I know when something doesn't make sense, to go check back on it later on. Now maybe I look at this lawsuit a bit differently because I've been working as a paralegal for so long now, but when I've shown this case to various lawyers - they all say the same thing - this case will be dismissed for a lack of standing. EVEN IF they can prove standing, they can't prove damages. If they can't show actual damages by SESTA/FOSTA - then how on earth are they going to prove they can over turn this case.
I do know that "Alex Andrews" wormed her way into being in this case above and beyond myself - who I knew couldn't prove any standing or damages that SESTA/FOSTA harmed her, especially since I knew not only was this someone claiming to be a working sex worker, someone who others were telling me was still in sex work, but further wasn't even her real name. At the time, she had been telling people down in SWOP-Orlando she was "one of them" right as the chapter head there was struggling with health issues, and then eventually killed herself. This was to people who didn't know about her fraud case out of Oklahoma - or any of the stuff she'd pulled on us or when she tried to infiltrate and take over our hotline. I've gone through this with my ex-husband as well as many other times with these types of predators - I know that eventually people will see through this act - I just have to give it time. I found it interesting that Google pulled nothing up about the fraud case against Jesse Maley, but Duckduckgo did (showing their value when you're trying to do actual research by the way). Bing seems to show it as well - but most people don't use Bing for research. <a href="https://www.newson6.com/story/5e34d8a1e0c96e774b355fca/florida-nonprofit-pulls-video-falsely-portraying-carina-saunders" target="_blank">https://www.newson6.com/story/5e34d8a1e0c96e774b355fca/florida-nonprofit-pulls-video-falsely-portraying-carina-saunders</a> This was a case where Jesse claimed her "Out of the Shadows" organization helped sex trafficking victims - but made this claim over a woman who wasn't even ever a sex worker. I saw the attorney general of Oklahoma starting to put a case together against Jesse that magically disappeared once she joined this SESTA/FOSTA lawsuit however.
But in Jesse's declaration, she takes credit for the only websites that have ever bashed me and SWA online. So now we now the who and the motive behind those sites bashing us now don't we?
I emailed Aaron again asking if he wanted to talk about substituting in a plaintiff that had actual standing, could prove damages, and might actually stand a chance at winning this case - and he didn't respond of course. Tell me why would the court believe this harms sex trafficking victims when the only groups who are joining in the suit are groups who support people staying IN sex work, and have absolutely no track history of ever helping any actual sex trafficking victims to know what they've even talking about? This is as bad as the Backpage case that also had no idea what they were even prosecuting that resulted in a lot of press - but no convictions.
And Jesse is now answering yet another hotline for sex workers that she KNOWS can't afford any of the callers any of the protections a 12 step program affords their members. A 12 step group is the ONLY group that by law - no information gathered in connection with any calls to that group or attendance at any of their functions can be used in a court of law against this person. They can't even get a search warrant legally for our records the 12 step programs are so protected. But yet they've set up another hotline and group NOT offering these protections to the people who call them as Jesse's done again down in Florida.

<br />
I've been told Joohoon David Lee can't be charged with trafficking for what he did when trafficking women from Korea while also a Homeland Security/ICE officer. However, people like him HAVE been charged criminally AND sued civilly for actions they've done while off-duty. Now since I doubt he did everything he did this this criminal operation while on duty, I'm sure some of it was done off duty.<br />
<br />
To any victims of Joohoon David Lee, or anyone else who was trafficked by an officer of some type in the government, there are actions you can take to win a monetary judgment in my opinion. Please get in touch with me to talk about this confidentially if you'd like. I have attorney's who would also like to speak to you. <br />

I saw your photography project on abolitionists <a href="http://www.photoville.com/2015-exhibitions/new-yorks-new-abolitionists/" target="_blank">http://www.photoville.com/2015-exhibitions/new-yorks-new-abolitionists/ </a> and I was
curious how you did your research for the project. I say that because I must be missing some huge
gaps in our social media. Not hard to
have happen since 99.99 % of my time is spent only working with victims of sex
trafficking directly. I don’t spend time
in things like fund raisers, awards, etc., because the work is just so
demanding of my time I don’t have a spare moment. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The only time I am not working directly with victims
directly is when I’m trying to address the traffickers, or the sex industry
itself. For example, from 1984 until
1987, I had to “lay low” because of being on probation. Why? Because
I set up the first safe house for adults in this country. I took an old warehouse I still had a lease on
when I left the sex industry myself, and converted it into a safe house. I had to as victims had nowhere safe to go if
over 18 anywhere in this country. The
fear of HIV/AIDS, combined with a total lack of recognition sex trafficking was
even real, had drug treatment programs, homeless and domestic violence shelters
all completely shunning us from being admitted for any reason – running from
traffickers included long before the term was even invented. So to the term “safe house for adult survivors”. None of these terms existed in 1984 I assure
you. Not when if you called the police
back then for help you’d be arrested, and if you called someone in the mental
health field they would literally try and lock you up for psychiatric
observation on the idea you were “hallucinating”.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After we launched our 12 step program and the first
international hotline for adults to call when they needed help for ANY reason,
including what’s now called sex trafficking, to get help to leave the sex
industry (which encompasses more than just prostitution as it includes porn,
stripping, webcams, etc.), and set up the first outreach into the sex industry
to get help to get out to those who included those needing help to leave
traffickers, the first alternative sentencing program which recognized some of
those arrested for prostitution might be victims of force, and the first HIV
testing site which had a physical set-up with security and a back-door so those
who were being trafficked could ask for help to go out the back door while
their traffickers were sent flying out the front door, etc. – we no sooner had
these programs set up when we had to take on a full scale battle with the legal
brothels out of Nevada.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Joe Conforte, then owner of the Mustang Ranch, bought
himself a staged HIV test out of the University of Berkeley. He literally set up the results so it would
appear none of his brothel employees had any HIV infection (just like how big
tobacco used to buy their research results before that trick got exposed), and
then after putting up $1,000,000 into a PR firm in California – Joe embarked upon
the media trail to get prostitution legalized in California by parading around
that test result proclaiming “none of his prostitutes had HIV/AIDS”. This was prior to the Telecommunications Act
of 1995. Meaning he couldn’t go on TV
without an “opponent” when it came to something being voted on. Which
also meant the only person who would go up against Joe on TV and oppose him after
having murdered a famous boxer in cold blood without serving one day in jail
was me. It was great publicity for our
hotline and we got literally 1,000’s of phone calls.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We also won.
California did not legalize prostitution in 1988.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This didn’t stop Joe from trying again in 1991. I think there’s maybe one line about the
whole thing mentioned somewhere in the media – but it happened. Joe
went into the Nevada legislature with the proposal he wanted to expand his
brothels in to Las Vegas. I was there talking
about how badly this would affect property values if it passed and it didn’t.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Then we had Dennis Hof, owner of the Bunny Ranch, and
ex-mayor Oscar Goodman with his idea of “magnificent brothels” as he was quoted
as saying during his many interviews he gave trying to get the whole project
approved. Not for trying, the mayor brought
in potential investors such as Gene Simmons from KISS, and even took a showgirl
on trips with him trying to find support for the whole idea of legal brothels
in downtown Las Vegas. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It was not an easy fight to push back the brothels from
being on the site where the Mob Museum now sits. We had people like Aubrey testifying about being
forced to work in them. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="http://www.blogtalkradio.com/stopsextrafficktalk/2013/07/08/hear-from-a-nevada-brothel-prostitute">www.blogtalkradio.com/stopsextrafficktalk/2013/07/08/hear-from-a-nevada-brothel-prostitute</a>
Which led to the press conference we gave with Melissa Farley calling to “abolish”
them, along with revealing that yes trafficking did also exist within the legal
sex industry openly advertised – not just on street corners and dark alley’s. In fact, Bob Herbert’s interview with us in
2007 resulted In not only him being physically threatened with a “baseball bat
to the head” by Oscar Goodman, but also in every Metro officer, university
professor, and social worker in Vegas to be fired if they even looked at the
report “Making the Connections” about
Nevada sex trafficking <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We even got letters from major top Fortune 500 companies about
how much money they were NOT bringing to Nevada in conventions BECAUSE of the
brothels operating in Nevada submitted to the Legislature to show them how much
money these brothels would COST the economy, not boost it as the mayor was
promoting. It wasn’t until the President
made a crack in our favor that we were able to top the scales on that project
and finally they agreed to put the Mob Museum where they had once had an
architect draw up plans for a legal brothel.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
That didn’t stop them from continuing to try however to
expand into Las Vegas. In fact, right up
to 2013 when they tried to push through an “off calendar” unscheduled hearing
to get the brothels approved to operate in the downtown area. That’s when we brought in Aubrey again to
testify about what really goes on inside the brothels to get a win there. <a href="http://www.reviewjournal.com/news/nevada-legislature/prostitution-bill-not-nevada-legislatures-agenda">http://www.reviewjournal.com/news/nevada-legislature/prostitution-bill-not-nevada-legislatures-agenda</a>
Only you won’t find a word about her bravely going in there to testify against
them by herself because they’re put a bomb in our outreach RV so we couldn’t
make the hearing, and how they then threatened the lives of her and her
children so badly after this win at the legislature, that she had to flee the
state with them to stay alive.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Why not a word?
Because Sheldon Adelson has been controlling the Review Journal for many
years now before coming out in the open now about buying it. He had a reporter tell me after our press
conference in 2007 calling to “abolish” the industry we had a “lifetime ban” on
any publication he had any control over ever printing our name, or the name of
our program or phone number “no matter how many women die for not knowing where
to find help” was the quote delivered us from his reporter.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
True to his word too.
Now he’s got John Hambrick in as speaker of the house, he’s now got
Dennis running for senator, and Ron Paul backing up Derek Ellerman, who helped
put Polaris on the map (virtually ensuring no calls from the brothels go into the
national trafficking hotline) while Polaris further keeps shutting down their
competitor, and he’s spent a reported $100 million dollars trying to get Obama
shot down at every turn over his work helping trafficking victims. I mean they’ve even now managed not just
Samoly Mam to distract the public from the message of “real” survivors, but
they even now got another “catfish” Lexie Smith put right into Obama’s home
church so he’ll “think” he’s hearing from a trafficking survivor, but in
reality he’s not. I mean let’s go on
making more laws that already exist against pimps while making sure REAL
victims who are being trafficked by men with badges not only stay immune from
prosecution – but get to retire with their pensions. <a href="https://www.change.org/p/congress-hold-trusted-officials-responsible-for-crime">https://www.change.org/p/congress-hold-trusted-officials-responsible-for-crime</a><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We certainly don’t want them seeing what’s going on right in
front of their eyes what with Sheldon’s “prostitution policy” going into effect
right now trying to get prostitution legalized like it’s a separate issue from
sex work itself which is why not only has Dennis now started running for
Senate, but it’s why Polaris has now partnered with Google and Palantir Technologies. What a great way to make sure that no calls
reporting being trafficked while working at Oculus hits the media than to try
and get everyone thinking Polaris runs the ONLY hotline victims call for
help. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Because while one hand is putting all that money into
focusing on “ending demand” and the “johns” – no one is realizing they’re just
pushing the market right into Oculus’s front doorstep all in the name of “fighting
trafficking”. An identical strategy to
how big tobacco rolled out their “youth prevention project” to stop teens from
smoking which was in reality a clever brainwashing to GET youth to smoke. I mean what’s the best way to get someone to
think about a pink elephant? Tell them NOT
to think of a pink elephant of course!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I mean why else celebrate women who got their recovery in
the first place in our program, but not our program or the founder of it in the
first place? <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Because it’s all hoopla, bells, whistles, and a big brass
band to distract from the message the actual founder has been saying since day
one – that we’ve always been able to call the cops on pimps and get help for
those victims. What we couldn’t get
then, and still can’t, is to address victims of those who are like Joohoon David
Lee, or the victims of that DEA owned strip club, or the NY cop pimp, or all
the other traffickers like Chris Butler, Kemp Shiffer, etc., who STILL CAN’T
CALL THE POLICE for help. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Now maybe when they stop pushing all the callers into
calling Polaris so Palantir Technologies, i.e,. the CIA, can collect data on
people instead of recognizing that REAL victims of trafficking CAN’T call
Polaris because that’s essentially calling their traffickers, the very reason I
set up that first safe house in 1984, and setting up some REAL help which
includes either abolishing the whole industry entirely OR setting up a system
for them to call which has a separate check and balance system for victims of
men like Joohoon Lee, then we’re making some progress.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But most people don’t even have a clue that while they’re
out focusing on “ending demand” – Sheldon is going to push prostitution to be
legalized in this country right alone with medical marijuana he’s also
pushing. Which is why he’s completely
taken over the drug counseling training field while everyone was out chasing “johns”
down the street thinking that’s some kind of solution suddenly when it wasn’t
30 years ago either. Or maybe no one
has noticed that Polaris has refused to demand their hotline signs be in the
legal sex industries such as the legal brothels, porn agencies and studios,
strip clubs, massage parlors, etc., while making a big fuss about how they’re
in truck stops! While I can assure you
if they can get into a truck without their trafficker around – they’re not
being trafficked. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Anyway, I was wondering if you had a way I could reach out
and introduce our program and myself to the lovely people you’ve highlighted in
your photography project. I only seem
to know a few of them. Again, I guess I
spend so much of my time either answering our hotline, or working with our
victims – I don’t get out to events much to meet others in the field to meet
them and was wondering if you could help me find a way to reach them? <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<br />
Note the date on this article about Relativity Media, the company who filmed "8 Minutes" on which this article of July 15, 2015. Remember Kamylla claimed she was a woman who was paid to be on the show pretending to be a prostitute for them to pretend to save and is the woman they're claiming I was "using" to promote ourselves into the press. <a href="http://deadline.com/2015/07/relativity-ryan-kavanaugh-lawsuit-catalyst-capital-1201476388/">http://deadline.com/2015/07/relativity-ryan-kavanaugh-lawsuit-catalyst-capital-1201476388/</a><br />
<br />
Okay one point here - I challenge anyone to find anywhere online, in the news, anywhere where I identified Jeane Palfrey, the DC Madam, as a member of Sex Workers Anonymous until AFTER her death when I did so in protest of the determination she was a suicide victim. Now if I was "trying to get some publicity" I would think I would have said something about the fact she was talking to me every day for the last two years of her life BEFORE she died.<br />
<br />
I was NOT "exposing sensitive details on Kamylla online" as they were claiming. Kamylla was a complete "catfish" used to raise money by people who THOUGHT she was on the show. When I did get a call from a woman claiming she had been filmed on this show, nothing about her story washed.<br />
<br />
THAT'S what I was exposing.<br />
<br />
There was no case with the Houston court matching her story under ANY name. She was claiming she was (1) being evicted, (2) being deported, and (3) had been arrested for prostitution by cops on the payroll of "8 Minutes". <br />
<br />
The prosecutor and the jails in Houston said if she was not a US citizen, there would be no case pending under ANY name because they would not post bail for a non-US resident without a paycheck type of job. They are held without bail until their case is heard because they might deport them. In fact, there's been riots in jails lately over the fact they are holding aliens for indefinite periods of time without processing them just to collect that per diem for holding them. <br />
<br />
Here's an article about just this practice. <a href="http://investigations.nbcnews.com/_news/2012/08/21/12072030-immigrant-detainees-land-in-limbo-in-alabama-jail">http://investigations.nbcnews.com/_news/2012/08/21/12072030-immigrant-detainees-land-in-limbo-in-alabama-jail</a> But she's supposedly gotten bail on a prostitution charge and needs money to fight the case? SHE WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN RELEASED. Here's more about jails in Texas doing this. <a href="https://www.hrw.org/legacy/reports98/us-immig/Ins989-05.htm">https://www.hrw.org/legacy/reports98/us-immig/Ins989-05.htm</a><br />
<br />
Every reporter said they had not seen her face, seen her face on the show, nor had they even seen a contract that she'd even been on the show. Nor a copy of the $200 check she claimed she was paid. Relativity Media's HR department refused to show the W2 or give any type of confirmation she was even on the show. I have a tape recording of Relativity refusing to confirm she was even on the show.<br />
<br />
By the way, she's not the only "catfish" on the show either. Kelly Townsend is a man who claims HE was connected to "8 Minutes" as a private investigator. <a href="http://traffickingandprostitutionservices.blogspot.com/2016/04/kelly-townsend-12-legions-of-angels.html">http://traffickingandprostitutionservices.blogspot.com/2016/04/kelly-townsend-12-legions-of-angels.html</a><br />
<br />
She told everyone she was from Brazil. The voice of the woman who called me sounded Brazilian. However, listen to the voice Maxine claims is Kamylla. Does that sound Brazilian to you?<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yw7OG6MD0Ss&index=31&list=UUh1P670bv7af17B1zzKShdg" target="_blank"> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yw7OG6MD0Ss&index=31&list=UUh1P670bv7af17B1zzKShdg </a> Also, WHERE is Kathleen's "threat". <br />
<br />
No I'm not going to post the original voice online because I think they may have coerced a real prostitute into calling me and I don't want to put her voice online.<br />
<br />
Kathryn Griffin-Townsend was NOT even running a program back then this Kamylla was claiming to have been in. I checked with all of her social media and found nothing on a diversion program. When I spoke to the Houston jail, police, and prosecutor they each said she hadn't been running even her jail program - let alone their diversion program in over a year.<br />
<br />
I didn't put up fundraisers for Kamylla - but the person who put together www.sexworkersanonymous.org did. Not only did they use her to raise money, but also to get emails to generate support for Maxine's lawsuit against California.<br />
<br />
More important to try and not let the cat out of the bag the show had been staged and faked and was NOT REALITY. <br />
<br />
Why?<br />
<br />
Two reasons.<br />
<br />
One - that show was based on the premise that Kevin Brown ran a "real" trafficking program. If it leaked out it was faked - it would raise questions about people like Lexie Smith. Lexie Smith who was speaking at Obama's church as a "trafficking survivor" courtesy of Shared Hope. <a href="http://sharedhope.org/2016/03/04/3-ways-church-helped-free/">http://sharedhope.org/2016/03/04/3-ways-church-helped-free/</a><br />
<br />
Not just Lexie - but also D'Lita Miller or Dee Tucker or whatever her name is. Here she is on the cast <a href="http://www.aetv.com/shows/8-minutes/cast/dlita-miller">http://www.aetv.com/shows/8-minutes/cast/dlita-miller</a> Then I have her on the phone telling me they "have no resources for victims". Some "consultant". When I offered to share a list with her of resources for victims - she blocked my phone.<br />
<a href="http://traffickingandprostitutionservices.blogspot.com/search/label/D'Lita%20Miller">http://traffickingandprostitutionservices.blogspot.com/search/label/D'Lita%20Miller</a><br />
<br />
Now does the cast photo look like this person? <a href="http://ridley-thomas.lacounty.gov/index.php/survivor-of-trafficking/">http://ridley-thomas.lacounty.gov/index.php/survivor-of-trafficking/</a> The reason why I said "Dee Tucker" is I have people who claim that there WAS a legitimate program out here in Los Angeles, that got infiltrated by "imposters" who then took over the program right out from under her and then ousted her out.<br />
<br />
Sounded a lot like how I have Brenda Myers-Powell having done three documentaries now making it appear SHE'S the founder of Prostitutes Anonymous instead of me so I get it. Ask someone in Chicago who founded PA and they'll tell you "Brenda". <br />
<br />
Why? Money. Lots of grant money. <a href="http://www.ocregister.com/articles/trafficking-599120-beach-long.html">http://www.ocregister.com/articles/trafficking-599120-beach-long.html</a><br />
<br />
Meaning if the truth came out the show "8 Minutes", and the team of people doing the show, were complete "catfish" then that's a pretty big conspiracy to defraud not only the government, but also the donors who were going to all those church fundraisers while the show was on the air.<br />
<br />
So was I "threatening and exposing a sex worker online"?<br />
<br />
Nope.<br />
<br />
I was exposing a fraud.<br />
<br />
Another Samoly Mam who is hiding the voices of REAL victims of trafficking and REAL sex workers. Not "influencers" like Domina Elle and Maxine Doogan. Jenna Jameson called out to unionize sex workers. <a href="http://inthesetimes.com/working/entry/6569/jenna_jameson_calls_for_porn_stars_union_after_actors_positive_hiv_tes" target="_blank"> http://inthesetimes.com/working/entry/6569/jenna_jameson_calls_for_porn_stars_union_after_actors_positive_hiv_tes</a><br />
<br />
In all the press about Kamylla and "8 Minutes" and Maxine Doogan's lawsuit - have you heard one peep out of anyone about a union? <a href="http://www.pressdemocrat.com/news/3691984-181/group-seeking-to-legalize-prostitution">http://www.pressdemocrat.com/news/3691984-181/group-seeking-to-legalize-prostitution</a><br />
<br />
Sheldon Adelson, the billionaire trying to get prostitution legalized in this country, who is obviously supportive of what Maxine is doing, is a union buster. <a href="http://www.peoplesworld.org/billionaire-casino-owner-adelson-takes-aim-at-unions/">http://www.peoplesworld.org/billionaire-casino-owner-adelson-takes-aim-at-unions/</a><br />
<br />
I never opposed brothels in California when I defeated Joe in 1988 - I opposed the workers had no union nor advocate. Same for when they wanted to expand into Las Vegas twice and I opposed them and won. So while Maxine and Domina Elle are pushing legalization, and trying to attack me personally - they're also trying to attack someone supportive of unionizing sex workers. <br />
<br />
Relativity Media also took investors money based on "8 Minutes" being a reality show. So they were screaming fraud also - and Ryan had to back them down by saying he wasn't. So he couldn't have me running around saying he was.<br />
<br />
THIS is how the modern pimps fight. In the streets they get their "bottom bitch" to do their fighting and threatening. Online - they get Domina Elle, Maxine Doogan, Christina Parriera, etc. <br />
<br />
Don't know what or who to believe?<br />
<br />
I have clips spanning 30 years at <a href="http://www.hightechmadam.com/">www.hightechmadam.com</a><br />
<br />
There are two sites online bashing me. BOTH set up in 2015 by Domina Elle. Both written by her with clips and screenshots she claims are mine.<br />
<br />
Meaning she's violated my privacy while attacking me for supposedly doing the same to Kamylla. You are also reading she drove by my address listed online to see if it was where I lived. <br />
<br />
So who is threatening and violating the privacy of who here?<br />
<br />
Do you see any others posted before or after attacking me than hers by anyone else?<br />
<br />
John Quinones came to visit me and liked what he saw. So did Bob Herbert. So did the findings of Sharon Oselin's 10 year study "Leaving Prostitution". <br />
<br />
So you take a look at this and I think any person who can read can figure out what's going on here.<br />
<br />
She's also begging me to sue her. I won't. What give her a date and time where I'm going to be? Don't think so. Anyone with half a brain can see what those sites are.<br />
<br />
No different than when I had stashed a woman in a safe house in 1984 and the pimp retaliated by calling the cops and claiming I was "running a brothel" and got me arrested.<br />
<br />
Pimps retaliate.<br />
<br />
Means I'm doing my job.<br />
<br />
If I can't expose a poser how would I keep a pimp plant out of our meetings? Think about it. They cleaned up on fund raisers, grants, investors and supports to legalize prostitution WITHOUT unionizing. <br />
<br />
And I'm the predator?<br />

