in Zieminski’s career in law enforcement that he has been terminated. Zieminski was hired by the Rockwood Police Department in June 2007 under a cloud of controversy... He had been fired from the Brownstown Township Police Department in 2006. At that time, Zieminski had been serving as the liaison officer at Woodhaven High School when police confirmed that he had an inappropriate relationship with a 17-year-old student... Zieminski had been an officer in Brownstown for six years before being terminated. An investigation then found Zieminski had inappropriate contact with the student on two occasions. The relationship was discovered after the teenager told several of her friends about the encounters.... Zieminski was recommended for hire in Rockwood by then-Rockwood Police Chief Russell VanWassehnova. He was approved by the City Council, which was unaware of the circumstances surrounding his termination in the township. Former Mayor Philip Smalley later apologized to the community for not telling the council why Zieminski had been fired in Brownstown.... Zieminski was described as “remorseful” and “very apologetic” when he left the Brownstown police force. A Rockwood resident questioned the board at the time and asked how Zieminski could have been the best applicant out of 15 to be the city’s new officer.... At the time of his hiring in Rockwood,

VanWassehnova said Zieminski deserved a second chance. http://www.pressandguide.com/articles/2012/08/28/news/doc503d0cd4f0982222366921.txt?viewmode=fullstory

2011 Ex-Salinas officer pleads no contest in molest case

Lance Mosher, 45, entered the plea late Wednesday on the condition he be sentenced to felony probation, which can carry up to one year in jail. Judge Russell Scott agreed he would offer no opinion on the issue of Mosher serving any jail time on home confinement. He will be sentenced Sept. 23. Mosher worked at the Salinas Police Department from 2004 until he was placed on paid administrative leave following his arrest in September. According to testimony at his preliminary hearing, the girl reluctantly told District Attorney Investigator Christina Gunter in September that Mosher had once touched her sexually, and made her touch him, sometime between late 2005 and spring 2006. On two subsequent occasions, she told Gunter, Mosher kissed her in a way that "made her uncomfortable." Marina police Sgt. Jeff Carr testified that an emotional Mosher had confessed to a family member that he inappropriately touched the girl. http://www.montereyherald.com/exclusive/ci_18387234

09/24/2011 Former Salinas police officer gets 9 months in jail for molesting girl By VIRGINIA HENNESSEY Herald Salinas Bureau A judge sentenced a former Salinas police officer Friday to 270 days in jail for molesting a 12-year-old girl five years ago. Judge Russell Scott gave Lance Mosher until Oct. 28 to surrender so he can apply to serve the jail time on home confinement. According to testimony at his preliminary hearing, the girl told investigators that Mosher once touched her sexually over her clothing and made her touch him. A suicidal Mosher confessed to his brother in April 2010 that he had not resisted when the girl placed his hand between her legs. The 45-year-old pleaded no contest to one felony county in July. He had faced a potential 12-year prison sentence as originally charged. A six-year veteran of the Salinas Police Department, he was placed on administrative leave when he was arrested in September 2010.

2010 Former officer pleads no contest to molesting teen Jurors couldn't reach a decision during Ricardo Rodriguez's trial last year. BY CRAIG KAPITAN : NOVEMBER 15, 2010

Charges have been pending against Ricardo Rodriguez, 42, since March 2006, after a 16-year-old accused him of molesting her over a two-year period. The teen told authorities the abuse started when she was on medication, according to previous reports. Rodriguez had been with the department for six years when he was placed on unpaid leave following the allegation. In exchange for the no contest plea, prosecutors agreed to ask for no more than 5 years in prison and not oppose his application for deferred adjudication probation. He will be sentenced in January before state District Judge Lori Valenzuela. The plea agreement also requires Rodriguez to permanently surrender his law enforcement license.

A former San Antonio Park Police officer was sentenced to four years in prison Thursday, nearly five years after he was accused of molesting a teen and giving her a sexually transmitted disease. Ricardo Rodriguez, 42, pleaded no contest to indecency with a child by contact in November as part of a plea deal in which five additional counts were dropped and his maximum possible sentence was reduced to five years. His attorney Thursday had asked state District Judge Lori Valenzuela for deferred adjudication probation. The victim, now 21, said she was repeatedly molested by Rodriguez for two years starting when she was 14. She tested positive for the same strain of genital herpes that Rodriguez has, according to court documents.

Now, it'll be up to a federal judge whether his law enforcement career gets him a break. Kenneth Barton admitted Wednesday that he lived a double life. The former sergeant had resigned in 2007 from the Charlotte County Sheriff's Office amid a series of allegations he'd molested a young girl and had an inappropriate relationship with a teenager... But until June, no one knew what he had stashed in his bedroom closet. Wednesday, he admitted it was two computers with child pornography on them. Government investigators say they found more than 100 sexually explicit videos - some involving children as young as three... Barton admitted to the judge he knowingly downloaded computer files that contained minors in sexual activities...He'll get credit for cooperating with the government - but a federal judge will decide what to make of his former career at sentencing "It's a two-edged sword because of his background. There may be an argument that he knew better and should not have been involved, or he may be given credit for 25 years in loyal service to law enforcement..." ‘ http://www.abc-7.com/story/19465700/former-deputy-pleads-guilty-to-child-porn-charges July 2013- UNKNOWN SENTENCE- but if the judge gives him credit for his loyal service to law enforcement- even if he had been molesting children throughout his career... he will most likely get probation or a very minimal sentence.... www.iswface.org

July 11, 2013 Off-duty NYPD officer busted for attempted rape of teen (16 years)

Peter Ciollo, 29, was off duty when he allegedly targeted the 16-year-old victim over the holiday weekend, the sources said. Ciollo was partying with two 16-year-old girls before participating in “multiple sexual acts” with the victim, Staten Island prosecutor Victoria Levin said Thursday at the cop’s arraignment. Levin, reading from the criminal complaint, said the accused officer blamed the victim for what started on the night of July 4 and finished around 2 a.m. the next day...