<br />
Do you want to know what fighting modern sex trafficking looks like in America? Back in 2013, a Chinese woman came to me about being trafficked. Details about that case are here <a href="http://sanitytodayonline.blogspot.com/2015/05/the-sound-of-music-and-pasadena.html" target="_blank">- http://sanitytodayonline.blogspot.com/2015/05/the-sound-of-music-and-pasadena.html</a> I had never worked on an Asian case before because I don't speak Mandarin. However, this woman spoke English so I was able to speak to her about what was happening to her, and other women who couldn't speak English. <br />
<br />
When I initially went to the Pasadena Chief of Police about her supposed false arrests - I was ignored. I then went to LAPD and was ignored. After that, I then went to Internal Affairs, Homeland Security, the Attorney General, politicians, and the list went on about every door that I went to who was ignoring me. No one wanted to talk to me about a woman drug out of her home by two cops in front of her mother and son and then supposedly slapped with fake prostitution cases and death back in China after being deported if she didn't go "back to work" as a prostitute. <br />
<br />
Did I let that stop me? No.<br />
<br />
In fact, I made a list of who I could write to about this case I hadn't written yet and started checking off names. So also in 2013, I wrote a letter to the Chinese government about what was going on. <br />
<br />
Note the date of Liang Yaohui being arrested. <a href="https://thenanfang.com/npc-member-latest-casualty-of-dongguan-prostitution-crackdown/">https://thenanfang.com/npc-member-latest-casualty-of-dongguan-prostitution-crackdown/</a> It's 2014 - a year after my letter was sent. <br />
<br />
After the Pasadena Chief of Police ignored me, I then went to the city business manager. Then I did yes have the Chief start calling me five times a day literally asking me to "come in and speak to him in person" about this case.<br />
<br />
I told him there would be no point until he had understood the depth of this case and to get a copy of the files from the Wichita authorities before I came in to talk to him about it. I told him I'd wait two weeks to come in to give him time to get, and read, the Wichita files. That way he'd know what I was talking about in our meeting.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.justice.gov/usao-ks/pr/three-charged-sex-trafficking-wichita-massage-parlors">https://www.justice.gov/usao-ks/pr/three-charged-sex-trafficking-wichita-massage-parlors</a> This is the case I was referring to.<br />
<br />
Six months after this woman had reached out to me - this case in Wichita went down. <br />
<br />
However, the back story was the arresting officer in Wichita had heard about "Operation Dollhouse" in 2007. <a href="http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/SAN-MATEO-COUNTY-Two-lawmen-caught-in-raid-of-2563465.php">http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/SAN-MATEO-COUNTY-Two-lawmen-caught-in-raid-of-2563465.php</a> This case happened after I had been ignored by Chief Gillispie, and threatened by an FBI agent. <br />
<br />
So I brought in a reporter to check out my accusation about sex trafficking in Las Vegas and corruption. The reporter asked for a "ride along" to a stake-out. Then pushed for a surprise raid. The result was this case. <br />
<br />
However, please note the reporter's name, nor my name were in any of the press at the time. I was told by both a reporter at the Sun, and the Review Journal, they had been told there was a "ban on printing" my name, or the name of Sex Workers Anonymous. So despite trying to get someone in the press to talk to me about "Operation Dollhouse" and the fact Vegas was only one stop in their network which spanned the country - no one would and the charges against the two cops were dropped. <br />
<br />
Please note further Greg Munks, one of the officers, was also on the San Mateo police force. <br />
<br />
So the Wichita cop had started trying to get them arrested in 2009 after a long investigation. Only it wouldn't work because to quote him "he had too much interference from the local police". So he says he waited until he retired from the police force, to go to work for zoning, and that's where he was working when he got this case pulled together. <br />
<br />
This was his first attempt in 2009 -<a href="https://www.fbi.gov/kansascity/press-releases/2009/kc101409.htm">https://www.fbi.gov/kansascity/press-releases/2009/kc101409.htm</a><br />
<br />
I figured if I asked the Pasadena Chief of Police if he had the Wichita files - he might lie to me and say "yes" when he hadn't. So after about a week had passed - I contacted the Wichita police, prosecutor, and court. They each told me that "no one from Pasadena has called to see that file".<br />
<br />
At the same EXACT time the Pasadena Chief is calling to have me "come down" to talk to him, a private investigator from San Mateo appears on the radar. Please note Woodall Investigations also is a "K9 Handler". <a href="https://www.thumbtack.com/ca/san-jose/private-investigators/investigation-services">https://www.thumbtack.com/ca/san-jose/private-investigators/investigation-services</a><br />
<br />
Ms. Woodall was listed in San Mateo at the time she started speaking to me in trafficking groups on Linkedin. Yes I screenshot this activity. Only she didn't know me from Adam - yet every time I'd make a comment to anything about trafficking in Linkedin groups - she'd pop in right under me with "you're crazy". I'd post something and she'd comment "you're crazy". Even to the point of one time saying "you're 5150 and need to be locked up".<br />
<br />
Notice her resume says she "assisted anti-trafficking task force", i.e., Greg Munks who is on the trafficking task force in San Mateo <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/SandraWoodall/sandra-woodall-resume-1220151" target="_blank"> http://www.slideshare.net/SandraWoodall/sandra-woodall-resume-1220151</a><br />
<br />
Notice on page 5 of her resume it says she is a "member of the Defenders Shield Team" and again she works with the K9 unit. Greg Munks also runs a program for inmates and dogs. <a href="http://www.mercurynews.com/ci_18456921">http://www.mercurynews.com/ci_18456921</a><br />
<br />
Greg Munks had one person run against him for office after Operation Dollhouse, Juan Lopez. <a href="http://www.smdailyjournal.com/articles/lnews/2014-11-15/jail-workers-snagged-for-contraband-former-sheriff-candidate-others-arrested-for-sneaking-phone-and-drugs-to-inmate/1776425133421.html">http://www.smdailyjournal.com/articles/lnews/2014-11-15/jail-workers-snagged-for-contraband-former-sheriff-candidate-others-arrested-for-sneaking-phone-and-drugs-to-inmate/1776425133421.html</a> <br />
<br />
One thing NOT noted in this article however is the phone in question which was "smuggled into the jail" was supposedly a phone that an informant who had been "lost" in the jail used to call the FBI agent and let her know where he was. <br />
<br />
In other words THIS phone <a href="http://www.dailynews.com/general-news/20160406/paul-tanaka-is-found-guilty-of-corruption-charges">http://www.dailynews.com/general-news/20160406/paul-tanaka-is-found-guilty-of-corruption-charges</a><br />
<br />
Back to Ms. Woodall - when in these Linkedin groups for trafficking topics I started noticing a pattern. Not only would she respond to everything I said with a response of "you're crazy" but she started calling people I was talking to and TELLING them "Jody is crazy" essentially. <br />
<br />
I learned of this by people calling me to tell me of this and either letting me hear her voice messages, which I recorded, or sending me her emails, which I saved. Without exception, anyone I so much as said one word to online - she was on them with telling them to "stay away from Jody" and "Jody is crazy". I'd like to add I've never spoken to the woman before this same week that the Pasadena Chief was calling me to "come down to the station" and talk to him in person.<br />
<br />
So I called Dan who founded the Defenders and asked him not only why this woman was attacking me this way, and stalking me online, but further why was she not helping me with this Pasadena Asian woman's case? <br />
<br />
I mean if she's such an "anti-trafficking advocate" why was she not only attacking me, but also refusing my attempts to ask for her help with what this woman was telling me was going on not just in Pasadena, and not just Wichita, but also San Mateo? <br />
<br />
In fact, one of the pimps convicted in the Wichita case not only owns property in Pasadena, but he also has a website up offering Asian prostitutes in San Mateo which I saved. When I asked Ms. Woodall if instead of spending her time attacking me if she'd like to go check out this San Mateo address where trafficking victims were supposedly being forced to prostitute - she'd refuse.<br />
<br />
Anyway, Dan tells me she was NOT a member of the Defenders as her resume says, and he had "only talked to her once on the phone". The day after he told me this he then calls me up and says "she just called me and told me you're crazy and if I 'value my reputation in the field' I'll stop speaking to you entirely". <br />
<br />
Well isn't that interesting because I've worked with Dan on past cases when we've needed his type of help and now she's not only stalking me, attacking me, and refusing to help me with a San Mateo case, but now she's trying to get Dan to stop helping our victims? Interesting. <br />
<br />
Also at this same EXACT time I have Meg (Margaret) Munoz, who is simultaneously running Abeni with the Orange County Human Trafficking Task force AND the Orange County chapter of SWOP (Sex Workers Outreach Project) emailing me on Facebook acting very strange. (Interestingly Chief Sanchez in Pasadena resides in Orange County.) She's another woman I've never met, never spoken to, have no idea who she is. <br />
<br />
The same month this all went down was when I had served the producers of "8 Minutes" and A&E with a threat to sue them for defamation if they did not take their show off the air based on the show being faked. <br />
<br />
If it was a random operation where only Hispanic women were being called up to the hotel room working as prostitutes, and talking about how they were prostitutes because they couldn't feed their kids, their kids were taken from them, they were on drugs - and basically making it appear that all Hispanic low income women are drug addicts, prostitutes, bad mothers, etc. that's one thing. But when it's being STAGED then that's defamation of not only Hispanic women but ALSO of sex workers who they kept repeating every two minutes LITERALLY these women were "trafficking victims" over and over (I bring up repeating every two minutes because I timed it - which also interestingly is the same time Derren Brown used to brainwash his victim in the innocence experiment <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJNHQi4uTTY">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJNHQi4uTTY</a>. Meaning he kept repeating his suggestion to his victim every two minutes.)<br />
<br />
But the week after I'd served the notice, and the show was taken off the air 8 hours later, this Meg starts accusing me of having "outted the identity of the woman on the show". Which I had not done. I challenged her to show me proof of where I'd exposed anyone's identity which she could not do because I had not done it. But that doesn't shut her up. She then starts telling people online that I'm "threatening her" and "stalking her" and I'm "upset because she refused to partner with us" and I'm sitting back going WTF? I hadn't asked to partner with her nor could I. I run a 12 step group and therefore we CAN'T partner with anyone. <br />
<br />
Then she escalates and sends Domina Elle to go by our post box address who then verifies it's not my house in a slam then posted on us at www.sexworkersanonymous.org Well now you know why we don't have an office and I don't post my home address online. Meg was asking anyone if they knew where I lived so they could "send someone out to arrest me" for these supposed threats I'm making against her.<br />
<br />
My response? I sent a letter to both of them saying I was going to file a complaint for defamation if they continued lying about me online, and I'd further get a TRO filed against them to make sure they didn't come near me. I further told Ms. Woodall I would file a complaint against her PI license letting them know she found it more productive to follow my IP activity to stalk and defame me for 8 hours a day INSTEAD of taking a look at how this transnational sex trafficking operation had women in San Mateo they were trafficking while claiming to be helping trafficking victims in her marketing.<br />
<br />
They both stopped.<br />
<br />
However, I'm still now getting calls from Chief Sanchez's assistant now asking me to come down to talk to them. I told her I'd "come in once he had the Wichita files" and to let me know once they did and then I'd come in. What's the point otherwise? I then contacted Wichita again to follow-up and they said "nope - no one from Pasadena has called". <br />
<br />
Making me think "why does he want me to come in so badly?" Ironically, this was about the same time as Sandra Bland was found dead in her cell. <a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/ex-texas-charged-sandra-bland-death-court-article-1.2573954">http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/ex-texas-charged-sandra-bland-death-court-article-1.2573954</a> Especially after hearing she was pulled over by a cop while being a known advocate against police wrongdoing and then she's found dead hung in her jail like a long list of people before her it seems.<br />
<br />
Needless to say - I thought twice about going into the Pasadena station without an escort of some kind like a reporter or the media. <br />
<br />
But that didn't mean I was out of ideas. If Homeland Security was going to ignore me - well how about the LAX security?<br />
<br />
So I wrote <a href="https://www.tsa.gov/">https://www.tsa.gov/</a> and told them this ring was bringing in women from China who were between 40 and 55 years of age to be trafficked in the USA and to be "on alert". <br />
<br />
Which is at the same time they switched from Chinese to Korean women. <a href="http://www.bellevuereporter.com/news/365214201.html" target="_blank"> http://www.bellevuereporter.com/news/365214201.html</a> Meaning someone from Homeland Security had to know about the letter I sent. <br />
<br />
So if the police had Internal Affairs, I thought "well Homeland Security must have someone who checks into what they're doing". Which is the Office of Public Responsibility. So I wrote them.<br />
<br />
I invite you to read the part where it says here that about a year ago the "Office of Public Responsibility conducted the investigation in this case" against Joohoon David Lee. <a href="https://www.justice.gov/usao-cdca/pr/former-hsi-special-agent-pleads-guilty-taking-bribes-korean-businessman-being">https://www.justice.gov/usao-cdca/pr/former-hsi-special-agent-pleads-guilty-taking-bribes-korean-businessman-being</a><br />
<br />
Probably had nothing to do with my letter to them about a trafficking operation which was bringing women in through LAX to staff massage parlors, licensed legal massage parlors who did NOT advertise on Backpage, who also had stops in their network in San Mateo, and Las Vegas, as well as other states going clear back to New York. <a href="http://nypost.com/2015/04/05/inside-the-1-billion-business-of-erotic-massage-parlors/">http://nypost.com/2015/04/05/inside-the-1-billion-business-of-erotic-massage-parlors/</a><br />
<br />
Now I had someone who had retired from Homeland Security tell me "Joohoon David Lee was an isolated bad apple" and there was no "systemic corruption within Homeland Security requiring any special investigation or measures".<br />
<br />
Really?<br />
<br />
It began and ended with him? Impressive.<br />
<br />
What do you think?<br />
<br />

Dear Ms. May:</div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; padding: 0px !important;">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; padding: 0px !important;">
I thought I should introduce myself since it appears you don’t seem to have any researchers who would tell you there has been a hotline operating to help trafficking victims in the UK already for 30 years now this August. In 1987, I launched the hotline for what was originally called “Prostitutes Anonymous”. You can read about this at <a href="http://www.hightechmadam.com/" target="_blank">www.hightechmadam.com</a> You can already read there about my arrest in 1984. The arrest was over the first safe house for adults in the USA. I had to take matters into my own hands to do this because the world in 1984 didn’t believe sex trafficking was real. I had just watched Linda Lovelace try everything in her power to make people believe she had been forced to film “Deep Throat” and to prostitute by her husband/pimp on a mob financed film, not a porn, but a mob financed film, only to have no one believe her. I watched as the anti-porn people sucked her up to try and stamp out pornography rather than to address the issue of being forced and knew that we weren’t accomplishing anything.</div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; padding: 0px !important;">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; padding: 0px !important;">
So I decided to just open a safe house myself. The victim who had just had her arm and nose broken by her pimp I had housed in the warehouse retaliated by calling the cops and claiming I was running a brothel. She testified against him and my charges were dropped, but I realized then I couldn’t operate in a bubble. I’d have to raise awareness, and change the laws, because back then we were ONLY and solely viewed as either the “Happy Hooker” or a criminal with nothing inbetween. So in August of 1987, we launched the first worldwide hotline along with our 12 step program. We chose a 12 step program because of law already established by Alcoholics Anonymous. These laws gave us confidentiality to our callers, and our members, as well as allowed any court to have any judge allow someone to attend our program instead of jail if they saw fit. </div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; padding: 0px !important;">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; padding: 0px !important;">
In 1988, then Mayor Tom Bradley came to me and we created the first ever task force. He gave us one member from each department from Sheriff Block, Chief Gates, the CDC, the mental health department, prosecutor’s office, social services, probation, etc. A special testing site was established for sex workers. This site not only allowed for anonymous HIV testing – but also had a backdoor for those who were being forced by a pimp. As for those being trafficked, the mayor understood they were the most likely to be infected, posed the highest public health risk, and was unlikely to come walking in the door to be tested.</div>

So he gave us a team of people from the health department, the zoning department, and the prosecutor’s office to go out and start doing surprise inspections to the local massage parlors, strip clubs, bath house’s, swinger’s clubs, sex clubs, etc. We made it very clear we were not going to use condom as “evidence of prostitution” to arrest anyone. We went over “safe sex”practice’s and also would inspect for signs of trafficking. Through this project, we were able to start freeing a lot of these victims. Who of course needed housing, medical insurance, vocational rehabilitation, etc. So he helped us coordinate with HUD, Medicare, the state vocational rehabilitation office, local drug treatment programs, etc.</div>

We found an empty drug treatment program and then went into the jails and cleaned out first any pregnant HIV positive prostitutes, then the mothers, and transgenders who were at high risk of rape and violence in the mens’ jail. We put them into the first residential program for adults this way. Once we got that done, we then went to the courts and started diversion and alternative sentencing programs. We cleared out 1800 female prostitute out of a jail that had housed 2000 – and thus saved the county over a million dollars this way. </div>

A jail step study program was created for those on other charges who couldn’t be released. I got a letter from a woman in Phoenix who told me she’d been arrested 51 times and wanted to stop. So I sent her our jail study program. When she got out of jail, she turned around and took our “Prostitutes Anonymous” meetings right back into the jail. The work was so successful, Catholic Charities came to her and they created the Dignity Project. They had to because these women had no where to go when released from jail other than to prostitute. This then made them vulnerable to pimps and traffickers. So they needed housing. The Dignity house still has weekly 12 step meetings of our program where they work out of our “Recovery Guide” we created after working with over 2,000 men and women over a five year period of time. Thus we wrote the first, and only, book on how to escape and recover from the sex industry. Kathleen Mitchell was that woman who had broken her anonymity at the level of press so I’m not violating her anonymity by speaking her name.</div>

Why do I make a distinction between pimping and trafficking? Back in the 1980’s if you had a pimp – guess what? You called 911 and he was arrested. Problem solved. There were laws on the books for that then. What we didn’t have laws on the books for was trafficking. Trafficking like I witnessed with Chuck Barris. He was producing the “Dating Game” then and would recruit girls from the local prostitutes. Then when some would win a date – they never came back home. No one would have believed then he was a CIA agent, nor he was trafficking women for the CIA either. </div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; padding: 0px !important;">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; padding: 0px !important;">
Guess what? No laws on the books to make what he was doing a crime. I invite you to watch this Bruce Lee video clip from 1973 where he tries to bring this to the world’s attention – there were no laws against this. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PGjCWpbt4U" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PGjCWpbt4U</a> I was watching Iran Contra during the 1980’s in Los Angeles and I also had the CIA ask me to sell them women. When I refused they threatened to ship me off on one of those plane’s. </div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; padding: 0px !important;">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; padding: 0px !important;">
Where do you go then? Where do you go when no one even believes that’s real? After witnessing a shipment of women leaving LAX on a diplomat’s plane with me not able to stop them – I started having anxiety attacks. I sought counseling who told me I needed to “talk about what was bothering me”. I did and they tried to lock me up for psychiatric observation. The therapist said I must be hallucinating because “things like that aren’t real”. Now how do we get help from either the police, or the mental health system if they don’t even believe it’s real. Even more to the point – how do we create a law if no one believes this is real.</div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; padding: 0px !important;">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; padding: 0px !important;">
THAT’S why we started embarking upon a major media campaign. I started bringing survivors of this type of trafficking on Sally Jesse Raphael, Geraldo, Maury, Donahue, Jerry, Oprah – any and every news show, tabloid show, talk show, etc., we could find. We had public access TV then as it was before the Telecommunications Act of 1995 – so weekly we’d appear on public access TV on cable talking about how this was real and how we needed legal recognition. Why? Because victim services was refusing to help prostitutes who were raped, or victims of domestic violence, because we were viewed only and solely as “criminals”. </div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; padding: 0px !important;">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; padding: 0px !important;">
I then got calls from 22 attorney general’s. The same ones fired by Bush for no stated reason. They said they wanted to work on getting the Trafficking Act of 2000 passed giving us federal recognition. They told us this would give us the money to get grants going to open up shelters, and programs, and spread our hotline, our program, our work across the whole USA. </div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; padding: 0px !important;">

<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; padding: 0px !important;">
In 1989, I got asked by Allentown, PA to bring to them what we’d brought to Los Angeles. We opened the “Program for Female Offenders” which was extremely successful. So successful we got a call from Vancouver Canada to help them open the first drop in crisis center and program which we helped Paige Latin launch in 1994. Her program later became PACE and PEERS. </div>

<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; padding: 0px !important;">
So by 1999, we had chapters of our program which we renamed to “Sex Workers Anonymous” after the internet was born in every major city of the USA, and in three countries in Canada. Our hotline was processing calls from Ireland, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Amsterdam – you name it. Why? We were the ONLY hotline to call if you wanted help to leave any part of the sex industry.</div>

Realize Ms. May that the term “trafficking victim” wasn’t even officially launched into the language until actually 2008 when Shared Hope released a report I had helped them write with the help of Melissa Farley. This is a term made up by people who want to make some kind of “distinction” between one type of victim over another. See, we broke through the barrier and got people to believe this was happening – trafficking was real. But when we did this we weren’t talking about street corner pimps. We were talking about men who were cops, CIA, and now even Homeland Security. In other words, men who were in position of authority forcing us into the sex industry. </div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; padding: 0px !important;">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; padding: 0px !important;">
THAT’S what we needed special help to get away from. I can’t take a woman who is being forced into sex work by a cop and put her in a local shelter ran by the Salvation Army. It won’t work. She won’t live. These types of victims have a long history of “suicides” or “accidents” – especially in jail. I can give you a long list of names – including myself. I was dodging so many death threats myself during my arrest that’s why the prosecutor gave me the name “Rene Le Blanc” so I could go in and out of my court hearings without being murdered on the courthouse steps through their liability. </div>

Ms. May you may not remember when the tobacco industry was lying to the public about their product. They lied to Congress even. They not only used to say their product wasn’t harmful, addictive nor caused cancer – but they buy up their own research to try and prove it. They even had these campaigns where they appeared to care about us like with their “youth prevention campaign” which in reality was about marketing. </div>

Right now even the author of the Trafficking Act of 2000, Michael Horowitz, has said this movement has been hijacked out from under us by people seeking money. Polaris is simply gathering data. They do not have survivors answering the phone as we do. They have no program. They tell callers to call the local trafficking task forces or programs anyone could look up on Google or the yellow page’s. Worst of all? Trafficking victims can’t call for help – that’s the very definition. IN THEIR OWN MEDIA they have admitted that up until 2013 their billboards, hotlines, etc., HAD NOT RESULTED IN ONE SINGLE RESCUE. </div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; padding: 0px !important;">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; padding: 0px !important;">
When Polaris launched their hotline in 2002, they started preparing with Randall Tobias and George Bush for the TVRA of 2003. This was a revision designed to wipe us out totally. What this revision did was (1) take all money for this work and give it to the church of which we are not a church and our research had proven that not one single faith based program had ever worked (not like ours had), and (2) it said that anyone who got money could NOT have any dealings with any person or group who did not express the view that all prostitution was rape essentially. That anyone who said “sex work was work” was on the “Forbidden” list. </div>

Well that creates a huge problem. Because in the mining industry – you have trafficking victims. In the construction industry – you have trafficking victims. In the restaurant and hotel business – you have trafficking victims. IN ANY INDUSTRY you have a segment who are being trafficked. No I do not believe that a woman who is a stripper, and thus in the sex industry, is a RAPE victim. Nor do I believe the strip club OWNER who runs that club who is in the sex industry is a RAPE victim. Such a statement says that prostitution, or the act of sex for money, is all there is and all you have to pull a victim out of.</div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; padding: 0px !important;">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; padding: 0px !important;">
Would you like to know why? Because right now I’ve got members of our program who are employed by shelters who receive government funding who are instructed to “stand down” and do nothing when the pimps come by and take the women to go to work at the strip clubs, or even on porn shoots. Why? Because IT’S LEGAL. Polaris is part of a huge campaign to make people THINK, through major propaganda, that every prostitute is a “trafficking victim”. Only that’s not the case. Over 90 percent of men and women who work as prostitutes are “independent” and have no pimp and no trafficker. None. They set up ads on the Erotic Review, and they work by themselves for themselves. Polaris however came out against legal prostitution in Rhode Island BUT NOT NEVADA. They did this through a report co-written by Katherine Chon, Bradley Myles wife, and Derek Ellerman. Derek Ellerman “owes his career to Ron Paul”. Ron Paul’s career is financed heavily by Dennis Hof, the legal brothel owner in Nevada. So what Katherine did was SHUT DOWN DENNIS’ COMPETITION.</div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; padding: 0px !important;">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; padding: 0px !important;">
In fact, every site they’ve been a part of shutting down has been Dennis’ competition. Right now in this country I can show you case after case after case where people have gone to these task forces that have been set up with money given to them by Katherine Chon out of the Office of Trafficking in Persons that wouldn’t exist without the work I put into creating that office, and they are not only not arresting “traffickers”, but they are only arresting Dennis’ competition, and further involved in trafficking themselves. I can point you literally to case after case clear up to men like Joohoon David Lee, a Homeland Security agent, who was actively using his position to traffick women, and also shutting down either innocent bystanders to look busy, or their “competitor’s” who are the “independents”. </div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; padding: 0px !important;">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; padding: 0px !important;">
Polaris doesn’t want the information that’s coming into our hotline to be released, or even heard. Why? Because we caught them red handed, and have documented proof, they created a whole campaign of false trafficking in Ireland. Why? To get money to set up an office and a hotline that’s why. I have a group of members in Ireland who were reporting to me there was no trafficking there because there was no money there. No point. They also were reporting to me they were witnessing “staged” trafficking to time right with the press to make it appear there was trafficking going on that wasn’t going on normally. </div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; padding: 0px !important;">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; padding: 0px !important;">
When the TVRA of 2003 came out – anyone who had a job or a license coming out of the government shut us out in fear of losing their funding. That was their exact words also. Katherine Chon not only is in charge of the department funding anything to do with trafficking, who makes sure her husband gets the juiciest contracts, but also is part of the HHS, the National Institute on Mental Health, and every other governmental agency. Meaning that starting in 2003 – we had every counselor, social worker, probation officer, etc., who had been working with us effectively from 1987 to 2003 – was fired. In Nevada because the mayor was leading a campaign to bring legal brothels to downtown Las Vegas – every single cop, probation officer, social worker, etc., was told if they even spoke to us they’d be fired. </div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; padding: 0px !important;">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; padding: 0px !important;">
All because our definitions are very different as to what trafficking is and who needs help. If you look at any research report out there, or speak to anyone in the field, they’ll tell you the victims themselves don’t self identify as “trafficking victims”. They identify as “prostitutes” or “sex workers’. Which is why Polaris has answered about 100,000 calls to date and we’ve answered 500,000 calls. We put out there if you want to leave any part of sex work for any reason – call us. So we get five times more calls than they do for that reason. As for those pimped – many don’t even realize they were forced until we get them out of there. No different than Patty Hearst as an example. When they arrested her for robbing a bank – she didn’t think she was a “brainwashing victim”. It took her time away and deprogramming before she could realize that.</div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; padding: 0px !important;">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; padding: 0px !important;">
When we exposed the cases coming out of Ireland were staged and faked – that’s when Polaris got aggressive about getting our hotline shut down. You know why? Because we not only contradict a lot of information coming out of their hotline, but we further release information they don’t want heard. Such as we’re getting calls from women inside shelters who tell us they’re still being “pimped” but because it’s “legal” that they can’t do anything to stop them. </div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; padding: 0px !important;">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; padding: 0px !important;">
Plus there’s a bit of conflict of interest here. Polaris has partnered with Google. Google has introduced Oculus. Oculus is a 3D virtual porn application. Now the women working as performers on the other end of the camera are “legal”. However, this does not mean they aren’t “trafficked”. When Jeane Palfrey, the DC Madam, released her Black Book, the names of men like Randall Tobias was NOT as her “john” but as her “trafficker”. Now if a high class madam could be considered a trafficking victim by MY definition, but not Polaris – then you see the conflict. Why not Polaris? Because Polaris has the victim themselves call. They’re then turned over to the police for processing basically as each “task force” is headed by the local police. </div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; padding: 0px !important;">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; padding: 0px !important;">
Now – how would Jeane Palfrey call Polaris? First, there’s no point in her calling. What are they going to do? Refer her to the police? She’s claiming men like Randall Tobias, David Vitter, and other names in the CIA and White House are forcing her to madam to help further their government projects. So what – she’s going to call someone to get a bed in the local Salvation Army? I don’t think so. Nor could the women at the DEA owned strip club call the Polaris hotline, nor the woman trafficked by a Homeland Security agent. </div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; padding: 0px !important;">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; padding: 0px !important;">
In our country Ms. May we have a concept called “competition”. The reason why we have competition is that usually two competing companies keep each other honest. What Polaris has done by controlling the purse strings of this movement, and by partnering with deep pockets who don’t want to see their legal sex business scrutinized for trafficking victims such as Google/Oculus, and also Palantir Technologies, who is essentially the very CIA that many of us have said ARE THE TRAFFICKERS I charge they don’t want any information on trafficking within their circles to reach the light of day. Hence the only way to do that is to shut us down and out – who is their only competitor. </div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; padding: 0px !important;">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; padding: 0px !important;">
They moved into the UK and they got a grant from you for their hotline. A hotline that I already operate and have operated for 30 years now. Truthfully – how am I going to compete with them? When they have the sex industries deep pockets behind them and all I have are survivors who can barely get through a day clean if they’re lucky now – I can’t compete. That’s called a monopoly in our country. </div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; padding: 0px !important;">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; padding: 0px !important;">
Only who am I going to get to sue someone who is partnered with their partners such as Google, Palantir Technologies, and Dennis Hof who Is now running for Senate. Funded by Sheldon Adelson who has already declared he has a “prostitution agenda” to get prostitution legalized throughout this country. So what this is pure and simple is that they run an industry they don’t want anyone coming in checking them out for trafficking. They want everyone to stay focused on their COMPETITORS – who are the freelancers working illegally.</div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; padding: 0px !important;">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; padding: 0px !important;">
If I’m wrong – then they would have told you about us right? Since I’ve not gotten any phone calls from you I don’t think so. If I’m wrong – then why haven’t they even asked that their hotline phone number be posted in the legal brothels of Nevada? Yes they’ve made a huge media splash about having the hotline posted in some “sex related business” in some states such as SB1193 in California. Only I’ve tried getting that law enforced and guess what? There’s no plan in place to enforce it. I walk into a strip club in California and I see they have no signs posted. Then what? There’s no one to report this to and no one knows anything about who even issues the citation. This was a publicity stunt pure and simple and it worked. You forked over how much to them? </div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; padding: 0px !important;">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; padding: 0px !important;">
For what might I ask? When we get a call from someone who wants out of the sex industry – we refer them to our program. A fine one. If you read Sharon Oselin’s 10 year study “Leaving Prostitution” we have a great program. Independent journalists have investigated us and written wonderful things about us including John Quinones from ABC. Oprah gave a grant and a two hour documentary to our Chicago chapter. I have interviews up at <a href="http://www.leavingtheliferadio.com/" target="_blank">www.leavingtheliferadio.com</a> talking about how we helped them. </div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; padding: 0px !important;">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; padding: 0px !important;">
If they’re being trafficked or pimped or need help to leave – we have a separate program which goes into effect to organize their rescue. I’ve been working on a project right now since 2007 where I can show you a string of arrests we’ve helped to get done against the “League” who was part of the operation that Joohoon Lee was with, and goes clear back to China with Liang Yaohui. We’ve helped release many victims who would not have been able to be released otherwise because of them and the Triad trafficking them together. </div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; padding: 0px !important;">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; padding: 0px !important;">
I’ve tried working in partnership with Polaris since they opened. They refuse to acknowledge us in any public way and it’s because they’re doing everything they can to shut us down as their competition. Well I’m sorry but when the fox is in charge of the chickens – it doesn’t go well for the chickens. So I wanted to reach out to you to let you know if you want to hear any “alternative” reports of what we’re hearing out of the UK – I’d love to fill you in. We have many members and groups in the UK of our program. </div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; padding: 0px !important;">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; padding: 0px !important;">
Haven’t heard of them? Good. That means the pimps and traffickers aren’t either. That’s why we’re an “anonymous” program. Means we’re doing our job. We do our outreach to those who need us – not politicians and not people who are giving us million dollar checks. Don’t get me wrong – I’d love to but I don’t have the time. Every day I answer our hotline and I’m speaking to victims all over the world. So I don’t have time. </div>

<span data-offset-key="2cq3b-0-0">Now do you know what else they're doing with that facial recognition software? Walmart has installed facial recognition software. I suspected it when the weekend of the AVN I went shopping only to find myself pulled into a backroom for no reason and accused of shoplifting when I hadn't even LEFT THE STORE!
The loss prevention agent physically blocked me from leaving, and then spent TWO HOURS trying to find something to charge me with and have me arrested. She then told me I'd be arrested unless I signed a copyright release for my picture. When I said "bring it on" she then threatened to have my car towed which was outside with my sick kid, two dogs and a cat inside of it when my daughter can't even get home if that happened. She searched me and my purse for drugs and told me flat out she was looking for any excuse she could to have me arrested. She kept muttering how she couldn't believe I didn't have a warrant out or some record because she wanted to arrest me so badly. This woman was friends with Lt. Karen Hughes, a Metro officer in Vegas I'd filed a complaint with Internal Affairs about because she was blocking attempts of victims to reach out to us for help, and also chasing off other officers off the force who were letting us get them to safety instead of recruiting them to the Bunny Ranch as she was doing. </span></div>

<br />
So I added him, and then tried to open up a dialogue about the trainings we wanted to see done by the Office of Victims of Training. I got no response from him at all to anything I sent him. You can see how he's listed for his job there below. This is taken from a group on Facebook about sex trafficking I'd joined called "Slave Rescue". <br />

The last four posts I sent "Slave Rescue" were not posted for some reason. I went to speak to the admin to find out why and I couldn't find a name for an admin. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I then went to see who was in this group to get a better idea what was going on, and saw John's name as a member of this group. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Only his name rang a bell. I'd also seen his name on the SWOP blog asking for books to be sent to him to be sent to inmates. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Over the last year, I've seen SWOP "recruiting" for the porn industry, the legal brothels, and the strip clubs by targeting inmates while still incarcerated. Why? Because then you know they're not an informant - that's why. I was shown this as their reasoning by the traffickers I had tried to expose during "Operation Dollhouse". It was that operation who showed me why they used guards to help them target inmates for their trafficking because then they didn't have to worry about undercover cops exposing what they were doing. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
What I've been told by inmates who have written to us is SWOP has started holding fund raisers for them while incarcerated. They use the Cupcake Girls to help them accomplish this through their 501c3. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is what the inmates who write to us report is that SWOP is using the fund raisers to connect them to the sex workers to "recruit" them back into the sex industry on the outside. </div>

We are now battling for sex workers at the prison doors. What I mean is we normally get a letter from an inmate who has heard about us from the jail chaplain. They say they want to quit the sex industry as was the famous case of Kathleen Mitchell. She wrote us from jail about 1989 and we sent her our step study program for inmates. She was able to work her steps while in jail, and upon release she then got on her own two feet. From there, she took a meeting of our 12 step program back into the Durango Jail. That developed into the Dignity Project which has operated out of Phoenix for over 22 years now. <a href="http://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/news/ex-prostitutes-who-proselytize-6431069">http://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/news/ex-prostitutes-who-proselytize-6431069</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
NOW we're being told by inmates "well SWOP is offering to put together a fund raiser for me so I'll have $5000 cash when I get released. They're offering to pay for my lawyer, and another sex worker is going to meet me at the jail door when I'm released to take me where I can go back to work in the sex industry". </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We have lawyers who DONATE their time to any sex worker who meets our "third tradition" requirement for membership, which is a "desire to leave the sex industry". No we do not provide free lawyers to men, women or transgenders who are telling us they have no desire to get clean from drugs, nor to leave sex work - legal or illegal. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To me that's just throwing good money after bad - especially if they're already in jail now. To take someone from jail and put them back into sex work, and around a non-sober environment - is just going to send them right back to jail or worse. So clearly whoever is doing this is NOT doing in the best interest of the inmate. There is clearly a furthering of agenda here and from what I'm hearing it's they're being recruited back into the sex industry by people who are profiting from this, i.e., traffickers, pimps, and predators. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But I ask you - how am I now supposed to compete with an inmate telling me "well why should I go with your program when you're talking to me about getting clean, and working a job, and going back to school when I can go this way with SWOP and grab this cash and go have me a party when I get released?"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>I can't.</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So I wrote to John Meekins and asked him if instead of providing books on sex workers rights and which glamorize the sex industry if he'd work with us to get "Recovery Guides" for our 12 step program, Sex Workers Anonymous, to the inmates if not instead of their books, then at least on equal footing and offer the inmate BOTH. We have our "Recovery Guide" we can send them, along with maybe our jail step study workbook like we sent Kathleen, or even our newsletters which we could send to the inmates monthly. In the newsletters we send to inmates now - we ask them to submit their stories on topics like why they want to quit the sex industry, what their plans are for the future, how they're going to get rid of any pimps they might be dealing with, and things like that. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We got no answer from John and it's been a month now.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Strange. If his goal was to provide books to inmates - wouldn't he be interested in MORE books to give inmates? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Because it's one or the other. If John just wants to recruit reading materials for these sex workers behind bars, then he'd welcome our materials too. However, if he's got an agenda of some kind, then he would refute us the way he is doing now. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So what's up? What's the agenda? Turns out John belongs to an anti-trafficking group "End Slavery". Strange considering how much SWOP rants and rages against "trafficking" groups like "End Slavery". <a href="http://www.endslaverynow.org/blog/articles/human-trafficking-behind-bars-and-beyond">http://www.endslaverynow.org/blog/articles/human-trafficking-behind-bars-and-beyond</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So I'm confused. First, I'm confused why SWOP is working with John Meekins of "End Slavery Now" when he's supposedly representing everything they're objecting to, while at the same time attacking anyone who wants anything to do with us who is simply, and only, a program which does nothing other than provide exit services for those who have asked for help from us to do so. In other words, you don't see AA going into bars dragging drunks off stools. Neither do we go crashing into the industry dragging anyone out of anything either. But if we get a call they want help - then we help. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But us - no. John - yes. I'm confused. In trying to find out why they're partnering with him instead of even leaving us alone I'd be happy with instead of the constant attacks - I see he's on the board for "End Slavery" and also an ambassador for "Shared Hope" (a name we keep seeing every time we find out someone isn't what they're pretending to be like Samoly Mam, Chong Kim, William Hillar, or a Kevin Brown) while at the same time working with SWOP to get books to inmates? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Another side note about Shared Hope, when Melissa Farley came to us about doing the report on our work in 2007 for the press conference we gave you can read about at www.hightechmadam.com Melissa was also studying HOW we do our work. Which means Melissa also learned we were getting our members through our jail mail step study program and newsletter. She KNEW that this was how we making contact with them on the inside, and then arranging to have another recovering sex worker meet them at the door upon release, whereby we'd then help them get into housing, and jobs, and 12 meetings to get clean, and to get free legal assistance also. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So why am I not surprised some guy who is connected to Shared Hope is now found using that same technique by SWOP to recruit people back into sex work? </div>

Three guesses where the books are going? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Lowell. Where John works. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And the loop is complete.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is what you call "unfair trade practices" and "economic interference" that I've been shouting about is going on with groups like Shared Hope and SWOP at the same time. Two groups who are clearly using controversy as a means of driving press to them. Kind of like when we read Emma Watkins using the same technique to get press for her UN speech. <a href="http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2014/09/rantic-marketing-4chan-emma-watson-leak-hoax.html" target="_blank"> http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2014/09/rantic-marketing-4chan-emma-watson-leak-hoax.html</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This does explain why I keep not being even considered to speak at any of the Office of Victims of Crime trainings they put together. I'm sure John doesn't sing my praises to them. Not if he's such a supporter of SWOP. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It does make me wonder how true his allegations were against the warden however considering his ties to End Slavery AND SWOP at the same time. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But clearly his agenda is not about getting books to inmates. If it was - he could down to the nearest used book store and pick up a whole load of books for a quarter each and bring them into the inmates. And if he cares so much about their "right" to be a sex worker, then wouldn't he also care they be FULLY informed about the industry? Like maybe hearing from ex-sex workers? Real ones I mean - not Samoly Mam's?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I don't know - but the real question is why is HE an consultant for the Office of Victims of Crime while we are not? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This would be like not having Bill Wilson as a consultant to the National Council on Alcoholism, but to have a bartender as a consultant instead. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So why is that Office of Victims of Crime? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'd also like to suggest the charges against the warden be looked at very carefully. This is a man with ties to people involved in illegal prostitution who is then supposedly found contraband in the possession of prostitutes within the jail that brought the charges against him. I mean honestly if this guy cared so much about the sex workers - then why isn't he taking them news of the resources we offer and letting THEM make the choice who they want to turn to for help?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<span style="color: blue; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><i>There was an event being held in Los Angeles to discuss "fighting sex trafficking" we saw listed on the Polaris Facebook page. To protect their anonymity, some of our members will post their feelings using my account so it appears to be coming from me. This is to encourage those who are not used to expressing themselves yet in recovery to do so. Many of us have been greatly harmed when expressing our feelings by pimps who say "no one cares what you think" and other such statements. So to be "training wheels" I encourage our members who aren't quite ready yet, or who have their reasons why they don't want to, express their feelings using their own names by using my account. One of these members saw the event and got pretty upset none of us were invited to attend a meeting about "fighting sex trafficking". In fact, none of the people attending were survivors. Elaine wrote us back the comment was "harmful", "not constructive", and that if we "expressed a harmful comment again on their page we'd be blocked". She further said that the reason we weren't invited was because it was "a group of academic's who were invited - not survivors". That she felt there was a "time and place" for survivor's views evidently in this movement founded by them for them. The below was my response to Elaine about the comment we made about how we weren't included in this event, as any other. </i></span><br />

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Dear Elaine:</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I'm still not hearing an invitation to have some of our members who have been working in the area of sex trafficking for three decades now in the Los Angeles area (since we launched in Los Angeles - our oldest members live there) to be included in some of the upcoming meetings supposedly to deal with this area. </span><br />

<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
I've seen the list of people who are however attending. They are not only not survivors themselves, but put together they have less experience than one of our older members on our board. </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
Now if it's about "fighting sex trafficking" then why not?</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
I mean would you really have a meeting on "how to improve your baseball game" and not invite Babe Ruth, and others in his league? </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
People who are not dependent upon the same grant source for their paychecks?</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
And you wonder why our members are feeling shut out?</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
Remember Elaine - the way you treat us is the way you're treating survivors. Survivors who have a successful track record of helping others, and of founding this very movement. </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
Before you launch on us about the way our members are feeling, and expressing those feelings - you might want to just consider those feelings might just be valid and seeing what can be done to correct the situation. </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
Because we're definitely getting the feeling this has nothing to do with us. Doesn't include us. Refuses to include us. No - we're beginning to think this has nothing to do with us. </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<div class="gmail_quote">
<div dir="ltr">
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
By the way Elaine - you are aware we have more than one member of our program who IS an academic correct? We have not only more than one PhD on our board, and among our members, but we have in fact members who ARE researchers in this very field. Survivors who are not open in the press nor shout their survivor status - but who are survivors, and members of SWA, nonetheless. </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
I say that because you sound like you're excluding us from that meeting referenced because only "academic's" are attending. Sounding to me like you think the two are exclusionary.</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
They aren't.</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
When I had a member of our board put together the first coursework for counselors in how to work with our community in recovery, he also was PhD, who had created the first addiction studies program at Mission College in fact. This man was also the head and founder of the National Council on Sexual Addiction - focusing in on working with "john's" addiction to buying prostitutes also. </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
We also have members who are politicians, attorney's, doctors, psychiatrists, nuns, authors, and a whole host of professions and who have varying educational levels. </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
So when you say this meeting is for "academics only" in excluding some of us from being involved not just in that one meeting, but ANY of the meetings you've held or been involved with since you launched - you are aware we have members who are survivors and also academics correct?</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
Also the comment being "harmful" is ridiculous. There's no way a survivor voicing their feelings on your page is "harmful" to a group as large as Polaris. That is a subjective response and to block us is still going to be considered as blocking the views of survivors who don't sound supportive of what you're doing. Survivors can have views that aren't in alignment with yours and not only are they not "harmful" to you - but they need to be heard and expressed. </div>

Your pattern of silencing us is becoming quite apparent Elaine and if you want to act like the elephant isn't in the room - well maybe it's because you're the elephant. </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
Our views aren't ones to be "dismissed" like we're children. They are real, valid, and need to be heard and considered. </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
Or don't they?<span style="color: #500050;"> </span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #500050;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #500050;">PS - </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">Oh one thing Elaine and Jenna - the REASON why someone who IS an "academic" but might not go shouting off to the press or openly in social media they're on our board, or a member of our program, is for EXACTLY the dismissive tone you just used on us in your email, and the "assumption" that survivors aren't academics- nor completely qualified to be involved in the planning stages of things. I mean honestly Elaine - you do realize it was our work that led to the Trafficking Act of 2000 and maybe that's why our members are feeling a little slighted they weren't invited to a discussion on how "successful" the Trafficking Act of 2000 has been?</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
We were told for 13 YEARS that if we helped certain people to raise awareness about sex trafficking, that achieving federal recognition would provide US with certain benefits. We spent those 13 years, over $400,000 of our own money, and many people were cost jobs, promotions, housing, and whole careers doing the footwork to lay the foundation of that Act so we could see things we were promised happen.</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
Only what we saw was 22 US Attorney's who were involved in getting this passed fired without any explanation by George Bush. Not all of them rehired either when Obama took over. <a href="http://content.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1597085,00.html" target="_blank"> http://content.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1597085,00.html</a></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
The author of the Act himself, Michael Horowitz,has said in a 2013 interview the movement has been "hijacked" out from under the people who put it together, and who it was meant for. <a href="http://www.reviewjournal.com/news/las-vegas/nevada-movement-draws-line-human-trafficking">http://www.reviewjournal.com/news/las-vegas/nevada-movement-draws-line-human-trafficking</a></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
We then saw Randall Tobias come in with the TVRA of 2003 and take every penny of money and support WE had been promised would happen after this Act - and give that money, and thus support, over to "faith based groups". The very groups who not only were part of the problem for us, but who had just up to the year before been organizing events to chase us out of town like we were a cockroach problem. THEY were put in charge of the money to help us? </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
Jeane Palfrey, a member of SWA,revealed in her "Black Book" Tobias' name NOT as a "john" but as someone who was trafficking her. She did this not only to show she as a madam could be being forced to work in the sex industry, and for men in our own government, but also that current trafficking programs were not set up to help women like her because they weren't acknowledging HER traffickers. Nor traffickers like Joohoon David Lee who could be working in Homeland Security and Immigration while trafficking women in from Korea. With victims of men like Mr. Lee not able to go for help to the current trafficking program structure which came into being through the shaping of Polaris at the helm WITHOUT us. </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
So yeah some of around here are a little sensitive about this issue - especially seeing as Jeane was murdered in our opinion for trying to get the truth out about the "Black Book". </div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
Especially since as of today over FIVE trafficking task forces have shown to have someone on them who is in fact the trafficker of victims who can't call Polaris, because Polaris refers them back to either the taskforce again OR US.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://www.demandabolition.org/blog/ending-the-sex-trade-starts-with-holding-buyers-accountable/">https://www.demandabolition.org/blog/ending-the-sex-trade-starts-with-holding-buyers-accountable/</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For those of you watching the upswing of the "end demand" campaign - I would like you to note a few things. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In 1980 when Linda Lovelace came forward to say she'd been forced to film "Deep Throat" by her pimp holding a gun to her off camera on a mob financed adult film set where no one stepped up to help her - suddenly we see the Meese Report coming out trying to stamp out porn NOT the situations that allowed her to be forced on that film. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Did it work? Did porn go away? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hardly.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If anything, it's now everywhere right? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I've seen how Prohibition led to the speakeasy's and Al Capone became a rich man selling bootleg liquor. Did Prohibition stop drinking?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hardly.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Our program, www.sexworkersanonymous.com has been effectively helping men and women leave the sex industry for 30 years now. I've watched as Sexaholics Anonymous was helping men to stop being "customers" of prostitutes, buying pornography, etc. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Yet do you see people like Swanee Hunt - NOT promote anything to do with us. If anything, she was responsible for taking us OUT of Phoenix when she helped to create Project Rose and Division 17 through CAASE. Then when Project Rose bombed - did she come to us to restart back up the program which had been operating in Phoenix for 20 years effectively? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
No. She went out and took women who had gotten into recovery through us and created <a href="https://www.demandabolition.org/blog/gfe/">https://www.demandabolition.org/blog/gfe/</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Which got me to wondering why Domina Elle, of SWOP, would be getting money from Swanee Hunt's foundation. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It also made me think back to when big tobacco used to hold "youth prevention" campaigns to curb teen smoking which didn't do one darn thing with respect to teen smoking EXCEPT INCREASE it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now if the tobacco company went out marketing to kids - that would make them really bad guys. But if they act like they want to "prevent" it - then they care right? But in all the focus on the kids - no one is focusing on shutting the industry town then are they?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Swanee Hunt has enough education, and enough money, to know how the mind works and to hire the best marketing people in the world if she wanted to "end demand". </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
What does she do to end demand? This - <a href="https://www.demandabolition.org/">https://www.demandabolition.org/</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now take a look at Derren Brown teaching about "negative suggestion". Here's another video on it <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FH2MuYyTaGE" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FH2MuYyTaGE</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /><iframe width="320" height="266" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/FH2MuYyTaGE/0.jpg" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/FH2MuYyTaGE?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now do you really think this is what's going on here? Everywhere that Swanee is touching down - he's increasing arrests against the "johns" which isn't going to do one thing to "end demand". All it's going to do is push them into a situation where they'll be SURE TO HIRE A VICTIM in order to cover their ass just as we saw with Eliot Spitzer. In fact, he uses escorts from other countries connected to Russians he knows will be so terrified they'll even call up reporters and say they "made the whole thing up". <a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/spitzer-choke-accuser-identified-svetlana-travis-25-article-1.2532341" target="_blank"> http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/spitzer-choke-accuser-identified-svetlana-travis-25-article-1.2532341</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The REAL reason these people are creating fake Samoly Mam's, fake Chong Kim's, fake Rachel Moran's, and trot around real pain from women like Brenda Myers-Powell, INSTEAD of the woman who created the program that got Brenda off the streets (us), is to KEEP THE EYES OFF THE INDUSTRY ITSELF.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Just as big tobacco did. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Just as alcohol did.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Just as drugs did.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
All things which share they're products sold to addicts. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Just like the sex industry. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
THAT'S why they don't want you talking like the sex industry is an industry - because they don't want you putting two and two together about what they're doing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Controversy sells. We saw this with "50 Shades of Gray" and why Maxine Doogan is a very clever "influencer" hired by the sex industry to take over SWOP to ensure the INDUSTRY is protected, not the workers. That's why you never heard things like "union" out of her mouth - but you do ours. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I watched the schools growing up who had DARE running through them - and when they left suddenly most of the kids were doing drugs.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I watched the teen sex education programs swept through our schools - and then watched as some schools had most of their teens pregnant at the same time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm not a PhD and I know this - you tell someone "no" and they want it just the more. Which is what "end demand" is all about in reality.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Not "abolition". </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It about "abolition" then why do they refuse to speak to me about our battles against the legal brothels in the past, that have won? Why aren't they at the hearing to expand brothels into downtown Las Vegas we testified at ALONE and won? Why are they holding their "summits" in MISSOURI rather than NEVADA? <a href="http://exoduscry.com/abolitionsummit/">http://exoduscry.com/abolitionsummit/</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Oh they're "ending demand" alright. For their competitor's product while increasing demand for theirs. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