NYPD cop Peter Ciollo charged with attempted rape, giving alcohol to a child, endangering the welfare of a child and sexual abuse. He has been suspended without pay.

According to the sources, Ciollo gave the victim alcohol before letting her drive his car. The cop allegedly provided her with more to drink before they returned to his home. Ciollo, at some point, used a computer to show the girl pornography before kissing her on the lips and urging her to take her shirt off, the sources said. The pair wound up in bed, where the officer had the teen climb on top of him while he rubbed his genitals against hers, the sources said. The woozy girl later said she remembers waking up in somebody else’s underwear before Ciollo’s wife found the two in bed, the sources said. The Staten Island cop, who joined the force in 2006, was suspended without pay from the 120th Precinct.

"Officer-involved sexual misconduct describes an entire subset of police misconduct that includes non-criminal complaints such as consensual sexual activity that occurs while an officer is on-duty, sexual harassment, up to felony acts of sexual assault or child molestation. Sexual misconduct was the second most common form of misconduct reported throughout 2010 with 618 officers involved in sexual misconduct complaints during that period, 354 of which were involved in complaints that involved forcible nonconsensual sexual activity such as sexual assault or sexual battery.

Text

Of the officers associated with reports of serious sexual misconduct, 51% (180) were involved with reports that involved minors and 49% (174) involved adults. However, of the 479 alleged victims of serious sexual misconduct which were tracked, 52% (249) were minors and 48% (230) were adults. This would appear to indicate that minors are victims of alleged serial offenders slightly more often than adults. Of the 354 officers involved with serious sexual misconduct reports, 56 law enforcement officers were involved in allegations where multiple victims were involved."

Text

Are these many child victims of cops, judges and politicians less important to society than those who are commercially sexually exploited?

If the concern expressed by the anti- traffickers is really about the children, why don’t we use the limited resources that we have to punish those who commit these crimes against childrenincluding the all too many law enforcement officers who sexually exploit minors- rather than punish the non violent, non abusive clients of adult sex workers, against whom NO SEX WORKER has reported a crime? www.iswface.org

Is that a Sexual Predator hiding behind that badge?

Stopping Sexual Predators before they strike, regardless of who they are, should be the primary focus in the effort to combat child molestation. It is not. Society has determined to waste its resources dealing with predators after they cause the damage to children. Although society is certainly justified in using precious resources to PUNISH predators after due process, it should consider educating parents and registering adults who work with and are responsible for children instead of using the millions of dollars it spends registering and monitoring former predators whose recidivism rate is extremely low. Current Sex Offender registration causes unwarranted harm to families of former offenders. Written and Compiled by Steve A.

In  summary...   If  after  reading  the  numerous  horrific  cases  of  law  enforcement    abuse  -­‐‑  sexual  and  physical-­‐‑ of  adult  sex  workers,  prison  inmates  AND  children,  including  their  own-­‐‑  you  are  still  convinced  that    individuals  whom  you  consider  ‘victims  of  violence’    and  ‘child  sexual   exploitation’  are  better  off  being  ‘rescued/  arrested’    by  government  agents  who  have  shown   they  cannot  be  trusted  around  either  sex  workers    or  children;    being  ‘rescued’  by  cops  who  commit  these  appalling  crimes  because  society  has  given  them  carte  blanche  to  do   so    in  the  quest    to  ‘protect  the  ‘victims’  ‘for  our  own  good,’    you  cannot  claim  to  be  concerned  for  the  physical  or  mental  well  being  of  prostitutes. Nothing  changes  for  us  when  our  non  violent,  non  abusive  clients,  employers  or  associates  are  prosecuted   instead  of  us-­‐‑  if  we  even  believed  that  it  was  rational  to  prosecute  them  in  the  first  place  if  we  have  not  reported  being  a  victim  of  a  crime  at  their  hands. Prosecute  and  punish  anyone  who  commits  violence  against  another  when  there  is  an  actual  complainant,  even   if  the  perpetrator  is  a  law  enforcement  agent. Those  who  are  (non  sex  worker)  victims  of  violent  rape,  sexual  assault  and  domestic  violence  are   short  changed  by  the  government  which  claims  to  want  to  ‘eliminate  all  prostitution’  because  it  is  ‘violence   against  women,’  but  does  little  or  nothing  to  eliminate  the  overwhelming  violence   within  marriage,  the  military,  on  college  campuses  and  in  prison-­‐‑  pervasive  violence  which  is  a  far  greater   threat  to  women’s  health  and  well  being.   It  is  time  to  stop  infantilizing  adult  women  and  allow  us  to  make  choices  for  ourselves,  even  if  those  choices  are   offensive  to  you,  or  even  if  you  believe  we  have  ‘no  choice.’    When  cops  threaten  to  arrest  us  if  we  do  not  submit   to  their  sexual  desires,    that’s  when  we  have  ‘no  choice.’  It  is  this  force  and  coercion  which,  being  a  primary   consequence  of  the  prohibition  against  prostitution,  ought  to  be  far  more  offensive  to  you  and  cause  you  more   concern  for  our  well  being  than  whether  or  not  we  avail  ourselves  of  your  offer  to  ‘rescue  and  rehabilitate’  us. 225 225