One of our members said to me who was over visiting "nice of them to include us". Now how do we deal with resentments? We address them by not holding onto them and nursing them but by direct confrontation. So I told her " well say something then if you're unhappy". Which she did. I then got an email back from Elaine about why she deleted it and how uncool she thought the comment was basically. Our response was below:</span></i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"><span style="color: blue;"><i><br /></i></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"><span style="color: blue;"><i><br /></i></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">Elaine - you think this is about me. It's not. </span></span></span><br />
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I run a program that's been around not only longer than yours, but made Polaris possible. I assure you back in the 1980's when we started our work no one believed trafficking was real any longer in the USA, nor did they care to. We spent 13 years of our lives, sacrificed jobs, homes, stability, relationships, in order to lay the groundwork that became the Trafficking Act of 2000. Of which the author himself, Michael Horowitz, has told the media he feels the movement has been hijacked. Out from under us Elaine.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Our hotline takes more calls than yours. We're older than yours and we've been in more countries longer than yours also. No we don't put up billboards - because that's not where the people who need us will see our number. From what I've read you aren't getting many calls from real victims off those billboards either. We get our number out in more covert manners because that's how to reach our target members. But that doesn't mean we don't exist - it just means we operate differently than you are. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Which is because we don't just take calls from trafficking victims. We take calls from anyone who wants to leave sex work for any reason - of which trafficking is one. I was organizing rescue missions back in 1984 which got me and my mother arrested and splashed all over the press as "madams". I had the government confiscate everything I owned and I spent $250,000 on a legal defense. All because the pimp of a woman I'd helped retaliated by calling the police and claiming our safe house was a brothel.</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">But when that happened - word spread and more victims reached out to us for help. Back in the 1980's before you even had a shingle on the door. We have chapters all over the USA, in Canada, and in five other countries now. We have three chapters in Australia and six meetings a week in Russia going that grew up over just six months. We've already had to send them over a Russian translation of our book. My database of current members shows 190,000. Our subscribers to our blog reads at 60,000, I've had 100,000 hits to our google hangout, and I've had over 20,000 listens on our radio program. Brenda Myers-Powell just had a documentary come out on Showtime - who attributes her early recovery to our program. As does Kathleen Mitchell who has just been involved in an art show in New York about sex trafficking. She ran meetings of our program for over 20 years in Arizona. With women coming to those meetings who now call me about their daughters. </span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">This is NOT about me. For our members to maintain their anonymity, they speak through me using my name like alcoholics do Bill Wilson. They do this when they say "hey I'm a friend of Bill W's". It doesn't mean they know Bill personally. Many of our members have to hide who they are because not only of the stigma, not only because they may have a pimp looking for them, but also because starting in 2013 we started having our members identified, targeted, stalked, and outright threatened. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">So much so I had to taken down all online groups, chat rooms, members areas, and defriend everyone off our social media that's a member because people were going in and talking them based off our social media. Making it "private" didn't help because we then had Beth Jacobs go into a private members only area, copy photos of members with their children who were hiding out from their pimps, and post these photos along with their location on the open internet. Thus it gave us no choice but to shut down any avenue something like this could be done. But just because we don't trot our members out on social media now doesn't mean they aren't there. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Many of our members have been slapped and told to "shut up" because "no one cares what you think". Some of them were told "your name is chair now" to dehumanize them. I have spent decades of my life telling our members their voice matters, they count, and that what they've gone through is important and valuable. But these members also have children, families, jobs, etc. So to protect those new lives, they ask me to make contacts for them to speak through. We work on joint projects where we sign simply as "Sex Workers Anonymous". In other words, they use me to make arrangements to be places where they can then show up. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">To get them empowered, and to get them speaking out, and to show them they have a voice and they matter, I listen to them. I then have to encourage them to tell others how they feel. Only for them this is a scary process sometimes as they have been horribly attacked often when doing so. Some have seen people murdered for speaking up about how they feel. So sometimes to encourage them and get them used to speaking at all - I assure them they can through our social media using my name. So I have an account where 20 different members may be speaking separately or together in order for me to get them used to expressing themselves. It has my name on it - but it's their voices on it combined. It's why many of the posts are so long - 10 people are all contributing to the string.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Now while I'm doing this - Polaris has consistently ignored us since the day they opened their doors. My phone calls and emails SINCE DAY ONE have been ignored. I watched as when you first launched your resource directory you listed Hookers for Jesus, BUT NOT US. Now I don't know if you saw going on in Las Vegas what we saw but if you did then you'd know what a slap in the face that was to us. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Because at that time Annie was running around in stripper costumes on the strip saying "Jesus love hookers" and talking people into money for "Destiny House". She was doing this by convincing hookers on the strip that if they came to her church and spoke she'd pay their bills. So they did. The church got donations and these women got five day notices. When they got five day notices - Annie stopped answering their calls. We then had to file the stays for these women, and then scramble around getting them work cards so we could get them legit jobs. At our expense, while Annie was sitting back collecting press and praise. We were too busy getting these women on their feet. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">But when we tried to speak to you about what was going on with her in Las Vegas - we couldn't get anyone on the phone. Your hotline continued to give her work "credibility" by the listing on your site and refer people to her who were being exploited and abused - who weren't in turn being told to contact us for help. Do you have ANY idea how many YEARS it took us just to get one listing in your resource directory? </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Which we pursued doing because people otherwise in states like Nevada were being told there was "no" resources when Pastor Perez filed bankruptcy finally and Annie ran off to Africa for a while to let the heat cool down. No we can't compete with your media exposure so you are going to get calls we don't. Then if the caller doesn't see our resource in some states - they will falsely think there's nothing. Very few think to go beyond being told by you there is "nothing else" to go onto Google to find us which is how people got through to us before you finally did list us in the directory. They told us they got told by you "nothing else exists" and then went onto Google to find us. But again since not everyone was that resourceful - we pursued you until we finally got that listing for their sake. Because in Nevada there is no other resource who will go and pick up those women out of those brothels other than us since 1996 when we first moved there for that purpose. With no bus line and no cabs - WE are their ONLY way out of there. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Polaris has not invited us to one event they've held or organized - ever. You have sent people into towns where we have chapters, and where I live, and not one of you have picked up the phone and asked if we could go to coffee. We have been at the same meetings as your representatives - who won't look us in the eye, won't speak to us, and won't acknowledge our presence. We have ASKED your people to coffee with us in those towns - and the minute they hear this person is a SWA member - they are blown off. We have never been invited to a TV show you've been on, a panel you're appeared on, not one single thing have you ever included us or even acknowledged us. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I want you to know something. At the February 2013 hearings on AB67 there was a back room meeting going on to discuss expanding the legal brothels into Las Vegas that was being held "off calendar". We had tried to reach someone at Polaris to go with us into that hearing because of discussing AB67, and the sign laws, and also because of that hearing with George Flynt. I was supposed to go to that meeting but I had someone call in a report my car rental was stolen. I had just had six police officers pull me over and almost arrest me. They discovered it was a computer glitch but then had to take the car in as evidence. So I had no car. Meaning Aubrey had to go into that hearing by herself with two months clean, and two months away from a pimp who had trafficked her since she was 12 years old. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Aubrey appeared at the AB67 hearing and spoke. She also read a letter to the legislature that had been written by over 50 women who had been trafficked specifically in Nevada. Women who were part of the press conference and the report we'd held in 2007 with Melissa Farley on sex trafficking within the legal sex industry of which you also did not involve yourself in that press conference. But we sat up for two weeks compiling a letter from all of us on what WE wanted to see done in Nevada for US she read for us. The person she said was there from Polaris wouldn't even look her in the eye she told us - while she then walked into that hearing and testified on behalf of all of us alone. This is what she'd endured before going into that hearing by herself. <a href="http://www.blogtalkradio.com/stopsextrafficktalk/2013/07/08/hear-from-a-nevada-brothel-prostitute" target="_blank"> www.blogtalkradio.com/stopsextrafficktalk/2013/07/08/hear-from-a-nevada-brothel-prostitute</a></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">We won by the way. Do you see her name? <a href="http://www.reviewjournal.com/news/nevada-legislature/prostitution-bill-not-nevada-legislatures-agenda">http://www.reviewjournal.com/news/nevada-legislature/prostitution-bill-not-nevada-legislatures-agenda</a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Aubrey is a brave woman. After she testified at this hearing and won, she came home to find her power, TV, cable, internet, etc., turned off for 3 days just as mine had been after I gave that press conference. She persevered anyway and set up a SWA meeting in northern Nevada to replace the one Sharnel had to drop when she got framed on a false charge and was sent to prison for five years. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">She came home from the first meeting to find everything in her apartment stolen, and then the phone rang. She was receiving a death threat to her and her children because of not only her testimony, but also because she was preparing a ground breaking case to file against her pimp for forcing her to work at a legal brothel against her will. It would have been the first ever case against a trafficker in a legal brothel. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">So Aubrey has had to move and go underground. To protect her and her two children she's not going to pick up a phone and call someone and say "hey it's Aubrey" because it could be traced back to where she is and get her killed. But clearly she's passionate about this issue and she'd like to be involved in helping others.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Only everywhere we turn - we're not invited. When we ask to be invited - we're declined. When we show up anyway - we're threatened by security to leave the building. Not just me mind you Elaine BUT US. Anyone who says they're a member of SWA is shunned, threatened, attacked, ignored, or otherwise shut out. So when I hear you're doing something in Florida and our Florida members would like to be involved - I reach out to your office to see about arranging that. Only to get no response at all. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Now mind you most of our members are working. Meaning they don't get home until after 5 pm or later. So no they aren't going to call your office either. They're going to ask me to arrange for them to come not only because of time - but also to protect their anonymity. Some of them don't want a call from Polaris coming into their house they have to explain to their husbands. But that doesn't mean they don't want to be involved. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">We've sent your newsletter/blog items which are never published. We've sent your office urgent alerts that are never responded to. We have tried to open up dialogues with people who say they work with you that are never responded to. We've come to you with cases we've working on - only to get no response back. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Now remember we have no paid staff. I don't have someone I have paid who can sit on the phone during the hours of 9 to 5 and call into your office demanding to speak to someone. With no paid staff, and everyone around here a volunteer, I can leave messages, send emails and shoot off faxes. Then I wait for a response. Which doesn't come. As for you to us - you know how to reach us and we've received nothing. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">So when you're putting together things like a council of survivors to advise on the issues - we don't receive an invitation to see if any of our members would like to be included. When you're doing reports on the issues - we don't see any inquiries from us to input on anything you're researching. We have seen you mention other groups who are less than a year old - but I have YET to see one mention of our work or our name anywhere. I have scanned your site, your social media, your blogs, things you hand out at meetings - and I don't see our name anywhere. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Does it affect what you're doing? Absolutely. When we see your council of survivors talking about "needing more jobs" - we not only don't see that as our biggest problem - but we have jobs. We have lists we can't publish of companies who hire survivors who aren't going to be public about it because it just doesn't look good for their image. I mean do you think Disney for example is going to run around shouting they will take in people leaving prostitution and give them housing, jobs, and help them get a degree? I don't think so. But I can't exactly relay to your people the resources we have either if NO ONE IS TALKING TO US. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">When trainings are put together for the field - we're not included. When training materials are put together for the field - we're not included. When booklets and other written materials or resource guides are put together - we're not included. As a result, we also hear the complaints. I don't think you do but we do. Because we're the ones people who want to complain about you come to when they're asking us for something you don't have. Since we don't have a paid staff it would be a lot easier for us to just be included in the materials in the first place - but no. All of our offers to be involved are unresponded to. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">To top it off, anywhere we turn we're told by people who receive money from Katherine Chon, Bradley's wife, that if they even so much as SPEAK to us - they're worried they will lose their funding or be fired. What's worse is everyone who has - has been in fact fired. To name but one, we had a social worker in Las Vegas who was the head of her department for 12 years organize a workshop for us to train the workers in how to speak to these young girls, many of who are third generation victims, pregnant with their mom's pimp's, baby, and the minute she put out the flyer for the workshop - she was fired. Believe me the message was sent NOT to call Sex Workers Anonymous. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Now you know who suffers from that? The girls. Because again your hotline is set up for TRAFFICKING victims while ours is set up to help someone exit the sex industry. So we are going to get calls you don't like from women who don't have pimps - but want to quit just the same. Who now are being told by Las Vegas social workers and probation officers the only thing they have is an ankle bracelet to monitor them. They're not being told we can offer them sponsors, meetings, a Recovery Guide, or someone to drive them to NA meetings either to keep them out of trouble after school. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">And when your resource guides don't include our name - people take that to mean we're "not approved" and then they don't call us either. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">We have seen interview after interview from Polaris on cases we're actively involved in where we're not included in this article by Polaris in any way. I mean let's face it - <b>YOU'RE IGNORING US. </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">NOT ME - US.</span></b></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Our group is comprised of the survivors who want to remain "anonymous" yes - but not voiceless. They do not want to trot around the USA spouting off from stages and podiums who they are for various reasons. But that again doesn't mean they don't want to be heard. Now again if this was just you - your loss. However, it has reached the point where we're now being blocked at every single point of contact by people who are telling us they are dependent upon Polaris for funding and for position who can't speak to us in fear of losing their funding or position who are either being told to do this explicitly, or simply by following the lead established by Polaris who ignores us.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Please don't lecture me on what's "helpful". We have been trying since 2002 to open up a dialogue with your office. So this isn't because one of our members popped off about how they felt on your page in frustration about yet again not being included in a meeting that is about us and affects us but for some reason doesn't want us around for that discussion. Again, not me - US. Do you have any idea how many members I have in Los Angeles alone who would love to show up at some of these meetings? </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Now before you tell me how these people, or myself, should act, let me ask you something - do you KNOW one single thing about what it takes to get through the day for these women? To get through the day without using drugs, without drinking, without being able to talk to anyone you knew or even family because they're connected to your being in the sex industry and now you're in recovery you can't speak to any of those people now? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">And then to see yet one more meeting being organized ABOUT US that doesn't include US. Then when we let you know we're not happy about being ignored to get some lecture from you like we're children about "appropriate" behavior? You know what Elaine - any day my members can get through without drinking, using, acting out, or shooting themselves in the head is a day when I don't criticize how they express their feelings when someone is ignoring them. Especially when we're tried to tell you about problems long before they hit the news. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">The case of Joohoon David Lee in Las Vegas? We tried getting ahold of someone in your office about that case back in 2013. <a href="http://www.reviewjournal.com/news/las-vegas/las-vegas-restaurateur-says-former-fed-manufactured-criminal-case-against-him">http://www.reviewjournal.com/news/las-vegas/las-vegas-restaurateur-says-former-fed-manufactured-criminal-case-against-him</a> He might have been caught sooner had you responded. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">We are STILL trying to open up a dialogue with you about a woman who was drug out of her home by two Pasadena police officers, and slapped with two fake prostitution charges. I am still trying to open up a dialogue with you about cases where I've got victims reaching out to us for help only to then have cop threatening me not to speak to that victim "or else". </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">All things, and more, that should be things being discussed at a meeting about this subject being held that we posted a comment about it under the page. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Do you know why we did that? For one thing, if you didn't like it take a look at your own behavior first. Because we have been trying POLITELY since 2002 to open up a dialogue with Polaris. So frankly we should have lost our temper sooner. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">So if you don't like what was done - take a look at your own behavior before lecturing us. Because we did it because we're tired of being ignored and then what do we do? We got home and commiserate with each other. Then nothing changes. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">We're not going to do that anymore. We've asked nicely to be included for 10 years now. Enough is enough. Now we're going to be nasty about it. Because we want people to SEE you're ignoring us. Another example of why we're frustrated - we've got members in Ireland. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">We've been taking calls from Ireland for 30 years Elaine. Members who say what's being said in the press about the situation there isn't true. Only we see a huge announcement about a group in Ireland you've partnered with to take calls from victims out there also. Great. It would be nice to coordinate with someone else out there about calls we get. Only when we write this company and try to open up a dialogue with them also - we get nothing. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Fine.</span><br />
<i><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
</i><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>Only we're going to make sure then that people know we're being ignored</i>. Then you can explain it to them because you're sure not explaining it to us. You want to blame it all on a comment put on your page a short time ago? Fine. But then explain everything else that led up to the frustration that went into that comment then Elaine. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">We tried speaking to the press directly about including us in articles they include you in. Only we've now been told by over 10 reporters they will be fired if they print our name. We've been told by a Review Journal reporter that Sheldon Adelson has put out a blacklist on our name in the media. True to his word, we haven't seen one word in any press you're included in since. When we had two reporters threaten to walk if our name wasn't printed and included - they were fired. Leaving us back with you. <b> The reporters can't be fired about an article you're in if you're including us. </b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Our members are tired of being ignored. They're frankly beginning to feel like they're back in the presence of their old pimps who would ignore them also. Especially when we're being "chastised" for expressing how we feel to you which is how we felt when that comment was posted. Instead of respecting our feelings and maybe taking a look at what prompted it on your end - we then get judged, shut down, and basically ignored because I don't see an invite to the event included in your chastisement of our actions. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Now I'm sorry but I've been teaching them to allow themselves to be ignored and just "take it" isn't recovery. Our program teaches them to speak up, have a voice, express themselves, and they're just as important and as valuable as any other human being. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Now I'm sorry Polaris doesn't feel that way about us. But if I"m wrong Elaine - then you show me one single invitation to any event, meeting, training, committee, etc. we've been invited to or offered to be included in? Since 2002 - show me. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Then you can talk to me about how "out of line" our feelings are about this issue. Especially since the grants you receive wouldn't have been possible without the hard work and sacrifice we put into this field. You want the money? Fine. But you don't want to include us in a field that's about us in any way, shape or form, and then you want to contribute to us being excluded from the table on issues that affect us by ignoring us = well then I"m sorry but we're done being polite about it. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">You want to go around talking about how much you care about survivors? Well I'm one too and frankly I don't think I'm being treated very well either - let alone the respect you're showing our members. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Which is none. </b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">We are the oldest, and largest group of survivors in this country. We are not only survivors, but human beings. Things have escalated to the point where Polaris has now created a "natural monopoly" within the very field we created. A field I assure you didn't even exist in the 1970's and 1980's that WE created and made possible. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">We have asked "nicely" for 10 years now to be included and recognized - not ignored like we're not in the room. Again, I don't mean "me" either - but "us". Even "me" however counts as I am a survivor myself. I also don't know ANYONE who has been in this field longer than myself other than Lois Lee who works with juveniles. So as far as adults - there is no one with more experience in this work than myself. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Now we're getting snarky about it. Now we have your attention. Sending us emails chastising us is not responding to the issue. We need to know what you plan on doing about it or we've done the homework that establishes we have the basis of a lawsuit for Polaris being a monopoly on the field not only we created, but we used to dominate. You are engaging in "unfair" competition and trade practices when Katherine Chon holds the purse strings through the grants at the Trafficking in Persons office, and also jobs within the system for social workers, counselors, etc. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Something has to give here when members of our program tell their counselors they are in fact members of SWA and they are then DISCHARGED because the counselor doesn't want them "infecting" the other prostitutes in their case load with information that the one woman who is doing well in the batch is attending our meetings. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Then when we confront the counselor about why she did that to this survivor, we get told "because our clinic survives off grant money from the federal government that's why". Pointing to grant money the clinic receives from the Trafficking in Persons' Office. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">When social workers who post flyers for us on the wall are then fired for doing this, and her boss then points us to training manuals that mention nothing about us and for which we're not included in the creation of nor listings within as to why she was fired for using "unauthorized resources" - then we have a problem in that we're not only having our program being shut out from helping our members, but our members are being PENALIZED by this system. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">This country, the public, and our legislature has been subjected to one fraud after the other after the other Elaine. Frauds that would not have happened most likely if we weren't being ignored by Polaris. Samoly Mam for one . William Hillar and Chong Kim are two others. When we knew these people to be fake, and further ripping people off for money, we would have been able to shut them down IMMEDIATELY with the reach your organization has. If you didn't want to get behind that whistle blowing - fine. But when people are afraid to even listen to us for fear of you - then we have a problem in that your ignoring of us is contributing to people being harmed, ripped off, and misled. Especially when these fakes are testifying in Congressional hearings. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Especially when the fraud has reached the level it has within Tennessee as but one example with the case involving Heather Weyker. We knew there was something wrong with that case from the gate when we were shut out for the first time in a case. A case that would have not cost over $10 million dollars, and innocent people jailed, had the people surrounding it been forced to listen to us when we said there was something wrong with that case. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">But when people like them are ignoring us, well then turning to you to see you also are ignoring us - then this has reached a point where it's no longer just harming us survivors Elaine - but everyone. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">So before taking the formal action of filing a monopoly case with the court to get your attention - we're trying another tactic. Funny how THAT got a response out of you when nothing else "nice" had. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">You have my number. I'd like to know if instead of insulting me you have a constructive suggestion to the problem?</span></div>

They think "well that's just a couple of prostitutes so why should I care?" <br />
<br />
You should care because if the system is broken, then we're just the ones they go after FIRST. Then once they've worked out the kinks - it's game on. <br />
<br />
Tennessee is named as one of the top states who have parents in jail. <a href="http://www.newschannel5.com/news/tn-nearly-tops-list-of-kids-with-parents-in-jail" target="_blank"> http://www.newschannel5.com/news/tn-nearly-tops-list-of-kids-with-parents-in-jail</a><br />
<br />
What I don't see discussed is ON WHAT CHARGES? Because if someone is locked up on prostitution charges - guess what happens to the kids? <br />
<br />
Foster care.<br />
<br />
Tennessee is where the biggest trafficking case in history was faked. <a href="http://reason.com/blog/2016/03/04/the-somali-sex-slave-ring-that-wasnt" target="_blank"> http://reason.com/blog/2016/03/04/the-somali-sex-slave-ring-that-wasnt</a><br />
<br />
Up to this case, when someone was arrested for prostitution - we'd then ask the court to consider giving a woman with children "alternative sentencing" to come to our program instead of going to jail. <br />
<br />
Only someone realized the private jails were losing money this way, as did criminal attorney's who weren't needed. We would send a SWA member to the court with them and ask for this consideration. It worked. We'd then show up a year later to discuss how well they were doing, and in two years we'd be talking record expungement.<br />
<br />
When this case hit, I tried reaching everyone in the system from the prosecutor, to the public defender, the social workers, etc., trying to reach the "victims". I got these cracks about how they had been "sent to a professional" in a tone that made it sound like they felt they were better than our program for these women. Only I'm the one who has been training those "professionals" in Tennessee working with real victim.<br />
<br />
So I called the local "professionals" and asked if they'd gotten a new client when this went down only to hear "no". <br />
<br />
Meaning this couldn't have happened without us being shoved out of the way so people could be fooled. <br />
<br />
Now when I started piping up about being shut out of the system up there I got a lot of "who cares"? I mean the prosecutor here was getting a lot of awards, a lot of speaking engagements, a lot of press so people were like "what do we care what you think"?<br />
<br />
THAT attitude is why all these parents are now behind bars. I also would bet cash money many of these parents are there on prostitution charges.<br />
<br />
We need to talk.<br />

<br />SEX WORKERS ANONYMOUShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07209075603082526867noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5315331966306529296.post-24011619851476580922016-04-26T09:19:00.000-07:002021-02-03T03:15:07.319-08:00THE GOOD GUYSPeople I think misunderstand me when I point out things like the NY cop who was caught pimping over 10 women while not only a cop himself, but married to another cop! When I do this I am NOT saying "NY cops are pimps" or "NY cops are corrupt". <br />
<br />
What I'm saying when I point this out is the women who were pimped by him are AFRAID. They're afraid to call another cop for help because it might be his wife! They're afraid they might call a buddy of his who backs him up. They're afraid they're going to get another cop who tells them to "shut up" or doesn't believe them or worse arrests them for coming forward on some bogus charge. Even worse is they don't know who to trust. It's not like he's going to introduce them to another cop and say to her "he's a good guy so don't call him". <br />
<br />
What I'm pointing out is if they call Polaris and get referred to a local task force in NY to call that's headed by these same cops when what does she do? What's the back-up plan here when the cops are who you're trying to blow your whistle on?<br />
<br />
Which is a situation I get in many times. In Las Vegas in 2007 I had SEVEN juvenile women telling me they were forced into sex by a local detective in charge of vice. They wanted to testify but didn't know who they could trust or how the court could keep them alive until the hearing. So I contacted the police for them and asked them to show me HOW they would keep them alive. I told him "you show me and I show them" and the plan was for them to come forward and press charges against him and their pimp. <br />
<br />
Only in that case the cop who met with me, Vic Vigna, refused to show me how these women could be kept safe until trial if they stepped up and in fact refused to do anything to assure them they could safely come forward. So I went to look for Internal Affairs for Vegas to find none. Then I went to ATLAS who was headed by Terri Miller then who refused to talk to me about the issue. When I went over her to her boss, then I got threatened by an FBI agent. When I went to the Attorney General's office they refused to talk to me about it. When I went to the prosecutor's office they refused to talk to me about the issue.<br />
<br />
So I had SEVEN women wanting to come forward about a bad cop - and no help provided me to assure these women they wouldn't wind up like Margo Compton. Meaning they didn't come forward against this cop because I couldn't find anyone at that time willing to show me how they could.<br />
<br />
Does that mean all Vegas cops are bad apples? Hell no. There's a great cop in Las Vegas. I really really good cop. Christopher Baughman is a fantastic cop. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Off-Street-Christopher-Baughman/dp/1933016930">http://www.amazon.com/Off-Street-Christopher-Baughman/dp/1933016930</a> This guy is the "real deal" and has to fight not only pimps but other bad cops. His cases are real and he's no "catfish" putting on he fights pimps when he doesn't. This guy really puts his money where his mouth is and risks his life for these women and their children. <br />
<br />
Now one of the reasons why I don't brag more about specific cops is because it can get them hurt and/or targeted. If you don't know what I mean watch "Serpico". When he was coming forward about bad cops he got shot in the face. When Officer Jim Stewart was getting nine massage parlors shut down in 2013 in Wichita, Kansas, he had to fight other cops to get that case done. He also got death threats from the traffickers along with the judge. <br />
<br />
I have many a cop tell me if word gets out they even know me - they'll be targeted by the bad cops. I've had good cops tell me they've gotten fired, set-up, smeared, and run off the force simply for giving a man or woman our phone number to call. When Oscar Goodman was mayor - he literally told every cop, FBI agent, and probation officer "if you read this report or speak to that woman you'll be fired" when we came out with our report on "Trafficking in Nevada - Making the Connections" about what was going on there in 2007.<br />
<br />
Now in 2013 I had a woman come speak to me about a situation where she said she told her traffickers she wanted to retire. In response, she says she was drug out of her home in front of her mother and son in handcuffs and charged with two false counts of prostitution. She was further threatened with a 3rd case and deportation back to China if she refused to go back to work as a prostitute for this operation. <br />
<br />
Okay what do we do? Who can she speak to? I tried to speak to the Chief of the police where this happened and he initially refused to speak to me. Then what? <br />
<br />
In asking around, I'm having people in other cities tell me they're having the same thing where they're either ignored or threatened by a cop in their city. So where do we go for help? I've been calling people since 2013 asking that question and getting crazy answers. One FBI agent told me literally "if the operation was Muslim I could help you". <br />
<br />
Now this woman can't leave if these cops are going to come after her. The only way out IS to do something about these cops. What do we do? <br />
<br />
I did some homework and this name kept coming up - Claude Arnold. <a href="http://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/Child-Predators-275-Arrests-Pedophiles-Operation-Broken-Heart-SoCal-264817521.html" target="_blank"> http://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/Child-Predators-275-Arrests-Pedophiles-Operation-Broken-Heart-SoCal-264817521.html</a> I mean check out this article with his name in there. 275 predators arrested? Wow!<br />
<br />
How about 26 gang members? <a href="http://www.presstelegram.com/general-news/20150408/26-long-beach-gang-members-arrested-in-ice-sweep">http://www.presstelegram.com/general-news/20150408/26-long-beach-gang-members-arrested-in-ice-sweep</a><br />
<br />
Seven arrested here <a href="http://www.scpr.org/news/2015/08/14/53800/7-fugitives-captured-in-socal-for-human-rights-vio/">http://www.scpr.org/news/2015/08/14/53800/7-fugitives-captured-in-socal-for-human-rights-vio/</a><br />
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/goog_847314529"><br /></a>
<a href="http://www.ocregister.com/articles/arnold-285315-illegal-immigration.html">http://www.ocregister.com/articles/arnold-285315-illegal-immigration.html</a> Here he is in Orange County.<br />
<br />
But is he willing to go up against the Triad? <a href="http://ktla.com/2015/03/03/feds-raid-20-socal-locations-in-alleged-chinese-birthing-house-maternity-tourism-schemes/">http://ktla.com/2015/03/03/feds-raid-20-socal-locations-in-alleged-chinese-birthing-house-maternity-tourism-schemes/</a> Seems so.<br />
<br />
What about celebrities? Is he willing to let a case slide if the guy is famous? <a href="http://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2013/07/15/teacher-pro-skater-among-12-socal-men-arrested-in-online-sex-predator-sting/" target="_blank"> http://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2013/07/15/teacher-pro-skater-among-12-socal-men-arrested-in-online-sex-predator-sting/</a> Nope. He'll go after someone famous.<br />
<br />
Is he afraid of the cartel? <a href="https://www.apparelnews.net/news/2014/sep/10/breaking-feds-raid-la-garment-companies-mexican-dr/">https://www.apparelnews.net/news/2014/sep/10/breaking-feds-raid-la-garment-companies-mexican-dr/</a><br />
<br />
What about a complicated case? <a href="https://www.studentnewsdaily.com/daily-news-article/federal-agents-raid-suspected-fake-schools/">https://www.studentnewsdaily.com/daily-news-article/federal-agents-raid-suspected-fake-schools/</a><br />
<br />
Now we know from Kevin Brown the media might just be planting stories about this guy because he sounds like he should be wearing a cape from these arrests under his name. So I had to go talk to some of these reporters and find out if this guy was for real. Sure they might lie to me - but I can tell if someone is lying by their voice. The reporters all check out with this guy.<br />
<br />
Has any victim of these criminals who testified been hurt? Again like the Margo Compton case where they couldn't protect her? <a href="http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/When-Jailbirds-Sing-It-was-the-pure-savagery-of-3018647.php" target="_blank"> http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/When-Jailbirds-Sing-It-was-the-pure-savagery-of-3018647.php</a><br />
<br />
We found this but this wasn't a witness of Claude's who got shot. <a href="http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2012/02/witness-describes-finding-immigration-officials-shot-in-office.html" target="_blank"> http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2012/02/witness-describes-finding-immigration-officials-shot-in-office.html</a><br />
<br />
So guess what? When we finally found his name out as a good source of someone who might help deal with this situation of these bad apples out of Pasadena - he's retired from Homeland Security. He works for Propertyroom.com now it appears. <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/claudearnold">https://www.linkedin.com/in/claudearnold</a><br />
<br />
But he might know someone we could trust. So we put a call into him and got one back! He said he does know some good people we could speak to and said cases like Joohoon David Lee are "rare" and he was "just one bad apple". <a href="https://www.justice.gov/usao-cdca/pr/former-hsi-special-agent-pleads-guilty-taking-bribes-korean-businessman-being">https://www.justice.gov/usao-cdca/pr/former-hsi-special-agent-pleads-guilty-taking-bribes-korean-businessman-being</a><br />
<br />
Claude assured us the force itself is not corrupt, it's really good men and women, and that Joohoon was just a really rare case. Now from his perspective corruption is rare. Also because corrupt officer will try and avoid someone like him at all costs! <br />
<br />
But from a victim of trafficking's perspective that's all he or she sees. We don't see the good cops, Homeland Security, Immigration, prosecutors, etc., because they don't normally go out like politicians door to door shaking hands, kissing babies, and making sure you know you can come to them for help. <br />
<br />
He told me they have a problem with getting witnesses to come forward and testify. You know why? Because when they're meeting with one of them it's usually when they've been arrested and they're terrified. They don't know who to trust. So they shut down.<br />
<br />
This is where our program comes in handy. I'm seeking out men like Claude - they're not coming to us. I'm given a chance to get to know these guys, check them out, speak to other witnesses they've worked with, and really know they can be trusted with telling them someone that can get them murdered. <br />
<br />
I can then relay information to the police from the victim in a way which won't break their anonymity. I don't have to tell the cops who gave me the information - but I can get them the information if the victim wants me to give them this information. <br />
<br />
I in turn can also assure a victim they can trust this guy or that guy and help get them out of the trafficking situation by knowing who they can trust to speak to where it won't backfire on them and get them killed.<br />
<br />
So Claude has told me he'll line up some introductions and then I can check back with the victims I've been speaking to and we can see what can be done about shutting down some traffickers. <br />
<br />
Now SWA is not about law enforcement. But when in a situation where a victim CAN'T be freed without putting their trafficker's behind bars - this is where we can help as a "go between" or "liaison". <br />
<br />
But also notice that a really good cop - returned my phone calls. <br />
<br />
Thank you Mr. Arnold and thank you for assuring me corruption is a rare thing in Homeland Security.<br />
<br />
I myself wouldn't be alive if not for a cop who built a task force to come after me and yank me out of the sex industry. I wasn't happy about it at the time - but he did save my life. Sometimes the police are the only way out for us.<br />
<br />
So thank God for the good guys!<br />
<br />

Savannah Sly - President of Sex Workers Outreach Project</div>
<br />
<br />
When we heard Heidi Fleiss was being filmed on Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew - we tried for weeks to speak to him about Sex Workers Anonymous AND about the fact recovery for us did NOT work the same way as taught in textbooks which writes about male addiction recovery. I say that because Bill Wilson founded AA. Jimmy Kinnon founded NA. Roy K. founded SA. So these groups were founded by men and based on their recovery. Textbooks write about research done mostly on males. So what works for females who have been sexually abused and then worked in the sex industry, possibly trafficked, is NOT what's included in those textbooks. <br />
<br />
So if you line up every single episode of "Intervention" you will see every single episode fails with sex workers because the "typical" approach does not work on us. Dr. Drew's staff repeatedly refused to speak to us. His staff has refused to put us on his show. <br />
<br />
Now I don't mean ME = I mean Sex Workers Anonymous. We have a chapter of SWA in Los Angeles and I mean WE. If you'd like to hear from some of our members in their words <a href="http://www.leavingtheliferadio.com/" target="_blank">www.leavingtheliferadio.com </a> Our program is 30 years old, we've got news clips up at www.hightechmadam.com with other quotes from members, and it's perfectly logical to assume if you have someone like Heidi or Mary Carey in your program then you should be able to refer them to the program. Yet Dr. Drew has REFUSED to even speak to us despite the fact we have an international program, and our hotline has answered 500,000 calls to Polaris' 100,000 calls to date. <br />
<br />
So WHO DOES Dr. Drew speak to:<br />

The screen above came from www.prostitutionrecovery.org only the site goes nowhere. There is no contact information for our hotline. However, it appears there's an interview up with Dr. Drew and Kathryn Griffin-Townsend. Now let me get this straight - Dr. Drew is part of a group of shows produced by Hearst Media. Hearst Media also produces Oprah. Hearst Media has produced THREE shows on Brenda Myers-Powell, a woman who has attributed her recovery not to Kathryn's program, BUT TO OURS. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So Brenda, who gets her recovery in OUR program is not filmed by Dr. Drew, but instead he filmed Kathryn Griffin-Townsend. Can anyone show me where HER graduates have wound up please? Oh wait a minute - she was supposedly a part of "8 Minutes" which was exposed for either being a faked staged show, or for "breaking promises" and not "delivering recovery as promised" depending upon which version you want to believe about why the show was taken down.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So if our program has stood the test of time as being more effective than Kathryn's - then why is SHE the one being filmed by Dr. Drew instead of our program? The most obvious difference between us is that she is a woman of color while I "appear" to be white. I say "appear" because I'm light skinned, but in reality I have African American and also native American blood. </div>

The show "8 Minutes" also featured D'Lita Miller from Families Against Sex Trafficking as their resource consultant. A woman who when I spoke to her claimed she "had no resources" for victims. When I offered to show her where resources were - she blocked my phone number. Real professional action. These are photos of Ms. Miller who was also put on CNN with Maxine:</div>

I know marketing and propaganda when I see it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Something is wrong when the people I'm seeing saying "sex trafficking doesn't exist" are white, those who say they're victims of trafficking put in front of the camera as such are all women of color, the people being shown in the media as "traffickers" are all people of color, and those being shown as "crusaders" are all white with most being downright blond and blue-eyed. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Those crusading for trafficking victims who are not white, are only talking about street prostitution and street pimping - thus further making it appear sex trafficking is mostly about illegal street prostitution and street pimps. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If I'm wrong about this OMISSION of sex trafficking existing within the LEGAL sex industry, affecting men and women of ANY color, existing within the higher ends of the sex industry, and further that I don't see ANYONE talking about organized trafficking in the major media - then please explain to me why Katherine Chon went after re-criminalizing prostitution in Rhode Island BUT NOT Nevada where the legal brothels operate. <a href="http://www.browndailyherald.com/2007/02/15/local-activists-work-to-end-ri-human-trafficking/">http://www.browndailyherald.com/2007/02/15/local-activists-work-to-end-ri-human-trafficking/</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When I helped give a press conference on sex trafficking existing within the legal sex industry - I had an older woman there with grey hair (Kathleen Mitchell), an Asian woman (Chong Kim), an African American woman (Brenda Myers-Powell) and myself (who is of mixed descent). I went to great effort to make sure we didn't represent a singular racial image of who survivors were and I spoke about sex trafficking at the higher levels of the sex industry, as well as in the illegal and legal aspects of the sex industry. Candace Jordan was there speaking about how Joe Richards, the owner of a legal brothel, had offered her a bribe while she was on the city council. Thus we also spoke about traffickers who were not only in the legal sex industry - but also represented a more organized type of trafficker. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Well this probably explains why I'm not the one being paraded around on stages nor in front of the camera. Tell you what Dr. Drew - I'll paint a black face on, talk about street prostitution, and a street pimp - instead of trafficking which is existing within levels of authority preventing victims from calling for help because of who is involved in our world and we'll leave discussion about victims connected to men like Eliot Spitzer alone. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I guess we're just supposed to believe Svetlana (the one caught with Eliot Spitzer in a hotel recently) cut herself on a wine glass after telling Eliot she wanted to leave the country to clearly get away from him. <a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/spitzer-choke-accuser-identified-svetlana-travis-25-article-1.2532341" target="_blank"> http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/spitzer-choke-accuser-identified-svetlana-travis-25-article-1.2532341</a> and that her supposed "confession" she had "made the whole thing up" which gets Eliot off the hook has nothing to do with his political and media power and that there's absolutely no reason why someone like Eliot wouldn't want Svetlana to know she can get support from a program like ours.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And let's not even think women like Heidi Fleiss, Mary Carey, Kristy Mack, Belle Knox, Suzy Favor-Hamilton, Brandy Britton or Jeane Palfrey might possibly be victims of some type of coercion, and don't need a program to help them exit and find recovery from the sex industry. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
No - women like Alyssa Funkes (the young woman who killed herself after being bullied by people who attacked her for being in porn) are just fine without a group like www.sexworkersanonymous.com to turn to for help Dr. Drew. There isn't any need at all for women like her to know about us. <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2637887/I-just-want-die-The-words-19-year-old-college-student-committed-suicide-weeks-starring-Casting-Couch-porn-bullied-former-classmates.html">http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2637887/I-just-want-die-The-words-19-year-old-college-student-committed-suicide-weeks-starring-Casting-Couch-porn-bullied-former-classmates.html</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Nor for women like Amber Rayne who was found dead recently after saying James Deen had raped her (another man in the porn industry) - </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #0000ee;"><u>https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2016/04/05/amber-rayne-porn-star-who-accused-james-deen-of-sexual-assault-found-dead/</u></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Nor Christy Mack when she decides to retire. Sure Christy will be able to go get some job as a cocktail waitress or a secretary and she'll have no problem at all looking for a job somewhere. Her past career won't hold her back one bit. Nor will Belle Knox have any problems with housing, banking, nor jobs once she quits the porn industry. Women like Suzy Favor-Hamilton who keep hooking despite having a career, a husband and a child, and over $1,000,000 in endorsements can always just fly off to Beverly Hills to see a psychiatrist so no - there's no need to have men and women be able to pick up a phone and call our hotline and speak to another person who is in recovery from the sex industry. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Yes Dr. Drew you know so much about this subject you can just point out to me your long list of testimonials from men and women in recovery from the sex industry you've helped like I can at <a href="http://www.leavingtheliferadio.com/">www.leavingtheliferadio.com</a> I've got more interviews I haven't loaded yet online also.</div>

No - we have a woman who stood on a corner for four years and now she's got a pretty dress on we're going to put her in charge of training people in law enforcement, probation, etc. With people's lives at stake here with respect to what they know about this subject, and all the money being spent on providing the best possible training to people in the field - THIS is who is being presented to you as your educator NOT the founder of the modern day sex trafficking movement who started it all and whose work was even validated in a 10 year study "Leaving Prostitution". No - we're going to bring you Leah talking about her four years on the streets. No one is trying to hide any information from anyone around here now are they?</div>

The last thing we're going to do is put Jody up on a stage or in front of a camera talking about we need to "change the system" so that THOSE victims can go and get help when they're being trafficked rather than waiting around for the possibility of someone tripping up on their case to help them.

<i>Vice contacted me saying they were doing a documentary on sex trafficking in Nevada about a month ago and wanted to interview some of our members who had been trafficked in Nevada. I agreed to help them out but explained we don't keep our members in Nevada in Nevada except in rare circumstances. Nevada is the only region in the world we have a presence/meeting where we move our members out of Nevada in order for them to safely recover. They blew me off and I told them they wouldn't get anyone to talk to them in Nevada because of fear. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Then today I got an email back from Andrew saying they were "going with another topic". Yeah sure with Jeane's "Black Book" and the election coming up, and Dennis Hof running for Senate, and John Hambrick being accused of "bullying" his way into Speaker of the House, Sheldon Adelson buying the Review Journal, Vivid moving into Nevada, and Lamar's incident - I'm going to believe Nevada's sex trafficking isn't an issue of great interest right now to the public?

I told you Nevada was a "whole other animal" than anywhere else in the world right now and that's why it's the only state where we take our members, and rescue's, right out of the state immediately. I can't even live in the state physically because they not only have done things like put bombs in our outreach RV, destroyed my car, threatened our volunteer drivers (one so badly he had a heart attack and almost died), and even framed Shanel Silvey for five years to shut down the northern Nevada end of our program which we had her on one end and me on the other for a while when we tried to keep services in the state. The link below goes into what's going on in Nevada and why even the Hell's Angel's sold to Dennis Hof to get the hell out of there. </div>

It explains why they're going to all the trouble to shut down Backpage, The Erotic Review, Myredbook, Playboy going non-nude, and Hustler's selling his property, in other words ANY COMPETITOR is being shut down (or running away), and then set up that bullshit lawsuit with James Deen to try and push the porn industry into Nevada because of Vivid's merger with the companies that handle online fantasy sports betting, videogaming - and what's connecting as we speak to Oculus, Google, Facebook, AND Polaris who has now partnered with Palantir Technologies - in other words the CIA. <br />

You've seen with Lamar Odom WHY they're pushing everyone into Nevada where Sheldon Adelson basically owns that state. He owns the Review Journal, along with all of the drug treatment facilities, the medical centers, neurology departments, hospices, and other medical outlets through his wife, the doctor. With the money they donate around the state - everyone practically is beholden to the Adelson influence in Nevada. <br />
<br />
EVERYTHING I told you, and other media, that "johns" were reporting to me we witnessed happen to Lamar. They drugged him, rolled him, and then when he got sick they took him to Sunrise, NOT UMC which was 20 minutes closer than Sunrise. Sunrise was because they control all the data that goes on in that hospital with the push of one button so they can alter records. <br />
<br />
There's one lab in the whole state and I've witnessed them alter medical records to what they want which is why you don't see one HIV test result coming out of the legal brothels despite it happening up there. Then when he started to balk, ask for his $75,000 and talk about a negligence lawsuit - they had the police right up his ass threatening to charge him with drug possession to shut him up.<br />
<br />
Dennis Hof isn't even scared of the Kardashian press machine because he knows Sheldon's power is stronger and Sheldon is pushing this whole thing into the legalization of prostitution, legalization of marijuana, and the expansion of 3D interactive porn into every home and smart TV where they will be able to not only hear you to record data on you, but also to even register your temperature through your remote to get your body further anchored with Alexa. The power of the mind control they're rolling out through this is MIND NUMBING.</div>

They chased Harry Reid and Assemblyman Beers right out of the Legislature. John Hambrick bullied his way in. Even though two Congressmen have complained about being bullied - nothing is being done.</div>
<div data-setdir="false" dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div data-setdir="false" dir="ltr">
Why? Because they have men like Joohoon David Lee, a Homeland Security officer who also works with Immigration putting ankle bracelets on whoever he wants, while he flies women in from Korea to work with the League who is trafficking women all over the country, and even was found guilty of bribery in Los Angeles, yet continued doing whatever he wanted. When an innocent restaurant owner complained to Lee's boss about this 800 pound gorilla he was told "there's nothing I can do about it". (Imagine now if you were a hookerand wanted to say "no" to these guys.) <a href="http://www.reviewjournal.com/news/las-vegas/las-vegas-restaurateur-says-former-fed-manufactured-criminal-case-against-him" target="_blank">http://www.reviewjournal.com/news/las-vegas/las-vegas-restaurateur-says-former-fed-manufactured-criminal-case-against-him </a></div>

You know why? Because Sheldon owns the Review Journal which is all of the media that come out of Nevada and because anyone else outside of the RJ like you is scared shitless to talk about what they're doing and warn the public about what's going on. THAT'S why you "chose to go another way" with your story. </div>

This isn't just about hookers Andrew. Take a look at that man and his family who was targeted by this agent who was an innocent honest business man just trying to feed his family. If not for my talking to Daniel Bogden about this being real and also Daniel's BALLS to stand up to someone like that - who can take my warning to LAX about them bringing in Chinese women through there and relay that back to the trafficking operation and have them switch everything over to Korean women, and for Seattle's balls in sending in someone to get some arrests against them also recently, along with another officer in Wichita, Kansas who risked his life for over five years to get 9 parlors shut down there - even he wouldn't have stood a chance to be heard over Lee's badge - and then get his story out in the media verifying that yes this is in fact happening.</div>

<div data-setdir="false" dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1461529892366_47453">
This isn't about street pimps beating up on hookers on drugs Andrew that is what all this propaganda being put out is trying to convince you what the modern day sex trafficking movment is. The modern day sex trafficking movement is what murdered Jeane Palfrey before she could release more names out of her book about who the real traffickers are in this country at the ethics hearing she had scheduled to testify at (just like Officer Armendariz was going to testify about corruption on the trafficking task force in Arizona and he was found hung before he could talk as was Brandy Britton before she could testify also), that also further silences me from talking about the fact SHE'S just as much of a trafficking victim, if not more, than some hooker with a street pimp on a corner. </div>
<div data-setdir="false" dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div data-setdir="false" dir="ltr">
Andrew, we had laws on the books in the 1980's to arrest pimps. Pick up 911 and they're arrested. What we didn't have then, and why I started this movement, was laws about what to do when the person who is forcing you into crime, whether it be prostitution and/or drugs or whatever, is our own government such as Iran Contra, or what Jeane Palfrey was being forced to do against her will that she was trying to alert us to. She was the first one of us who had the proof so we were all rooting for her to make it. We still are trying to find someone in the media with the balls to tell the truth about what's going on.</div>
<div data-setdir="false" dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div data-setdir="false" dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1461529892366_47802">
Because it's about silencing me who is talking about them, the sex industry, while they try and get the media to focus in on the victims instead because then you're eyes aren't on them. Just like how the tobacco company got everyone to focus in on the young smoking during their "youth prevention" campaign which didn't address the truth about their product, and marketing strategies - of which the "youth prevention" marketing campaign was exactly that. You want someone to think about a pink elephant? Tell them NOT to "think about a pink elephant". So while everyone is hearing "the young shouldn't smoke" NO ONE IS LOOKING AT THE INDUSTRY and the young are "thinking about smoking". </div>
<div data-setdir="false" dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div data-setdir="false" dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1461529892366_48354">
Which is why Adelson is pushing this campaign against opiate I can assure you is probably what killed Prince. He went to Walgreen's four times on a bike with "flu like symptoms". Which is withdrawal. He was in withdrawal because pharmacies are now limited to only 1000 pills for every patient no matter who they are. <br />
<br />
Why? Because of the supposed "epidemic" of pain killer deaths. We have more people on pain killers which may look like an "epidemic" because we're the baby boomers. Baby boomers who are in pain and now have to work - just like Prince couldn't sit in a rocking chair as he had to work. So they're taking pain killers. While Sheldon wants them to switch over to medical marijuana he's in the process of trying to get control over prescribing legally. Now how is he going to get all those old people off pain killers and onto medical marijuana? Take away their pain killers by hyping up this supposedly "epidemic". </div>
<div data-setdir="false" dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div data-setdir="false" dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1461529892366_49813">
It's all very cleverly crafted marketing that as long as they control the major media - then guys like you won't have the balls to speak the truth. Not after Rolling Stone tried to tell the people what was going on with the Koch Brothers which Adelson is partnered with also. You can tell because the tactics are the same as the Tea Party. Get people to think one thing while you're getting them to really do another thing. <br />
<br />
Just like the trafficking movement I created to demand a system be set up to help victims like myself, Jeane Palfrey, ones victimize by Eliot Spitzer, David Vitter, and the others Jeane died trying to tell us all about is being distorted into something about street pimps which we already had laws on the books for them in the 1970's and 1980's . </div>

You've got reporters right now on your staff from SWOP making sure you write the stories the way THEY want them. Which is why I knew when you emailed me you'd NEVER sit down with one of our members with a camera and air what they got to say about what's going on in Nevada because you only PRETEND to be about the real truth about what's going on in this country. <br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>You "decided to go another way" when you found out what I told you about Nevada was true.</b> Just like Chris Hansen did and why he went out and started doing crowd funding so he could produce his own film to show the truth. That was after he got fed two hours of staged faked bullshit for his show on Vegas and sex trafficking. Where every single person he's interviewed has since been exposed for corruption in one form or another and therefore lying to the camera to cover up what's really going on in Nevada. <a href="http://www.latimes.com/business/la-et-ct-chris-hansen-predator-crowdfunding-20150410-story.html" target="_blank"> http://www.latimes.com/business/la-et-ct-chris-hansen-predator-crowdfunding-20150410-story.html</a></div>

<div data-setdir="false" dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1461529892366_50314">
Especially so if when you expose what's going on in Nevada - you expose what's going on with Relativity Media that's filmed "Gigolo's" and "Cathouse" there which was staged faked scripted "reality" TV that conned the government, and investors out of MILLIONS. <br />
<br />
Then when it came time to file criminal charges the whole state defunded and shut down their whole consumer affairs department. Where Heidi Fleiss can be busted with 400 pot plants and not do one day in jail and two cops and 24 sex trafficking victims can be caught red handed in an illegal brothel with bags of drugs and pimps right in the house with them and they walk also. <a href="http://www.tmz.com/2013/08/13/heidi-fleiss-charged-marijuana-plants-grow-operation-nevada/" target="_blank"> http://www.tmz.com/2013/08/13/heidi-fleiss-charged-marijuana-plants-grow-operation-nevada/</a></div>

Which then connects to Paul Tanaka's case for corruption, and further ties right into what's going on in Arizona where they're now taking kids right out of people's homes without A WARRANT OR PROBABLE CAUSE other than Cindy McCain saying "we need to separate them out from the criminal justice system so we can get them the proper care". <br />
<br />
Only when you ask what that proper care is there's NO ANSWER because THERE IS NONE. In Project Rose they were dragging these women to an unlicensed clinic with unlicensed social workers to provide them with "care" only that care was to put them on medications and useless groups for which they were billing the state for. Then if these women didn't go - they were charged with "non-compliance" and locked up in the psychiatric ward and their children taken. Psychiatric wards or safe houses where the shelter workers tell me the pimps come by every night to pick them up and take them to work at the local massage parlors, strip clubs or 3D webcam studios while they stand back because it's a "legal" job. Their children are taken into group homes where no one is talking about what's happening to those kids except the few who escape and run to us to tell us what's going on. </div>
<div data-setdir="false" dir="ltr">

<div data-setdir="false" dir="ltr">
Cindy McCain who was caught using doctors to steal drugs for her addiction through a phony charity she set up. So now we're supposed to trust her with our kids while she won't even talk about how she's staying clean today?

I don't know if the woman existed or not. I don't know if she's alive or dead. I'm not saying she didn't exist nor she's not dead. I just want to clarify that I was able to find a birth certificate for her in California using the name provided as his wife. I did not however find a marriage certificate on the index, nor a death certificate under this name in either California nor Arizona. I found an obituary which was paid for, but the newspaper reported they did not see a death certificate. What does this mean? I have no idea. I only brought her into the discussion because people had said that "Kelly was working under his wife's license number for private investigations". But when I looked up both his private investigator's license as well as one under his wife's given name - I couldn't find anything in either AZ nor CA. Could this mean the state made a mistake? Sure it could. People might even have met a woman saying she was Kelly's wife. I've found two radio interviews in fact for a woman saying she was his wife which has two different photos and the voices and names don't match. I don't know what that means - I just know what the paperwork is saying. So I'm not "attacking" nor "accusing" anyone here nor am I saying he wasn't married, nor that this woman isn't dead. I'm just pointing out here to do your own research and what my research found with respect to documentation. We live in a "catfish" age where men like Bernie Madoff ran off with people's life savings by pretending to be something he wasn't. I was able to see through Kevin Brown's charade with "8 Minutes" by asking for "proof" and to see this so called "program" with my own two eyes. If you've seen the Great Randi's documentary on how he created a whole fake guru that people were falling for hook, line and sinker to further illustrate you need to check things out carefully before just assuming what you're hearing is real - then you will understand all I'm saying here is what I found when I went online and started digging. <br />
<br />
Which I didn't even do until I started getting phone calls from survivors telling me this man I'd never met was bashing me online, and one woman reported he was offering her drugs knowing she was only months sober, and supposedly asking her to relocate out of state, quit her job, leaving her section 8 housing contract, to go to work at this "rescue" he was supposedly operating acres big in Arizona, while urging her not to talk to me about this offer of both the drugs and the job. Of course this got my curiosity up as to who this guy was and why he'd do this sort of thing which I had someone send me a copy of the transcript of their conversation. So in my research - this is what I found is all I'm saying here. Please - go and do your own research and make up your own minds as to what you think. I'm not posting this to bash his "dead wife" but to merely document the research I found when I went online to find out who this guy was bashing me for some reason. I have heard from other people this article has "deeply wounded" Kelly - but I've yet to hear that from him or anything from him for that matter. Which I would just assume if this was harming him or "wounding" him then it would be so easy to just shut me up by showing me a copy of things such as licensing, death certificates, etc. If presented with any documentation - I'd be happy to update this with that information. Just wanted to clarify this before you read on. )<br />
<br />
Let me first start off with Kathleen Mitchell, founder of the Dignity program in Phoenix, Arizona. I'm not telling you this information to brag about us - but to put what I'm about to say here in perspective. It's been documented in public interviews given by Kathleen she first contacted us when the program I created was called "Prostitutes Anonymous" while in the Durango Jail in about 1991. <a href="http://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/news/ex-prostitutes-who-proselytize-6431069">http://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/news/ex-prostitutes-who-proselytize-6431069</a> <br />
<br />
She got our step study program and upon being released from jail she then took a "Prostitutes Anonymous" meeting back into the same jail to help the inmates. From there, she was contacted by Catholic Charities to help set up the Dignity Program about 1991. Dignity hosted weekly "Prostitutes Anonymous" meetings up to the last time I got a call about them I'm aware of in 2015. We changed our program name in 1995 to "Sex Workers Anonymous" due to the invention of the internet - but it's still the same program except we've now included webcam in our definition of abstinence for our members. <br />
<br />
Savannah Sanders has said in interviews she came through the Dignity Program herself - meaning she's also a product of both Dignity and Prostitutes Anonymous being she's attended our meetings as part of her recovery. <a href="http://downtowndevil.com/2014/06/05/58495/phoenix-human-sex-trafficking-super-bowl/">http://downtowndevil.com/2014/06/05/58495/phoenix-human-sex-trafficking-super-bowl/</a> So here we have at least two women who have touched our program and then gone on to not only help themselves - but others. <br />
<br />
I still answer the hotline for <a href="http://www.sexworkersanonymous.com/">www.sexworkersanonymous.com</a> - a hotline which is for anyone who for any reason wants help to exit the sex industry. In 1995 a film starring Lindsey Wagner was aired based on a story of a teenager we helped to find when the mother said the police were refusing to lift a finger to help her. The girl was retrieved in the possession of a violent pimp suspected in the murder of two other prostitutes in Canada. <br />
<br />
In 1984 I was arrested for the first safe house in the country for adult sex trafficking victims I created when an angry pimp retaliated by calling the cops and claiming I was "running a brothel" two blocks from the police station. You can read about my work over 30 years now working in this field at <a href="http://www.hightechmadam.com./">www.hightechmadam.com.</a><br />
<br />
Our hotline is still active. I'm still receiving calls from mothers of those who may be trafficked into sex work who we refer to <a href="http://www.swan-fellowship.us/">www.swan-fellowship.us</a> This is a program for parents of sex trafficking victims which started out of the Dignity program because of all of the mothers who were showing up asking for help for their daughters. Our hotline has taken over 500,000 calls as of the accounting we did off phone records in 2015. Our program, Sex Workers Anonymous, has chapters all over the United States, into Canada, and in five other countries. We provided Glendene Grant, the mother of Jessie Foster, with fresh information in 2007 on Jessie we received on that hotline from another woman who was being pimped by Peter Todd - Jessie's pimp suspected of being her murderer. <a href="http://www.pimpalert.com/">www.pimpalert.com</a><br />
<br />
Meaning on top of the calls we get from men and women wanting help to exit the sex industry, for any reason, whether trafficked or not, we also get calls at least weekly from people wanting help to organize a rescue of someone they care about. We have organized rescue missions not only in the United States, but again like the film depicted we also have in Canada, and even other countries such as the one in Russia where we helped to get women locked in a house forced to do webcam shows 24/7 released from their captivity. We spent a year "undercover" locating where the house was they were being filmed in, and then found someone willing to travel to Russia to get them released. We have interviews with someone we helped her and her children escape their pimp at both <a href="http://www.leavingtheliferadio.com/">www.leavingtheliferadio.com</a> and<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33weIPOhqVU" target="_blank"> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33weIPOhqVU</a><br />
<br />
I published the book for parents of someone who may have a child who is being targeted by a pimp on how to deal with that situation at <a href="http://www.lulu.com/shop/jody-williams/when-you-care-about-someone-being-pimped/ebook/product-22594465.html">http://www.lulu.com/shop/jody-williams/when-you-care-about-someone-being-pimped/ebook/product-22594465.html</a> and our "Recovery Guide" for our 12 step program at <a href="http://www.lulu.com/shop/jl-williams/sold-out-a-recovery-guide-for-prostitutes-anonymous/ebook/product-22531760.html">http://www.lulu.com/shop/jl-williams/sold-out-a-recovery-guide-for-prostitutes-anonymous/ebook/product-22531760.html</a><br />
<br />
I also created the first ever alternative sentencing and diversion program which launched in Los Angeles in 1988, and one in Allentown, PA in 1990. <a href="https://www.ncjrs.gov/pdffiles1/Digitization/142251NCJRS.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.ncjrs.gov/pdffiles1/Digitization/142251NCJRS.pdf </a> Both of which were extremely successful in reducing dramatically the repeat arrest rate of prostitutes, as well as a related reduction in HIV/AIDS rates in the town's sex workers during the period of time we operated these programs. <a href="http://articles.mcall.com/1991-08-23/news/2811835_1_prostitutes-pimps-wernick" target="_blank"> http://articles.mcall.com/1991-08-23/news/2811835_1_prostitutes-pimps-wernick </a> <br />
<br />
In 1994 I started working with Paige Latin to open the first ever drop-in crisis center for prostitutes in Canada. <a href="http://www.pace-society.org/library/sex-trade-and-police-response.pdf">http://www.pace-society.org/library/sex-trade-and-police-response.pdf</a> Her father died as she'd just got things rolling - so PACE came in and took over. Many of her original members then left and started PEERS. The "group of former sex workers" spoken of here were "Prostitutes Anonymous" members who rightfully so were maintaining their anonymity while putting together this ground breaking program out there. <br />

<br />
<br />
Now let me ask you something - if you were a private investigator who wanted to open a program in Arizona working with sex trafficking victims would you not at least make a phone call announcing your new program so our hotline would be aware of it? Being that parents call us from all over the world, and from Arizona, needing private investigative work, of which we have partnered with many investigators over the years to work successfully on cases - wouldn't you think this new agency would want to let us know about their work so we could consult with them if a call came in they could help those parents with? <br />
<br />
If you were operating a rescue and recovery program - wouldn't you then let not only us know about it but also Children of the Night? Children of the Night operates a hotline for juveniles to call for help as well as a residential program they've operated since 1979. What about Polaris? Wouldn't you be listed with them as a resource? Check out Polaris' resource for Arizona <a href="https://traffickingresourcecenter.org/training-resources/referral-directory" target="_blank">- https://traffickingresourcecenter.org/training-resources/referral-directory</a> You'll find our program, Sex Workers Anonymous, listed there but you will NOT find "12 Legions of Angels" nor Kelly Townsend as a private investigator. <br />
<br />
Let me just switch for a moment if I may over to Chris Butler. Chris Butler was a police officer for 20 years. After he retired, he opened up a private investigative agency. This agency was featured on Dr. Phil doing "husband stings". The show I saw was he would hire female operatives who would go out and try and seduce your husband for you on undercover camera. <br />
<br />
However, what was left off the story was that sometimes these female operatives would drug the men and then ask them to drive them back to a motel. On their way there, a cop would pull him over for a DUI. They would then shake the guy down for blackmail money. A dramatized version of the sting was show on an episode of "Ray Donovan" almost verbatim of how Chris operated. The bribe would be not to tell the wife or his employer about anything. <br />
<br />
Chris also bought some massage parlors. His friends who were narcotics officers were bringing him drugs from the evidence lockers he'd then have the prostitutes resell at his parlors. Chris also would shake down other madams and prostitutes for a cut of their earnings "or else". We found out about him from women begging us for help to escape a pimp who was a man with this many cop friends and with his investigative powers. <br />
<br />
Not easy my friend I tell you to organize those types of rescues. Which is why we appealed to one of his male deputies to go to the press about it. Why the press? Because complaints to Internal Affairs were pointless. <a href="http://patch.com/california/sanramon/private-investigator-christopher-butler-pleads-guilty0df4c86437" target="_blank"> http://patch.com/california/sanramon/private-investigator-christopher-butler-pleads-guilty0df4c86437</a><br />
<br />
Want more proof? We've been fighting a case for years for women who report men in law enforcement, immigration and even Homeland Security are the ones trafficking them. I've been threatened by police officers, attorney's and private investigators for even speaking to these victims. <a href="http://www.reviewjournal.com/news/las-vegas/las-vegas-restaurateur-says-former-fed-manufactured-criminal-case-against-him">http://www.reviewjournal.com/news/las-vegas/las-vegas-restaurateur-says-former-fed-manufactured-criminal-case-against-him</a><br />
<br />
Read how this victim falsely accused by Joohoon David Lee, a Homeland Security officer with Immigration, called his boss and complained only to be told "there's nothing we can do". Well if his boss says "there's nothing we can do" - that leaves us with going to the press as we did with Chris Butler, Operation Dollhouse, and other cases where we've brought in the press. Look at Eliot Spitzer's case. He wasn't arrested. If a tape hadn't leaked to the press - no one would know about him and Ashley Dupree. <br />
<br />
So I'd like you to see why someone saying they're a "private investigator" doesn't hold much water to me until I get to know someone better.<br />
<br />
So who is Kelly Townsend? According to my search on April 24, 2016 I don't find one active private investigator's license for him. <a href="https://webapps.azdps.gov/public_inq/sgrd/ShowLicenseStatus.action" target="_blank">https://webapps.azdps.gov/public_inq/sgrd/ShowLicenseStatus.action</a><br />

<br />
There is an article about him on <a href="http://www.investigationdiscovery.com/">www.investigationdiscovery.com</a> Here's the article - <a href="http://www.investigationdiscovery.com/tv-shows/last-seen-alive/about-this-show/kelly-townsend/">http://www.investigationdiscovery.com/tv-shows/last-seen-alive/about-this-show/kelly-townsend/</a> Note the article is NOT a reprint from a newspaper or magazine. Further note is says "follow up on crime feed". What's "Investigation Discovery?" <a href="http://www.investigationdiscovery.com/tv-schedule/">http://www.investigationdiscovery.com/tv-schedule/</a> It's a TV station. <br />
<br />
What's Crime Feed? Well there's an article there claiming Kelly found Dakota <a href="http://crimefeed.com/2014/06/last-seen-alive-3/">http://crimefeed.com/2014/06/last-seen-alive-3/</a> Notice no mention of her sister, nor of Tom Klatt either. Is "Crime Feed" a newspaper? Nope. It belongs to this TV station. <a href="https://who.is/whois/crimefeed.com/" target="_blank"> https://who.is/whois/crimefeed.com/</a><br />

Well this seems confusing as to who did what so I did a little more digging on Dakota's case. Look what I found - a news article saying the police found BOTH SISTERS on May 10, 2013 - a year earlier. <a href="http://www.wmicentral.com/news/latest_news/runaway-eagar-girls-found/article_a2480940-baa5-11e2-af7f-0019bb2963f4.html">http://www.wmicentral.com/news/latest_news/runaway-eagar-girls-found/article_a2480940-baa5-11e2-af7f-0019bb2963f4.html</a></div>

<span style="text-align: left;">The article by Kelly and Tom said the girls were found using "social media". Only I fed both of their names into Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, etc. I couldn't find a trace of either of them. </span></div>

<span style="text-align: left;">Here's a little more information I found on Kelly. Seems he attended an event at the Monte Carlo that Brenda Myers-Powell also attended, a member of our program who was recently featured in the documentary "Dreamcatchers". An event for some mysterious reason Brenda invited us to come hear her speak, only when we arrived we were told by security we were "banned from the building". </span><a href="http://www.laceygaines.com/kelly-townsend-body-guard/">http://www.laceygaines.com/kelly-townsend-body-guard/</a></div>

Oh here we go - here's their website. No phone number to call however. <a href="http://www.12legionsofangels.com/">http://www.12legionsofangels.com/</a> Plus the only case I see mentioned on the site is the same girl that I'm not sure what's the story there. Did Tom or Kelly rescue this girl? Why no mention of the sister? Why don't the police mention them as retrieving her? Why is there not one single news article about the case with their name on it anywhere other than their TV show?</div>

So this is what I can't really find on him. What can I find? Well he has a "gofundme" going:<br />
<a href="https://www.gofundme.com/p9cm6b5z">https://www.gofundme.com/p9cm6b5z</a> dated December of 2015. Good for him - he's raised $4475 so far it appears. It appears his wife, Julia, died and he has a lot of medical bills. <br />

I've buried more than one person in my lifetime. I know that just because someone dies - you don't get an obituary. An obituary is something you can pay to have printed. A death certificate however is a different story. I went to the Maricopa County, Arizona death certificate site which is supposedly the county where they live and I found this under Julia Townsend's name:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I just think his wife's name would have been in the incorporation papers for "12 Legions of Angel's" wouldn't you? Her obituary said she helped Kelly. But the only other name on the incorporation papers was Cheryl Briggs. Why would there be an obituary, but not a death certificate showing up? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
I went to the main death index which includes deaths for 2015 and I can't find a "Julia Townsend" in Arizona. <b style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;"><a href="http://tinyurl.com/z6wp85v">http://tinyurl.com/z6wp85v</a></b><br />
<br />
I've buried more than one person as I said above. Not everyone goes to a funeral home. If you're being cremated your body will go to the crematorium. Some people have "at home" funerals depending upon the laws of the state. I went to the Arizona Republic paper to see what their requirements were to place an obituary. They asked me for $225 for a photo obituary - but did not require the death certificate from me to place the ad. <br />

Well if Kelly did get stuck with huge medical bills for his wife, Julia, then he's in luck if he didn't sign for the services as the bills will go to the estate in Arizona. If there is no estate - then he's not on the hook for those bills. <a href="https://www.avvo.com/legal-answers/are-surviving-spouses-responsible-for-deceased-spo-1334423.html">https://www.avvo.com/legal-answers/are-surviving-spouses-responsible-for-deceased-spo-1334423.html</a><br />

I'm trying to find out more about this person and I did find a blogtalkradio interview with him and Julia D'Alfanzo <a href="http://www.blogtalkradio.com/voicesinjustice/2014/03/04/missing-persons-stealthfind-w-kelly-julia-learning-is-a-family-affair">http://www.blogtalkradio.com/voicesinjustice/2014/03/04/missing-persons-stealthfind-w-kelly-julia-learning-is-a-family-affair</a> So maybe I'm looking under the wrong name. On the interview, it referred listeners to <a href="http://www.stealthfind.com/" target="_blank">http://www.stealthfind.com/ </a> That goes to a product - not a rescue operation. <br />
<br />
The show was produced by Patricia McKnight. I remember her. I had asked her to come onto our show to be interviewed and she never responded back to me. <a href="https://survivorsjustice.com/">https://survivorsjustice.com/</a> In fact, none of my attempts to reach her to find out more about what she was doing were ever returned.<br />
<br />
Looking on her Linkedin page - this appears to be Kelly's wife. <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/julia-d-alfonzo-96253430">https://www.linkedin.com/in/julia-d-alfonzo-96253430</a><br />

The photos look like the same woman. In looking under her name oops! Appears she got served with a "cease and desist" order by the Arizona Dept. of Financial Institutions in 2007. <a href="http://www.azdfi.gov/Consumers/PublicRecords/Forms/CandD/LIEN_AND_BOND_SERVICES_LLC_C&D.pdf" target="_blank"> http://www.azdfi.gov/Consumers/PublicRecords/Forms/CandD/LIEN_AND_BOND_SERVICES_LLC_C&D.pdf</a> In reading this complaint now I understand why it appears she was an attorney also.

The website listed here shows a "Runaway Squad" <a href="http://www.arizonapis.com/">http://www.arizonapis.com</a>/ that appears on A&E. Ah A&E - the channel who brought us "8 Minutes" - a staged faked scripted show that got sued for "breach of promises" by imaginary defendants and where the producers were called "con artists" by the investors! Well going back to the reviews the audience wasn't buying this show. So far I'm not finding one real client or any link that seems to be working.<br />
<br />
I'm finding a paid obituary for Julia but not a death certificate. Okay maybe I'm looking under the wrong name. Which might explain why I'm not finding a death record for Julia anywhere. I tried looking under just the name "Julia" with Kelly as the husband. Couldn't find anything here - <a href="https://familysearch.org/search/collection/results?count=20&query=%2Bgivenname%3Ajulia~%20%2Bsurname%3AD%27Alfonzo~&collection_id=1202535">https://familysearch.org/search/collection/results?count=20&query=%2Bgivenname%3Ajulia~%20%2Bsurname%3AD%27Alfonzo~&collection_id=1202535</a><br />

<br />
Well look I could be totally wrong about not finding any record for marriage or death with Julia and Kelly. I'm not a private investigator by trade. I mean you need a lot of training to get a license for that I'd imagine as coming up with the wrong records could really waste a lot of time I would imagine. Out of curiosity I wonder how much training one needs.<br />
<br />
It seems Julia isn't a licensed investigator either. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgq1h1KhW9bY-yeciiLrWyNi1CaVrj55Us9cKqJyFGSKUDxbDVzQOvhSmo4dDrLVYZ1zEaVCafmqpSXZ0-4gaoPQ1chWNYlDg7J55-IEfkf-2RBBCqxOqWoOIIBmzI1hbhviwQHMi46H0Y/s1600/julialicense.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="179" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgq1h1KhW9bY-yeciiLrWyNi1CaVrj55Us9cKqJyFGSKUDxbDVzQOvhSmo4dDrLVYZ1zEaVCafmqpSXZ0-4gaoPQ1chWNYlDg7J55-IEfkf-2RBBCqxOqWoOIIBmzI1hbhviwQHMi46H0Y/s320/julialicense.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
So if Julia and Tom aren't licensed investigators, then Kelly was at least an "employee". Only according to the Arizona state website - <b>one doesn't need any training to be an "employee" of an agency. I'm serious - look:</b><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
What does this mean? It appears it means Kelly Townsend is an "employee" of a private investigator. Well actually an "expired employee". His other license is "pending". So technically he has no active license with the state of Arizona at this time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Dakota was found in 2013. According to the Arizona state licensing board during 2013 - Kelly nor Tom had a private investigator license at all!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I did however find a birth certificate for Julia Coleman born on December 20, 1958 in Encino, California. It appears she married in <span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21.4286px;">Tommy Hirai</span> in 1980 in California. However, Kelly's wife was introduced on the radio program as Julie D'Alfanzo. Her Linkedin profile says she was with a private investigative firm of "Coleman". </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So this appears to be the woman in the obituary. I just can't seem to find a marriage certificate to Kelly Townsend, nor her death certificate. I can't find a divorce degree for her from Tommy either - although a Tommy Hirai did die in California in 1982. But I still can't find a marriage certificate for her to Kelly under any name. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now according to his twitter, Kelly says he's "been an investigator for 20 years". <a href="https://twitter.com/ChildRescue">https://twitter.com/ChildRescue</a> Is there some reason why the only thing I can find them he seems to do is sell a GPS tracker? Oh no I take that back as that site is down also. His incorporation papers for "12 Legions of Angel's" is dated 2013 - so that's only three years. Julia's name isn't on the incorporation papers. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So without getting a professional involved, and going down to the courthouse - it's hard to say who is who and what is what exactly between these two. Without a death certificate - no cause of death is known for Julia. Did she die in an accident? Did she die in her sleep? I mean how did she die? If she died. If we know which Julie she is. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It looks like Julia got herself in some legal trouble in 2004 also. <a href="http://www.plainsite.org/dockets/inob1um/arizona-district-court/ochs-et-al-v-lien-and-bond-services-et-al/" target="_blank"> http://www.plainsite.org/dockets/inob1um/arizona-district-court/ochs-et-al-v-lien-and-bond-services-et-al/</a> She also never appeared in court to defend the case it seems. Here's where she's pretending to be attorney's <a href="http://www.mymoneypro.org/lawyer/Julia-Alfonzo-Lien-Bond-Services/">http://www.mymoneypro.org/lawyer/Julia-Alfonzo-Lien-Bond-Services/</a> </div>

These might be two different women but Julia on her Linkedin profile says she is in a trafficking group online called Project Exodus <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/groups/2462155/profile">https://www.linkedin.com/groups/2462155/profile</a></div>

By the way can I mention here why I started this movement in the 1980's? Because I was a witness to many forms of sex trafficking. I saw street pimps, gorilla pimps, romeo pimps and I saw cops running an escort service called "Talk of the Town". The service "Talk of the Town" used escorts who Cheri Woods had recruited to audition for the "Dating Game" produced by Chuck Barris. Those who didn't make the grade worked at the service - while those who were liked by men overseas like men we were doing oil deals with would "win" this date. Thinking they were going on a date with Chuck himself chaperoning - the women didn't think they might not come back home again. They got on the plane willingly. <a href="http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/2437/was-chuck-barris-a-hit-man-for-the-cia">http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/2437/was-chuck-barris-a-hit-man-for-the-cia</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I also witnessed Iran Contra. This was our government bringing in cocaine to sell to raise money for the Contra's while blaming the African American gangs for the drugs and crime. Sometimes a drug dealer wanted a white woman and those without family would then disappear on a diplomat's plane which couldn't be stopped or searched. <a href="http://nsarchive.gwu.edu/NSAEBB/NSAEBB2/index.html">http://nsarchive.gwu.edu/NSAEBB/NSAEBB2/index.html</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now who was I going to call for help when we had women disappearing on diplomat's planes with a CIA agent telling me to "think of it as her giving a sacrifice for her country". My attitude was if she wasn't enlisted in the military I didn't think they had the right to kidnap a private citizen and sell them like that. Nor did I think it was right when you had a police officer telling you that you were going to prostitute for him "or else". </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As I had a Beverly Hills cop do to me. He let me know I was either going to work for them "or else" disappear. Now you know why I put together a warehouse as a safe house. Where do you go when running from the CIA or the cops? Or as we saw with Joohoon David Lee - Homeland Security. <a href="https://www.justice.gov/usao-cdca/pr/former-hsi-special-agent-pleads-guilty-taking-bribes-korean-businessman-being">https://www.justice.gov/usao-cdca/pr/former-hsi-special-agent-pleads-guilty-taking-bribes-korean-businessman-being</a></div>

We can't call 911 - nor can we call a trafficking hotline that says to "call the trafficking task force" when they're the ones' we're running from as Rep. Portman witnessed himself recently. <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/failures-in-handling-unaccompanied-migrant-minors-have-led-to-trafficking/2016/01/26/c47de164-c138-11e5-9443-7074c3645405_story.html">https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/failures-in-handling-unaccompanied-migrant-minors-have-led-to-trafficking/2016/01/26/c47de164-c138-11e5-9443-7074c3645405_story.html</a> In that case, Rep. Portland stepped in. But note he stepped in for boys being forced to work at a farm. I highly DOUBT he would have stepped in if those teens had been girls who were working at the Dog Patch strip club. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Which makes you wonder what's going on here. I certainly never heard of Kelly Townsend until recently. Recently when actual survivors of sex trafficking were reporting to me this guy was calling them up not only offering them a job on a 110 acre "ranch where they are housing trafficking victims they rescue", but further asking them to DRIVE from the east coast in one case to Arizona. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Why DRIVE? If you ask me it's because then there's no trace of you going there. I mean honestly at this point I'm wondering if he was even married. I did a marriage license search for Kelly remember in Arizona and California and it came back with nothing. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Which you combine what these women, especially that one, is telling me Kelly is asking her to do and knowing the connections here with the CIA, military, etc., and you can see why I'm just wondering what the heck is going on. Especially since I'm not seeing any type of counseling services connected to Julia's social media. If she's helping sex trafficking victims. I mean do you see ONE counselor here? I know a very good "deprogrammer" in Phoenix who works with sex trafficking victims doing intervention and I don't see her name on any of their profiles. WHY are there no listings of even one counselor who specializes in sex trafficking victims on their site if they do so many "rescues" they make over $1,000,000 a year according to their zoominfo listing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Where's this 100 acre rescue? I don't see any licensing for such a rescue under the name of "12 Legions of Angel's". By the way - here's a lesson for you in sex trafficking rescues. You run a long term facility and then you have to get licensing. Guess what a pimp can do then looking for someone who has been placed into a facility for care? You got it - just go through the list like shooting fish in a barrel. <a href="http://www.azdhs.gov/documents/licensing/databases/ALL_LIC_PROV_LIST.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.azdhs.gov/documents/licensing/databases/ALL_LIC_PROV_LIST.pdf</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So maybe they operate it under a different name. Only if it is, there is no license for such an operation with his name on the license. I checked with the auditor to licenses such operations in Arizona and his name didn't come up. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now when this guy was talking to this survivor who was telling me about this job offer, a young single woman mind you, he supposedly hadn't said one bad word about me. She called me up wondering if I'd heard of such a place. The truth was I had not. Now I would think being I answer this hotline, and have for 30 years now, if someone opened up a 110 acre rescue operation then certainly I'd be advised of it so I could send someone who calls us up to the program. I give out referrals every day. I don't think the phone doesn't ring at least once a day from someone wanting help. Yesterday I spoke to a woman for an hour who was telling me how her boyfriend is getting ready to leave her because she's "depressed all the time" now she's in recovery. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Organizing rescues? Been doing it for over 30 years now being I was organizing them before I even got into recovery in 1995. I've offered continuing educational units for counselors, social workers, and even law enforcement and I'd love to help train their staff. But I had to tell her I hadn't heard anything about them. Now I know his twitter says he's been "doing this 20 years" but that would mean he was doing this in 1996. I can guarantee you he wasn't in the field in 1996 or I would have heard about him being we were the ONLY programs working in this field in the tri-state area of Arizona, California and Nevada organizing rescues. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I know when they first started posting on Facebook I tried opening up a conversation with them about what services they offer and they wouldn't respond to me other than polite shut-downs. Were they being cold to me because they run a Christian program? I doubt it since I'm a Christian, and even an ordained minister. I was ordained when I was 17 years old in a church my mother was a board member of. Went to theology school for two years to get that ordination. So I don't think it's that. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But then when Kelly supposedly told this woman I was "crazy" well that my attention. Why? Because in the last year I've had THREE private investigators calling up people I"m speaking to, or doing business with, or helping with their recovery, or networking with, or receiving assistance from, or in some fashion interacting with and telling them the same exact thing which is "Jody is crazy".</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
One of those people was a man who works with retired military, police, athletes, etc., who help us with physical support on tough rescues. I had a private investigator out of San Mateo claiming she was a member of this man's board in fact. When I asked him about it because she was stalking me online - he said "No she's not". I would post a comment or an article in Linkedin and this woman was coming in behind every line or word saying something to the effect of "you're crazy". </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then each person who would respond to me in any positive manner - she was calling them up with the same threat "if you respect your reputation you won't speak to her because she's crazy". She then proceeded to call this man up and tell him the same threat "if you speak to Jody then you'll lose all respect in this field".</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So let me get it straight. He helps with physical extraction of victims in tough situations where they might have to be physically taken out of say a strip club where bouncers might be holding them hostage, and I run a hotline to connect people up to such services, and if he speaks to me presumably to do what we both do then he's going to "lose all credibility"? What? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Of course I sent that private investigator a threat to file a defamation lawsuit and a complaint against her license. The minute I did that she not only stopped but I noticed her profile completely altered. She at least removed the false statement on her resume online she worked with this man now she was caught. Again, here's a list of domestic violence shelters of which I would imagine trafficking houses also qualify and I'm not seeing something with Kelly Townsend's name. You can also see in this why I don't use the lists. <a href="http://www.azdhs.gov/documents/licensing/databases/DVTX_Report.pdf" target="_blank"> http://www.azdhs.gov/documents/licensing/databases/DVTX_Report.pdf</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The second was in connection with Greg Reese and Kevin Brown. You remember Kevin Brown I'm sure. He was the ex-cop turned rescuer who was working with Greg Reese, a private investigator, out of Orange County who was the subject of "8 Minutes". A show which portrayed itself to be a reality show about sex trafficking rescue who in reality was hired actors paid to act out their roles. I remember in fact getting a call a year before the show came out from a guy claiming to work with Kevin Brown. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
He told me Kevin Brown was doing these rescues and he wanted me to send people who call our hotline to a motel room where they could be offered help. When I asked him why I would do that he said because Kevin had been doing these hotel stings in Orange County, but the word had "hit the streets" what he was doing and the prostitutes weren't coming to the hotel anymore. This news article by the way says Greg Reese "started his own private investigative firm". <a href="http://www.latimes.com/local/great-reads/la-me-c1-prostitute-squad-20131002-dto-htmlstory.html" target="_blank"> http://www.latimes.com/local/great-reads/la-me-c1-prostitute-squad-20131002-dto-htmlstory.html</a> Note Greg Reese doesn't hold any California licensing. By the way, what I'm doing here is what I teach moms worried about their daughter's to do when checking in on a guy as to whether he's telling the truth or not. Does he say he's a "private investigator"? Check out the state board then. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Nope.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then I asked the obvious "why would I send someone calling me for help to a motel room to be offered help by Kevin?" I mean what was it he was offering them? This guy told me he was offering to "take them to a 110 acre ranch in the desert where they could escape and heal". When I asked how successful this guy was he told me "oh yes his success stories are there with him when he makes this offer". After seeing Greg Reese is not a licensed investigator, and he's not got a church incorporated - yeah I think I know why they're calling me up thinking I'd send them women over to a hotel room. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Speaking as someone who knows getting us into recovery is not so easy - I asked where Kevin got his training from to know how to help us break that "addiction" many of us have to the sex industry once it's programmed into us because I didn't remember him in any of my classes. Nor did I remember selling him any of our "Recovery Guides". </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
That's when he started not answering me. I have studied programs for over 30 years now, and I dug into 20 years prior to my work and found programs who address us as strictly trauma, or drug addiction, or vocational training bomb. I also found all faith based programs had bombed. So I asked of course if I could see this program and meet with his survivors. I read everything I can on this subject, and I study every program that I can in this field, so that I can learn from both the good and the bad. All professionals do such constant learning.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When I asked to see this ranch and meet his survivors as well as Kevin Brown - he ran off the phone and never called me again. The next time I saw him it was on "8 Minutes" and then that whole thing that popped off. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The private investigator who was stalking people I was speaking to and smearing me in Orange County was connected to a group being run by Meg Munoz. <a href="https://ruthjacobs.co.uk/2014/03/02/meg-munoz-former-sex-worker-trafficking-survivor-ally-and-rights-advocate-interview/" target="_blank"> https://ruthjacobs.co.uk/2014/03/02/meg-munoz-former-sex-worker-trafficking-survivor-ally-and-rights-advocate-interview/</a> Seems Abeni is incorporated in California - but her name is Margaret - not Meg. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Ms. Munoz was on the Orange County Human Trafficking Task Force as well as a chapter of SWOP. I gave them both a "cease and desist" order and they stopped. The PI in San Mateo not only is the same city where Greg Munks and the other officer work who were caught with their pants down in Las Vegas with "Operation Dollhouse" in 2007, but she was working with the prosecutor's office there who was also a member of HEAT. In fact, all three of them were connected to HEAT. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now since Greg Munks was also on the Human Trafficking Task Force, and Munoz was connected to the force, as well Greg Reese, and in Arizona we saw Officer Armendariz die before he could testify at a corruption hearing who was on the human trafficking task force - a pattern seems to be developing here. Which is I now have three private investigators running around behind me trying to make sure people don't speak to me, do business with me, help me out, help the people who call our hotline out, return my phone calls, etc. <a href="http://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/news/a-deputys-death-opens-the-door-onto-a-world-corruption-in-sheriff-joes-mcso-6462478">http://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/news/a-deputys-death-opens-the-door-onto-a-world-corruption-in-sheriff-joes-mcso-6462478</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now considering each one of them has been exposed so far as either being connected to corruption, with their pants down, or outright fraud such as what Kevin Brown was doing, but even straight up sex trafficking if you take a look at what was going on with Joohoon David Lee who was not only living in Las Vegas but also plead guilty to a bribery charge in Los Angeles - a pattern is beginning to emerge here.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I mean take a good look at Joohoon David Lee. <a href="http://www.reviewjournal.com/news/las-vegas/las-vegas-restaurateur-says-former-fed-manufactured-criminal-case-against-him">http://www.reviewjournal.com/news/las-vegas/las-vegas-restaurateur-says-former-fed-manufactured-criminal-case-against-him</a> This guy jacked up a completely innocent family for sex trafficking through his job at Homeland Security - Immigration. Then he not only took bribes, did not arrest another man who was running a trafficking operation, but he further then went to Korea to actively bring back a female victim of sex trafficking back to the states to work in prostitution. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Tell me what woman is going to be able to say no to a Homeland Security agent with Immigration? I mean this is truly the 800 pound gorilla who can do what he wants. In fact, his boss even said that when this innocent victim called to complain about what he was doing. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Did the boss jump up and fire the guy? Nope. Told the innocent victim whose wife was being strapped to an ankle bracelet to trace her movements 24/7 there was "nothing he could do". No one told the guy to call me or I would have shown them what we did with Chris Butler, Kemp Shiffer, Joe Conforte, and other cases we've been working on. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So I didn't even bother looking into this guy Kelly Townsend's background until I had someone tell me he was saying I was "crazy" to a woman who said she was friends with me. That was after he tried to get her to drive to Arizona to take a job at this "ranch" while pretending to be a private investigator. His emails to her were signed as if he was an active current investigator. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I don't lie about what I am. I'm not perfect. I'm human. I don't pretend to be a licensed investigator. I don't pretend to have 20 years experience. I can't say if this man's wife is really dead or not because I don't know him and just because I can't find anything could be a computer glitch. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But I can say this - nothing about him seems to check out as real. It all seems to be hocus pocus connected to yet another faked TV show. One where the viewers all agreed the whole thing looked both "fake" and "amateur". Well it was because I would never even THINK of filming a rescue mission. You know why? Because it could screw thing up and people's lives are at stake. I'm not going to risk getting someone killed to film a TV show. No amount of money is worth losing a victim because of a TV show. It's why I've never filmed anything I've ever worked on which has been successful missions. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My testimonials span 30 years, and are from different people, different newspapers, different reporters, and you can hear them in different voices I have up in their various interviews. Nothing about Kelly's success stories seem to even check out as real. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>I can settle this right here. If Kelly is what he says he is and that's someone working to rescue victims then why hasn't he introduced himself to our hotline and offered his services to our callers? </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Which is what I told this woman who has no experience at all working with other victims in recovery. Why would he offer her a job before he'd offer someone like myself who has 30 years of successful experience? A researcher did a 10 year study into the program I created which can be found in the book "Leaving Prostitution" and she wrote wonderful things. The interviews were just great about us. </div>

So the question remains - why was this guy trying to talk a young single survivor into driving down to Arizona?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I see the $4475 on his fund raiser is supposedly for "medical bills" but it's not going to the hospital. It's going to him. Usually hospitals will find a way to waive hospital bills after someone dies. There's paperwork but that's usually what they do. That's what happened with my mom who had $200,000 in unpaid bills not covered by Medicare when she died. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Kelly if you're reading this - I didn't even start checking you out until you told someone to stop talking to me as I was "crazy". That's becoming a pretty common theme out of people in one way or another connected with Kevin Brown, "8 Minutes", A&E, and Relativity Media. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It's certainly not something our members are saying to me. In fact, the only ones who seem to be saying it seem to be connected to the same group of shysters. I have a printout of 10 liens against Julie by the way for civil judgments against her for unpaid bills it appears that I found public records on. I may struggle to pay my bills because I'm out of work and disabled and trying to take care of my sick daughter, three pets and run Sex Workers Anonymous but I don't have a complaint from the state telling me to "cease and desist", nor a "rip off report" for $2500, nor do I have things about me not checking out. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There's something very wrong here when Kelly is supposedly targeting survivors online and trying to talk them into coming to work for him on this compound because every source I'm asking around about this is not telling me there is such a compound. If there was, I doubt this gofundme site would be up and everything else. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>So any survivors out there, or anyone for that matter - if someone starts coming at you saying "Oh don't talk to Jody - she's crazy" I suggest you start doing some homework on THEM</b>. Because a pretty clear pattern is emerging from what I'm seeing. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><i><br /></i></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><i>I've said this before and I'll say it again - if someone tells you they're wanting to help alcoholics and they don't even know who Bill Wilson is - then something is wrong.</i></b> Now, if they know who Bill is and they want to bash and smear him - then what does that have to do with the fact that before AA NO alcoholics got sober? None. They died. 100 percent mortality rate. AA's not perfect? What is? But NO ONE got sober before AA . So if he gets a few sober - than that's amazing. Our mortality rate of those coming out of sex work is even higher than that of an alcoholic. Especially with all the serial killers running around after us and the high rate of suicide. So whatever may be or not be wrong with me - we're sitting here talking about this subject BECAUSE OF ME. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Go on look. Find me a news article or TV show or magazine piece where someone was saying sex trafficking was real and that we needed to change our legal system that GOT TRACTION which predates my work you can verify at <a href="http://www.hightechmadam.com/">www.hightechmadam.com</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So if they don't know who Bill is and don't even consider sending someone to AA if this was alcoholism - then you need to take a real good look at that person. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Because right now one of two things is the case with Kelly. <b>He is either completely lying to this woman about the job and the ranch or . . . . . ?</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Everyone who was in NA for some time knew I was a member of the program, and also if they knew me they knew I already went to the midnight Saturday night meeting on 3rd and Bridger. I often took men and women I was working with there when they'd have trouble sleeping on a Saturday night in early recovery from drugs and sex work.<br />
<br />
I came out of the meeting to find my car wouldn't start. A handsome young man offered to help me start the car who had been at the meeting. I allowed him to and he got it started. I later learned he had gone out during the meeting to rig the car to fail in order to get to know me. He then said he'd come by and finish looking at it at my house the next day and offered to follow me home to make sure I got home okay. How caring!<br />
<br />
My mother went into surgery a few days later and didn't wake up for ten days. My husband had just left town and wasn't coming home. I was still recovering from a stroke and not working. Without my husband's income, I couldn't pay the rent on my apartment. The doctors told me either I had to move in with hr to care for her or my mom would have to go into a nursing home for full-time care. I had my daughter to get to school and my mother's care to deal with and now I was facing having to move with no money and being in a lot of pain. This young man stepped up to help me get my kid to school, deal with the doctors, pack my apartment, and just seemed like a blessing to me at first. He had told me he had a girlfriend when we met and I was much older than him so I didn't think it was sexual or even romantic. I was 42 years old and he was only 18 years old so it didn't cross my mind he was being anything other than a fellow addict in NA trying to be of service.<br />
<br />
He then told me he'd broken up with the girlfriend and was interested in me. For months I put him off - but then after a medical emergency where I almost died I broke and threw myself into what I thought was a midlife crisis affair with a younger man. Only he wouldn't stop seeing me no matter how many times I tried to break it off. After sleeping together for some months, he started introducing me to his friends. They were cops, sheriff's, marshall's, private investigators, etc., and I was impressed with the quality of his friends being such "reputable" people. He was taking me to BBQ's, car races, and other events where he was getting me introduced to his "friends". <br />
<br />
Within a year, he was talking to me about moving in together. He was taking me apartment hunting, and even introduced me to his father explaining that we were going to be living together. I had no reason to think this was anything other than a "real" relationship. As the date came for us to move into an apartment we'd found he started telling me that his "friends" were more than just involved in law enforcement. To show me what he meant, he took me over to one woman's house who was supposedly a retired guard at Clark County jail. The house was a B&D house right out of "50 Shades of Grey". He explained to me by keeping everything about B&D then no one was involved in "prostitution" and therefore no one was getting arrested. <br />
<br />
I asked him why he was showing me this when he knew I was also running Sex Workers Anonymous and his answer was simple - your husband has left, your mother is about to die, and you aren't physically up to returning to work at a 9 to 5 job. He knew how much money I'd made when I was in the sex industry and his friends needed someone to help with the management end of their operation. When I asked why he needed me to help this woman run one "house" he explained there was much more than a "house" involved - but a whole network of operations they were all involved in spanning from the borders of Mexico in California clear to a spot in Kentucky. Seems the officers would transport the drugs, guns, stolen items, along with the women even in their work cars so if stopped then they'd say it was "evidence" they were transporting. The women were just "inmates being transported". That by working in relays they were covering most of the USA this way. <br />
<br />
I told him I'd quit the business back in 1985 and I had no idea why he was even thinking I'd be interested in being a part of this. This is when he revealed he was a Romanian gypsy, and that both he, along with members of his family, were involved in this operation and if we were going to get married then I had to understand what his job was. I told him I thought he was a car mechanic who wanted to open his own shop. He then told me how he was a mechanic all right but not what I thought. Seems they would offer to park the trick's cars for them as a valet service, and then they were replacing authentic car parts on these luxury cars with cheap knock-offs which would often break down days later. Then they'd sell the parts as "refurbished" through the back door of Autozone. He showed me the car parts alone he was dealing in was bringing in $10,000 a week. <br />
<br />
I told him I'd quit because I didn't want to ever go back to jail ever again. This is when he set about showing me how "fool proof" the operation was. Right before my eyes he showed me records of an inmate in the Las Vegas jail which was there one minute, and gone the next. That's how much control over the system these guys had he told me assuring me that "with the chief of police, the prosecutor, and a couple of politicians in their pocket" I wouldn't have to worry about being arrested if I decided to join him in this operation. <br />
<br />
I allowed him to show me how everything was set up and took mental notes. Then I created a file outlining the whole operation and stupidly took the file to the Chief of Police in Las Vegas at the time, Chief Gillispie. The next morning I had a knock on the door. One of the women in the operation who was pregnant was there. I asked what happened and she told me she'd been put out on the street at 2:00 a.m. when they came in and cleaned everything out - the women, the drugs, the furniture, everything. She had just been put out on the street because she was pregnant and she said they didn't want to transport her anywhere in her condition. She had no money, no clothes, no family, and nowhere to go. I went about getting her settled into a motel and then went to see what had happened. Everything down to the woodwork had been cleared out and I could even smell the bleach from the cleaning. <br />
<br />
I contacted a reporter and asked him to get involved. He arranged a "ride along" with the Las Vegas police on the weekend I told him there would be a drop. The one operation that was left was the Asian's in a private house. I couldn't get to the women in a private house and they were only seeing "johns" who came in from the airport from China speaking Mandarin, This prevented us from getting help to them to get them out. The police had told me there was no way to get an undercover agent in the operation because they "didn't have anyone who spoke Mandarin". I had been offered a job as director of ATLAS that year and thought I was about to take the job. <br />
<br />
Only I opened the paper to see Terri Miller, a school teacher from Pahrump, had been given my job instead. No one had told me and the man who had offered me the job, Adam Freer, was no longer working with the Salvation Army. I told Terri about the whole operation going on and what we were trying to shut down and expose and she looked at me like I was insane. I told her she'd soon "see for herself I wasn't crazy" and waited for the day to come. <br />
<br />
Sure enough, my phone rang. Terri told me 24 women, and bags of drugs, had just been found in a private home and the victims had been taken to the Salvation Army. She asked me to go with her to help her interview the women. When we arrived 20 minutes later - we were told the women had been "sent home". I was told no file had been taken on who the women were, they refused to give me an address, and also refused to let me speak to any reporters in this matter. This was "Operation Dollhouse" in 2007. <a href="http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/SAN-MATEO-COUNTY-Two-lawmen-caught-in-raid-of-2563465.php">http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/SAN-MATEO-COUNTY-Two-lawmen-caught-in-raid-of-2563465.php</a> Note Greg Munks was also a member of the trafficking task force in San Mateo. I had told the authorities whoever was making the drop that day for this operation would be coming from San Mateo. I was again patted on the head like I was crazy and blown off by everyone involved in this case I spoke to.<br />
<br />
Rick Rizzolo had been drugging customers at the Crazy Horse, then padding their credit card bills. He'd send them home in taxi's he was in control of through a friend so no one wondered why all these zonked out people were being poured into a cab. When they realized they'd been ripped off - they'd call the club where they'd be threatened with exposure to their boss or wife how the charge happened. Sometimes photos were taken while they were knocked out with the dancers who were told to go along with the program. When they would go to the police - they were then threatened with drug possession or being under the influence charges if they pressed. That and some publicity in the local paper their wife, boss and clients would see. <a href="http://canadafreepress.com/article/rick-rizzolos-first-week-out-of-prison">http://canadafreepress.com/article/rick-rizzolos-first-week-out-of-prison</a> The dancers would sometimes run over to Buffalo Bill's school to escape where his wrestlers would protect them until we could arrange transportation out of state for them. The day after Rick was released from prison a death threat was left on Jim's car. He was found to have GHB in his system in a report that was being hidden by the coroner. <a href="http://www.americanmafia.com/inside_vegas/7-7-08_Inside_Vegas.html" target="_blank"> http://www.americanmafia.com/inside_vegas/7-7-08_Inside_Vegas.html</a> Shubert was the Las Vegas prosecutor at this time. <a href="http://www.reviewjournal.com/news/crime-courts/schubert-former-prosecutor-convicted-drug-charges-found-dead-home" target="_blank"> http://www.reviewjournal.com/news/crime-courts/schubert-former-prosecutor-convicted-drug-charges-found-dead-home</a> He was found dead in 2013.<br />
<br />
We had been dealing with Kemp Shiffer for a long time. But he was operating "within the law" because he was bringing women in from California to work at a legal brothel. He would get them a work permit to work as a waitress in the restaurant of the legal brothel at 16 years of age where sex is legal in Nevada at 16 years old. He finally crossed the line however and got TWO YEARS for over 12 years of turning women out into prostitution. <a href="http://goingconcern.com/2011/8/former-irs-investigator-cum-accounting-professor-claims-he-took-money-from-18-year-old-prostitute-to-protect-her-denies-pimp-status">http://goingconcern.com/2011/8/former-irs-investigator-cum-accounting-professor-claims-he-took-money-from-18-year-old-prostitute-to-protect-her-denies-pimp-status</a> Sure it was "legal" when they started. But if they got sick, got arrested, developed a drug problem - out they went from the legal brothel. Then with a prostitution license on their record, maybe being 17 or 18 years old - then what? To the streets is where they went. They were why I helped Sharnel set up a program in northern Nevada instead of southern Nevada. The teenage rejects and cast-offs from the brothels were all winding up in Reno, Lake Tahoe, Carson City, etc. Her program started in 2010 <a href="http://www.reviewjournal.com/news/ex-prostitutes-walk-tough-road-economic-freedom-amid-recession">http://www.reviewjournal.com/news/ex-prostitutes-walk-tough-road-economic-freedom-amid-recession</a> It was shut down when she was framed for a felony and sent to prison for five years on a first offense.<br />
<br />
I was getting calls from victims of Chris Butler's operation out of California also. It was clear this was part of the same operation. Chris had been a cop for 20 years, and upon retiring became a private investigator who had even been on the Dr. Phil show. He also opened up massage parlors where he sold drugs through them given him by active duty narcotics officers. You can read about his arrest here in 2012. <a href="http://patch.com/california/sanramon/private-investigator-christopher-butler-pleads-guilty0df4c86437">http://patch.com/california/sanramon/private-investigator-christopher-butler-pleads-guilty0df4c86437</a> Try getting women away from a cop slash best in the country private investigator and you have an idea how hard our job was to help the women who called our hotline.<br />
<br />
Now could these women call the National Trafficking Hotline? No. Guess where they would have been referred to if they had? You got it - the local trafficking task force! So they called us and we had to do what we could do while having cops running around telling anyone who would listen we were absolutely "nuts". That or threaten they'd lose their funding, or they're tarnish their reputation by "associating with a bunch of ex-hookers" or 100 other things they could come up with to make sure no one took our phone calls to help THEIR VICTIMS. <br />
<br />
In 2014, Officer Armendariz, was found dead in his home before he could testify at a corruption hearing. He was an officer on the local trafficking task force. <a href="http://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/news/a-deputys-death-opens-the-door-onto-a-world-corruption-in-sheriff-joes-mcso-6462478" target="_blank"> http://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/news/a-deputys-death-opens-the-door-onto-a-world-corruption-in-sheriff-joes-mcso-6462478</a><br />
<br />
In the corruption case of Paul Tanaka, <a href="http://www.dailynews.com/government-and-politics/20150819/former-undersheriff-paul-tanaka-says-corruption-charges-should-be-dropped-codefendant-pleads-guilty">http://www.dailynews.com/government-and-politics/20150819/former-undersheriff-paul-tanaka-says-corruption-charges-should-be-dropped-codefendant-pleads-guilty</a> the only officer who has been charged so far is Juan Lopez. Juan says he believes this is because he ran against Greg Munks for office. Remember that name? The man who was Chief over Paul was Lee Baca. He's now stepped down because of corruption charges in 2014. <a href="http://www.dailynews.com/government-and-politics/20140107/los-angeles-county-sheriff-lee-baca-steps-down" target="_blank"> http://www.dailynews.com/government-and-politics/20140107/los-angeles-county-sheriff-lee-baca-steps-down</a><br />
<br />
Chief Gillispie stepped down in Las Vegas in 2012 in a corruption case involving 15 other officers. <a href="https://nevadastatepersonnelwatch.wordpress.com/2012/11/24/fifteen-members-of-las-vegas-sheriff-douglas-gillespies-organization-have-been-served-with-a-federal-complaint/" target="_blank">https://nevadastatepersonnelwatch.wordpress.com/2012/11/24/fifteen-members-of-las-vegas-sheriff-douglas-gillespies-organization-have-been-served-with-a-federal-complaint/</a><br />
<br />
In 2014, a constable was caught checking into files on porn performers. <a href="http://www.reviewjournal.com/news/las-vegas/constable-shred-investigation-porn-star-searches" target="_blank"> http://www.reviewjournal.com/news/las-vegas/constable-shred-investigation-porn-star-searches</a> We don't know the names of who he was looking for, but I know we were getting women out of the sex industry away from their traffickers who wore uniforms and they weren't too happy about it. <br />
<br />
In 2013, I got a phone call from woman who resides in Pasadena. She was telling me after being trafficked for 40 years, she told her traffickers she wanted to retire. Then she says she was drug out of her home and slapped with two fake prostitution cases. Further being told if she didn't get back to work she'd be hit with a third charge and then deported. They told her they knew someone on Homeland Security who would see to it she was deported, and then the authorities back in China would receive a photo of her taken while she was drugged that would net her the death penalty. They further told her they knew people in the Chinese government who would see to it she was executed in shame. We hired her an attorney who then ordered the booking tapes of her arrest to see if what she told us was true. He then was threatened by an officer and an attorney he reported to us. <br />
<br />
I'd like introduce you to Jooloon David Lee, a Homeland Security officer who lives in Las Vegas, and was found guilty of bribery in Los Angeles. <a href="http://mynewsla.com/crime/2015/12/18/ex-la-agent-for-ice-admits-taking-bribes-in-sex-slave-case/">http://mynewsla.com/crime/2015/12/18/ex-la-agent-for-ice-admits-taking-bribes-in-sex-slave-case/</a> Mr. Lee was also falsely accusing a family of being the traffickers to keep up appearances he was doing his job, while using his office to protect the people he was not only taking bribes from, but assisting in trafficking of the women. <a href="http://www.reviewjournal.com/news/las-vegas/las-vegas-restaurateur-says-former-fed-manufactured-criminal-case-against-him" target="_blank"> http://www.reviewjournal.com/news/las-vegas/las-vegas-restaurateur-says-former-fed-manufactured-criminal-case-against-him</a> Notice he was also connected to Immigration <a href="https://dockets.justia.com/docket/alaska/akdce/3:2008cv00283/11419" target="_blank">- https://dockets.justia.com/docket/alaska/akdce/3:2008cv00283/11419</a> Further note this man he was hassling, and putting an ankle bracelet on his wife to keep track of where they were called Lee's boss who told him there was "nothing he could do" about the situation. WOW. <br />
<br />
In 2013, nine massage parlors were shut down. One of the pimps was named Zhang. Zhang by the way owns property in Pasadena, California, and is related to the woman who called me for help. <a href="http://cjonline.com/news/business/2014-04-07/woman-involved-sex-trafficking-wichita-massage-parlor-gets-probation" target="_blank"> http://cjonline.com/news/business/2014-04-07/woman-involved-sex-trafficking-wichita-massage-parlor-gets-probation</a> The women in this parlor had been tricked into coming here from China. The arresting officer spent from 2009 until 2013 trying to get these arrests to stick. Seems when he was a cop he got too much interference from other cops. So he waited until he retired and went to work for the zoning department to get these arrests and free those women. Both he and the judge received death threats so the court didn't allow them to have bail during the trial. <br />
<br />
Note these arrests in 2015 of a hotel owner who was arrested in China who was also a member of the People's Congress, or Chinese government. <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/china/11636148/Hotel-king-among-47-on-trial-over-Chinese-towns-sex-trade.html" target="_blank"> http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/china/11636148/Hotel-king-among-47-on-trial-over-Chinese-towns-sex-trade.html</a> Check out the number of massage parlors and escort services this guy owned there. A man who regularly entertained people from America in his five star hotel.<br />
<br />
Giving her every reason to believe these people would carry out their threats to her if she didn't go "back to work". The attorney who threatened our attorney then threatened me with a stalking charge if I spoke to her again. He then lied to her and claimed she didn't need my help as he'd expunged her criminal record for her. Only he didn't. When I went to show her that her criminal record was still showing up - I then got a call from a phone number coming from the Pasadena police department from an officer who threatened me again with a stalking charge if I spoke to her again. <a href="http://www.latimes.com/local/great-reads/la-me-c1-prostitute-squad-20131002-dto-htmlstory.html" target="_blank"> http://www.latimes.com/local/great-reads/la-me-c1-prostitute-squad-20131002-dto-htmlstory.html</a> When I asked if he wanted to hear why she was calling me for help he just threatened me again and got off the line. I recorded the threat. I also have the copies of her fake police reports that are charges signed by a judge. <br />
<br />
So I think you can see why I got concerned when I read about another ex-officer out of Orange County going out to prostitutes "doing outreach" named "Kevin Brown". Note Kevin Brown had retired from the Orange County police force. <a href="http://www.latimes.com/local/great-reads/la-me-c1-prostitute-squad-20131002-dto-htmlstory.html" target="_blank"> http://www.latimes.com/local/great-reads/la-me-c1-prostitute-squad-20131002-dto-htmlstory.html</a> So he had to have known Mike Corona <a href="http://www.ocregister.com/articles/-661698--.html">http://www.ocregister.com/articles/-661698--.html</a> as well as Sheriff Don Haidi. <a href="http://www.ocweekly.com/news/lets-play-where-are-they-now-haidl-gang-rapists-6448633" target="_blank"> http://www.ocweekly.com/news/lets-play-where-are-they-now-haidl-gang-rapists-6448633</a><br />
<br />
When I got a call from Kevin's "assistant" telling me this story of how Kevin had been this cop for 20 years, and then upon retiring had "found God" and decided to go out and "help prostitutes" all I could think of was "he was watching this stuff going on for 20 years and didn't step up before?" I asked this guy what Kevin was doing when the victims he was supposedly rescuing turned out to have their traffickers be cops and he had no idea what I was talking about. I asked how he was bypassing the traffickers screening to get them up to a motel room - and he had no idea what I was talking about. But he was asking me to send prostitutes up to this guy's hotel room where they would then "go off to a compound somewhere in the desert"? Are you kidding me? I asked to meet this guy and see this ranch and of course never heard from the guy again until "8 Minutes" came out.<br />
<br />
When I got the threat to stop speaking to this woman from a Pasadena cop, I contacted the Pasadena Chief to speak to him about it. I got no answer. I went over his head to the city manager. That prompted Chief Sanchez to start calling me three times a day to come in and speak to him in person. I asked him to get the records from the Wichita case so he'd know what I was talking about and I'd give him a week. During this time I wrote to the LAX security and Homeland Security. I told them about this case and that women were coming in from China to be trafficked. This was about June of 2013. <br />
<br />
Notice the men in the recent Seattle arrests had been using women from China, but then "when things got hot" started bringing in women from Korea. <a href="http://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/crime/online-site-where-men-rated-prostitutes-is-shut-down-charges-to-be-filed/">http://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/crime/online-site-where-men-rated-prostitutes-is-shut-down-charges-to-be-filed/</a> Things weren't just hot here in the USA, but pretty hot over in China too from what I'm reading. Sheldon Adelson, the new owner of the Review Journal I don't think is too happy with me about these Chinese crackdowns - <a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-01-15/macau-sex-ring-bust-shows-china-s-expanding-crackdown-on-graft">http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-01-15/macau-sex-ring-bust-shows-china-s-expanding-crackdown-on-graft</a> Might be why a reporter told me the Review Journal had put a "lifetime black list on my name and that of SWA no matter how many women die for not having our hotline number". What a wonderful person. These women are telling me they're being raped, beaten, terrorized, forced into selling drugs and performing prostitution, by cops - and when I go and help them get out of the situation alive I'm the bad guy? With all the willing women out there - they are forcing these women and I'm the bad guy?<br />
<br />
These fake arrests aren't just happening in Las Vegas either. <a href="http://reason.com/blog/2016/03/04/the-somali-sex-slave-ring-that-wasnt" target="_blank"> http://reason.com/blog/2016/03/04/the-somali-sex-slave-ring-that-wasnt</a> Innocent people were also arrested in Nashville and Minneapolis. A cop was caught finally pimping women in New York <a href="http://nypost.com/2016/02/02/nypd-cop-ran-tri-state-prostitution-ring-officials-say/">http://nypost.com/2016/02/02/nypd-cop-ran-tri-state-prostitution-ring-officials-say/</a> Kids were being trafficked right out of the trafficking safe house in Ohio. <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/failures-in-handling-unaccompanied-migrant-minors-have-led-to-trafficking/2016/01/26/c47de164-c138-11e5-9443-7074c3645405_story.html">https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/failures-in-handling-unaccompanied-migrant-minors-have-led-to-trafficking/2016/01/26/c47de164-c138-11e5-9443-7074c3645405_story.html</a><br />
<br />
When I was setting up the appointment to go speak to the Pasadena Chief who is having his station audited at the time <a href="http://www.pasadenastarnews.com/government-and-politics/20160417/pasadena-police-need-an-independent-auditor-plus-civilian-oversight-report-says">http://www.pasadenastarnews.com/government-and-politics/20160417/pasadena-police-need-an-independent-auditor-plus-civilian-oversight-report-says</a> I had Meg Munoz, who runs Abeni, who is part of the OC Human Trafficking Task Force, AND the leader for SWOP in Walnut, California, going online and telling people I was "stalking and threatening her". I DIDN'T KNOW THE WOMAN! <a href="http://www.swopusa.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Honolulu-Sign-On.pdf">http://www.swopusa.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Honolulu-Sign-On.pdf</a> But I have screen shots of her asking people if they knew where I lived so she could "file stalking charges against me and have me arrested". Since Chief Sanchez lives in Orange County and at the same time he's asking me to "come in and speak to him" I've got her trying to find out where I live so she can have me hauled off on a stalking charge? Didn't sound good to me. <br />
<br />
I pointed out to Meg and everyone else there was no way she'd make a stalking charge stick as I didn't know her, wasn't threatening her, and wasn't even talking to her. Then she switched up to threatening to have me carted off on a 5150 charge. Why? Don't know as I don't know her. But I found the timing a little too weird and backed off going into the Pasadena station in person to speak to Chief Sanchez. I offered to speak to him via email about the case and he handed me off to a deputy. I asked the deputy if he wanted to speak about it by email and never got an answer.<br />
<br />
Now let me ask you something - how am I supposed to get women away from this type of trafficking when we're dealing not only with police officers, but also when the people I'm calling for help are refusing my calls in fear of "losing their funding" or "harming their reputation by speaking to Jody"? <br />
<br />
Welcome to the world of modern sex trafficking and the challenges of helping these victims. I think you understand now why there's a need for a hotline like ours where the callers call who aren't going to identify as "trafficking victims" nor be able to call the police on their traffickers in order to get help from victim services, nor can they get help from the local trafficking task forces. Now you might also understand why a SWOP member would step up in Seattle and claim "no those women weren't coerced". If Meg in SWOP is also part of the trafficking task force where this kind of corruption is going on - it's not a big leap to think they might have someone step up and do that to deflect any investigations into further trafficking victims who might be on that website. Or looking into who those traffickers might be. <br />
<br />
But the truth always comes out in the wash and sooner or later the authorities are going to have to look into how these cases are connected. Not only how they're connected but why I've been saying the system that was set up by people who don't understand how the modern American sex industry, and thus the trafficking, operates. Which is as long as the funding is coming all from the same source - then the traffickers can always find a way in. This is why it's absolutely essential to have our program as a 12 step program, and thus one who doesn't receive federal funding, involved within the very structure of the trafficking programs. It's also why our hotline who is simply set up for ANYONE who wants help to exit the industry can call - even if they aren't identifying as "trafficking victims" and can't go to the police for help for obvious reasons. <br />
<br />
It's also why people are now talking about a law to protect corrupt officials from being prosecuted. <a href="http://www.mintpressnews.com/lawmakers-trying-pass-bill-exempting-politicians-arrest-prosecution-corruption/201937/">http://www.mintpressnews.com/lawmakers-trying-pass-bill-exempting-politicians-arrest-prosecution-corruption/201937/</a> The truth coming out seems to have a lot of people running for cover. <br />
<br />
If you want to stop modern day sex trafficking - then you have to put our program back where it was before money got involved when the Trafficking Act of 2000 passed. Ever since the money grabbing started - we've been pushed right out of the arena. If these cases, along with those of Holtzclaw, don't show you why we need to be put back in there to help these men and women - then you're not listening. This is also why they've taken over sex industry blogs such as "Tits and Sass" and are doing everything in their power to make victims think they have no way out.<br />

<br />SEX WORKERS ANONYMOUShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07209075603082526867noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5315331966306529296.post-14764330715993378322016-04-21T00:13:00.000-07:002021-02-03T03:18:08.614-08:00TITS AND SASS BLOGI first found the blog "Tits & Sass" in 2007. I had been sucked into helping Melissa Farley do a report (so she claimed at the time) for the State Dept., and a related press conference, which was held in September of 2007. You can read about that report, and conference, at www.hightechmadam.com<br />
<br />
As I've said before, after the room was filled with reporters, I had been hooked up to the microphone, and we were about to go on stage, Melissa pulled me over to the side. She asked me if I would make two statements from the podium. The first was that "all prostitution was rape". The second was that all sex workers were in some fashion a "victim". Third, that all forms of sex work needed to be "abolished" or "outlawed. I explained to her not only did I not personally agree with these claims, but that if I were to do so I'd lose all my credibility for speaking my personal truth. Anyone who knows me know I speak the truth as to what I know to the best of my ability. <br />
<br />
If I am going to lie for money - I'll go back to sex work and I'd be filthy rich as I was when I got arrested in 1984. Speaking as the person who launched the first 900 phone line application for phone sex in Los Angeles in the early 1980's - I was making $30,000 a week all legal from just that phone sex operation. So I know well not only the illegal side of the sex industry, but also the legal operations as well. I told Melissa "no". I was there to release the report I'd helped her to write and I was standing behind that and that alone I told her.<br />
<br />
After this conference, my phone rang off the hook from people who were contributors and subscribers to the "Tits and Sass" blog. They told me to "turn on the news". This is when I saw Melissa had taken the reporters into the hallway and put words in my mouth - assigning me to her "abolish prostitution" comments at this press conference. To say I was angry was an understatement.<br />
<br />
But then my phone went dead and my power went off. I went outside to check the lines, and discovered my car had been trashed, and my lines had not only been disconnected, but cut. My daughter, who looked identical to me from a distance at the time, told me she'd go across the street to a payphone to call for help. As she crossed the street, she was mowed over by a woman who owned an ADT office by there, who was also close friends with Metro police. She had her back broken in three places from being run over this way in broad daylight with nothing obstructing the drivers' view to see she was clearly in the crossing walk. The cop on the scene refused to take photos, a witness statement from the many witnesses she was mowed over and knocked unconscious, but also to do a breathalyzer test on the driver I demanded. I could think of nothing but she couldn't have been sober to hit her like this with nothing obstructing her view. The cop then issued my daughter a ticket for jaywalking while she was getting her x-rays and split before speaking to me, or complying with my requests. <br />
<br />
Only one person by the way knew where I lived at that time - Melissa Farley. While Lance Gilman, owner of the Mustang Ranch, is on the board of Nevada Power, and also the Nevada Board of Economic Development, of which my insurance, power, cable, phone, internet and TV companies were all held by meaning he could have accessed my account information. So anyone else who could have accessed my accounts for things in the state could have found out where I lived also. My address was not on my drivers license.<br />
<br />
Shortly after this, I received a call from a local church. They asked me if I "got the check". I said "what check?" Then I was told they'd given Melissa a check for $80,000 they had meant for my work she had said she'd process through her nonprofit status. I got a few other calls adding up to $180,000 in donations people had said she'd collected from people thinking it was going to me to be a part of NCAST - the nonprofit she had been claiming at this press conference she was launching. When I asked about this money at first she acknowledged it. She said "once we reach $300,000 I'll be hiring you to provide direct services and your salary will be $120,000". When I realized someone had canceled my car insurance, and I had no outreach car, I told her I needed an advance to get a car. I especially needed one now my daughter had a broken back and was unable to walk or get on the bus. She then said "money - what money"? <br />
<br />
That's when I wrote in to the "Tits and Sass" blog to alert the men and women in this industry what went down. Word spread. Because she then couldn't find a real sex worker to speak for her after that - she created the fake "Stella Marr" who was supposedly leading "Survivors Connect". Norma Jean Almodovar helped us to uncover evidence Stella was a "catfish" and expose her for this. <br />
<br />
Word spread about Melissa and no one from the sex industry would help her with her research. Everyone rallied together to shut her and her crones out. <b>Clearly this meant they had to be destroyed because it meant we had a system to relay the truth to each other and rally together against outsiders. </b><br />
<br />
So too every other site owned by anyone in competition with the legal brothels. The Erotic Review, Craigslist, Backpage, Myredbook, Rentboy - along with Tits and Sass - needed to be taken over in order to restrict the free flow of information. Which we have seen a complete take down of these other sites, and the owners, since. I have lost communications with all of these site owners after their arrest who we would share information as to who they thought might be needing help to leave the industry, or escape a pimp. We never reported any of this to law enforcement either.<br />
<br />
What's the difference between members of Sex Workers Anonymous and that of active sex workers? <br />
<br />
Not a damn thing. <br />
<br />
Anyone in this business knows most of us swear we're "quitting for life" only to return a year, two years, three years, or even 20 years down the road. Once we're in that business - we're branded for life. A judge recently was found dead in Henderson and what did the news say? "Stripper who became Judge found dead". <a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/nevada-judge-found-dead-tributes-stripper-article-1.2565800">http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/nevada-judge-found-dead-tributes-stripper-article-1.2565800</a> It follows us even in death. In Alcoholics Anonymous they call it "turning from a cucumber into a pickle". Once you become a "pickle" you can't go back. Spouses, lovers, landlords, employers - ALL contain people who view an ex-sex worker as no different than an active sex worker.<br />
<br />
For all I know - I even could go back into the sex industry. I could go and manage a strip club or a massage parlor. I could go write a script for a porn. I could go open up a webcam studio. So what's the difference between me and anyone else in the sex industry? Really nothing other than I "have the desire not to return to sex work". That's it. <br />
<br />
I carry the same stigmas, the same scars, the same problems and issues as anyone else who is right now this minute turning a trick, making a porn, talking some guy off on the phone. Any REAL sex worker knows this.<br />
<br />
Ones on our side anyway. <br />
<br />
When I started finding myself, and Sex Workers Anonymous, as a group, under attack in 2015 by women like Maxine Doogan, Domina Elle, Meg Munoz, and other women connected to SWOP - I had turned to the owners of the Tits and Sass blog asking them "what's going on?"<br />
<br />
For the first time - I heard silence.<br />
<br />
Then I found this -<br />

They don't like us? Fine. They want to warn people to stay away from us? Fine. But why not that? They certainly did about Melissa Farley. Why has every single mention of our name, and comments I've made, all been completely wiped clean?</div>

<br /></div>
Remember - I'm an ex-sex worker. I'm no different than any other sex worker who might turn around tomorrow and say "I want to quit". <br />
<br />
Now let me ask you - if you turn around and become like me, you decide to leave the sex industry, and you join our program or not, but you also become an "ex-sex worker" - what does our removal of our posts mean? The Amish call it "shunning". <br />
<br />
Melissa Farley asked me to say "all prostitution was rape". I told her "no" that some of sex work is a business like any other business. A business within which some people are forced into that business for one as in trafficking victims. Some of the customers are harmed by disreputable unethical providers such as johns who get "rolled" or catch a disease. So our business is like the tobacco industry or alcohol. We have some customers who are harmed by the products. Some people are forced to produce the products. There are some laws against the products like how anyone under 18 can't smoke or under 21 can't drink. <br />
<br />
So let me ask you - if this blog was a blog about anorexia, and if all reference to programs like Overeaters Anonymous, or treatment centers was removed, then it no longer is a blog about anorexia - but what instead? A site to promote anorexica where anyone who doesn't share in the behavior is then excluded. <br />
<br />
Now does this mean the site is truly about free expression from ALL anorexics on the subject - or has it become instead about the promotion of the behavior only? What does it then tell it's readers will happen to them if they stop the behavior? They'll be shunned meaning the site is then PUSHING anorexia on those who will then start thinking "gee if I quit sticking my finger down my throat then I'm going to be shunned also so I got to think twice about this". <br />
<br />
That is no longer a blog by anorexics about anorexia to share views on the subject - but instead it becomes propaganda and control. Because if they're selling you something - then what is it they're trying to get you to buy? So again is this about the sharing of information and views - or about creating a system of control? <br />
<br />
You tell me. Because I've never ever made one post on their site trying to convince anyone to quit the sex industry. All I've ever posted is information on what's going on with us on this end of the world - like what was happening with Melissa Farley at that press conference. <br />
<br />
Which I could show you if not that all those warnings were removed. <br />

<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="padding: 0px !important;">
The problem Savannah when you cut off talking to someone who has been in the same field as you for more than 37 years now as I have, is that sometimes, just sometimes, we know a little bit more about the game, and the players, than you. I came to you as an ally, and as an ex-sex worker which one day you will probably be yourself. Very few people die in this field. You listened to rumors about me, prejudged and hung me, without so much as one personal meeting or phone call with me to see for yourself who and what I am. Considering that’s exactly the kind of treatment sex workers are trying to get the non-sex workers to stop doing to them – then you’re treating me like you’re not wanting others to treat us. I have success in leading a movement from non-existence totally in this country to now one of the biggest movements this country has seen in our lifetime other than the civil rights movement.</div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="padding: 0px !important;">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="padding: 0px !important;">
The problem is that you failed to understand that the trafficking we’ve been fighting, and speaking about, since day one was not about pimps. There were laws on the books in the 1980’s against pimps. One phone call and he’s carted off on charges. What we were fighting was men within our own government, law enforcement, and the media forcing us into the sex industry, or even outright sold, that some of us have died to try and prove exist and to have this country address it. Jeane Palfrey was one of those women who died trying to prove it was our government, not some street pimp, who forced her into not only operating as a madam, but murdered two of her sister sex workers, Brandy Britton and the Baton Rouge Madam. Both of who were connected to David Vitter as she was also. </div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="padding: 0px !important;">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="padding: 0px !important;">
She could have kept her mouth shut and continued to do what they told her and she would not have been arrested. But she didn’t want sex workers to continue to be treated that way, so she balked. For that, she was arrested. Then they tried to silence her over and over again. For the first time, her phone records were proving it was OUR GOVERNMENT that was trafficking us. Before she could reveal the rest of the names in her book, and also testify at Congress about how madams from her on down to my time, were being coerced and forced into the sex industry by our government using us no different than plantation owners used slaves she was murdered. I fought to have a full murder investigation done into her death – and wound up being chased by cops for almost a year. A warrant was issued for me impersonating myself? </div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="padding: 0px !important;">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="padding: 0px !important;">
This is happening right now to sex workers, and the case tied into the Seattle arrests. Now either you’re completely ignorant of what’s going on in connection with that specific ring I’ve been fighting since 2007 that uses cops, Homeland Security, ICE, private investigators, sheriff’s, prosecutors, attorney’s, etc., who traffick these women or you’re a part of the women who may be losing their one chance at freedom by Mary circling their names on a list of sex workers’ ads that is none of her business to speak for them in the press and to the cops, as well as Maxine who tried to have sex workers in San Francisco denied help in 2008. </div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="padding: 0px !important;">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="padding: 0px !important;">
Nuremberg was about those who were just as guilty as those who murdered Jews, because they refused to listen to what was going on right under their noises. Some knew and ignored it anyway. Either way – they were just as much of a part of those people’s death and pain whether it was by accident or directly. </div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="padding: 0px !important;">
<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="padding: 0px !important;">
Because all you had to do was pick up a phone and talk to me. You not doing that again means you’re part of the problem, or not interested in being a part of the solution. Either way – you’re on their side now and I will treat you as I treat them.</div>

<span data-offset-key="6alcr-0-0">What have I been saying since 2013? I've said that when I call the human trafficking task forces, or police, for help with a trafficking case, I get ignored. When I push to get some help - I then get threatened. </span><br />
<br />
Why? I'm being told it's because those within the trafficking system are now the traffickers, or working with the traffickers, which makes them part of the ring.<br />
<br />
That when other people have tried to report trafficking they're witnessing, they get ignored. When they push, they then get threatened with an arrest, a restraining order and/or a 5150 emergency psychiatric hold if they don't "back off" trying to get help for a victim of trafficking who came to them for help - and then they came to me where I told them I was having the same problem.<br />
<br />
Last year I asked a private investigator who works on trafficking cases if he's been able to get anyone to look at his cases - and he laughed and said "no".<br />
<br />
Rep. Portman found teens being trafficked right out of the trafficking shelter in Ohio. He says he "wants to have an oversight committee do a report".<br />
<br />
The problem is that these men are not held accountable. This story here is telling us of a Homeland Security agent who was traveling between Los Angeles and Las Vegas (my beat now), where he was falsely accusing this couple of being traffickers to make it appear he was working on a case. Then HE was the one traveling to Korea where he was transporting a victim back here from the states. He was also taking bribe money from the traffickers. We read the man went to the guys' boss about what was happening to them and his boss said "nothing we can do about it". Which is appears there isn't.<br />
<br />
Seems we can charge the Homeland Security guy for sex trafficking. Now what have I been saying? I've been saying I didn't start this movement against pimps. In the 1980's, there were laws on the books about pimps. Anyone could make a call to the police and get a pimp arrested for pimping, kidnapping, rape, violence, taking their money, etc.<br />
<br />
However, what was NOT on the books was a system where we could call and get help when it was OUR GOVERNMENT that was trafficking us. If you look at my clips from then at www.hightechmadam.com you'll see THAT'S what I was talking about. The trafficking I saw during Iran Contra where our government was selling women, and for cases like how Chuck Barris was using the "Dating Game" to trick women onto a plane thinking they were going on a big date with him as chaperon - but who never came back again because he was with our CIA.<br />
<br />
THAT was what we created our hotline for - because those types of victims can't just call the police because either they're not believed or they are involved in some manner - as we've seen over and over again from Chris Butler, to Holtzclaw, to now this Homeland Security guy Lee.<br />
<br />
Rep. Portman - we do not need an oversight committee that has no power. There has already been a report ordered into the Pasadena Police who have been caught on tape bragging they could "frame someone for homicide". They threatened me to "back off" helping a victim who called me for help. The report came back saying "more money was needed for better training". Oh great - screw up and the report comes back you get more money?<br />
<br />
I said with Operation Dollhouse it was OUR police from California involved in the trafficking. Who was caught that day? Two cops from California. Yeah I'm real "crazy". Greg Munks was one of those officers and he is also a trafficking officer in San Mateo. I said these cops were taking drugs from the evidence room and reselling it through the prostitutes. Caught in the raid that day with Munks was bags of drugs. He also runs a drug diversion program in San Mateo by the way - and is now involved with Paul Tanaka's corruption case..<br />
<br />
Jim McDonnell refused to talk to me when he took over the Los Angeles task force. He then assigned the lead position to another officer who was connected to - Paul Tanaka. Lee Baca, his Chief, has stepped down because of corruption charges. <br />
<br />
Officer Armendariz from Arizona's trafficking task force was founded hung in his home before his corruption case could be heard. Or are we going to keep calling Jody "crazy" when more and more news clips are coming out validating everything I've been saying - including that Jeane Palfrey was murdered. Why? Because she was a trafficking victim being forced to be in the sex industry by men in our own government who murdered her before she had a chance to tell her story at the ethics hearings. She wasn't murdered to cover up Ted Cruz being in her phone book. She was murdered before she could testify as to who was trafficking her within our own government, that was connected to two other womens' deaths, and before she could reveal another name in her "Black Book" that Montgomery Sibley doesn't know because I was the last person to speak to her about it before she went to her mother's house that fateful night never to be found alive again after that night.<br />
<br />
Let's see you post that Homeland Security agent's face all over the internet like you just did that poor girl Kristin Perry who now is going to have every creep in her town on her doorstep because the media posted her photo and home address along with the story about her being busted on 21 counts of prostitution. Oh I bet she's really going to get a job after those photos came out.<br />
<br />
Is anyone listing out there? Or are we going to keep calling street pimps "traffickers" in order to stop people from looking at who the traffickers include in this country today. Not Columbia. Not Thailand. Not Africa. Right here with our own sons and daughters.<br />

She told me to "respect her boundary" and not speak to her about the Seattle arrests. My response was:<br /><br />The MINUTE you start butting into an issue about sex trafficking involving an operation that I'm pulling women out of to safety is the minute YOU butted into MY BOUNDARY dear Mary. </div>
<div class="TweetTextSize js-tweet-text tweet-text" data-aria-label-part="0" lang="">
<br /></div>
<div class="TweetTextSize js-tweet-text tweet-text" data-aria-label-part="0" lang="">
You can't come sit on my head, crap on top of it, and then when I say "you crapped on my head now clean it up" go running for the "respect my boundary" issue. </div>
<div class="TweetTextSize js-tweet-text tweet-text" data-aria-label-part="0" lang="">

Now on the off chance you have no idea what's really going on here you need to read the news story on this link <a class="twitter-timeline-link" data-expanded-url="http://traffickingandprostitutionservices.blogspot.com/2016/04/whoop-there-is-is-proof-of-what-ive.html" dir="ltr" href="https://t.co/eG2JDuaL5W" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="http://traffickingandprostitutionservices.blogspot.com/2016/04/whoop-there-is-is-proof-of-what-ive.html"><span class="tco-ellipsis">…</span><span class="invisible">http://traffickin</span><span class="js-display-url">gandprostitutionservices.blogspot.com/2016/04/whoop-</span><span class="invisible">there-is-is-proof-of-what-ive.html</span><span class="tco-ellipsis"><span class="invisible"> </span>…</span></a> </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="TweetTextSize js-tweet-text tweet-text" data-aria-label-part="0" lang="">
What is speaks about is a sex trafficking operation I've been helping sex workers escape since 2007. I tried to help these women in Las Vegas and I managed to get the American women out but not the Chinese women. </div>
<div class="TweetTextSize js-tweet-text tweet-text" data-aria-label-part="0" lang="">
<br /></div>
<div class="TweetTextSize js-tweet-text tweet-text" data-aria-label-part="0" lang="">
They were being kept captive in a house that since it was private property = we couldn't think of how to get in there to get them out. The only way was to stage a raid. Now since no one believed us that the police from California were involved - we staged the arrest in Operation Dollhouse for when we knew the cops would be making a drop. Then the police turned around and just let 24 women go right back to being forced to prostitute? </div>
<div class="TweetTextSize js-tweet-text tweet-text" data-aria-label-part="0" lang="">
<br /></div>
<div class="TweetTextSize js-tweet-text tweet-text" data-aria-label-part="0" lang="">
That's NOT a sex worker Mary - that's a victim of sex trafficking, torture, rape and slavery. Something you should give a shit about as a woman. Now, everyone ignored us about this until Paul Tanaka shot a man down in cold blood in front of other cops in connection with this ring of which Chris Butler was a part of also. </div>
<div class="TweetTextSize js-tweet-text tweet-text" data-aria-label-part="0" lang="">
<br /></div>
<div class="TweetTextSize js-tweet-text tweet-text" data-aria-label-part="0" lang="">
We then went to LAX and Homeland Security and alerted them to what was going on with Chinese women. They had an agent on the inside, who warned them and they switched over to Korean women. The Korean women who were freed in the arrests that you stuck your nose into an operation I"ve been working on since 2007. </div>
<div class="TweetTextSize js-tweet-text tweet-text" data-aria-label-part="0" lang="">
<br /></div>
<div class="TweetTextSize js-tweet-text tweet-text" data-aria-label-part="0" lang="">
Now, I've been telling people that these police officers, Homeland Security, and ICE are the ones trafficking these women NOT STREET PIMPS. That what they've been doing is fake arrests to appear to be busy. Now the Seattle police have truly risked their lives to make that arrest Mary. The men in this trafficking operation have threatened to murder these women, their children, other police officers, judges, etc. </div>
<div class="TweetTextSize js-tweet-text tweet-text" data-aria-label-part="0" lang="">
<br /></div>
<div class="TweetTextSize js-tweet-text tweet-text" data-aria-label-part="0" lang="">
The undercover agent truly risked his life to save those women. Now if a few independent sex workers truly did get caught up in that raid to make it happen then they're heroes because I'm speaking to women who have been forced to prostitute for these men since they were 8 years old. </div>
<div class="TweetTextSize js-tweet-text tweet-text" data-aria-label-part="0" lang="">
<br /></div>
<div class="TweetTextSize js-tweet-text tweet-text" data-aria-label-part="0" lang="">
Their children and siblings have been forced into it and they've been threatened with public shaming and execution if deported back to China. So I'm sorry if you don't understand what's going on here because women like Maxine Doogan and Domina Elle are not who they appear to be. Domina Elle has been receiving money from Swanee Hunt. Maxine has been working as essentially a "union buster" and "influencer" for these men who want you to stupidly think you're sticking up for your sisters while you are in fact helping them to enslave them. </div>
<div class="TweetTextSize js-tweet-text tweet-text" data-aria-label-part="0" lang="">

<div class="TweetTextSize js-tweet-text tweet-text" data-aria-label-part="0" lang="">
So you want to come stick your nose into an operation I've been helping women escape from since 2007 - you're going to hear from me like it or not. You don't like it? BUTT THE FUCK OUT THEN. Now you read that article and take a good look at what I'm trying to help these women get out of and you might have a little different view on what's going on here.</div>

<br />
Now, what have I been saying since 2013? I've been saying the trafficking task forces, the police, Homeland Security, and other agencies that we're supposed to be able to turn to for help with REAL trafficking cases has been:<br />
<br />
1. Refusing to take the reports.<br />
<br />
2. Immediately after trying to make the reports - we've been threatened by either/or a police officer, a private investigator, or an attorney to essentially "back off".<br />
<br />
3. When we have refused to back off, then when we've continued to talk to real victims we're then threatened with a restraining order, an arrest, or a 5150 psychiatric cart off to who knows where.<br />
<br />
This has been happening to not just me, but other people who have come to me saying they had the same thing happen to them.<br />
<br />
Then what? They have to come up with cases to make it appear they're actually doing something - so they're coming up with either completely fake cases, or they're going after the "competitors" to the larger criminal operation. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://reason.com/blog/2016/03/04/the-somali-sex-slave-ring-that-wasnt">http://reason.com/blog/2016/03/04/the-somali-sex-slave-ring-that-wasnt</a> This case is NOT an isolated incident. As you can read by the above article, it's also happening in Las Vegas and Los Angeles. I've been encountering this in every region where there's a trafficking task force including Arizona and Texas. A trafficking officer was found dead before he could testify in a corruption hearing. <a href="http://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/news/a-deputys-death-opens-the-door-onto-a-world-corruption-in-sheriff-joes-mcso-6462478">http://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/news/a-deputys-death-opens-the-door-onto-a-world-corruption-in-sheriff-joes-mcso-6462478</a><br />
<br />
Since 1987, victims of sex trafficking have been able to come to www.sexworkersanonymous.com for help. In cases where those victims have wanted to press charges against their traffickers, we've helped support them coming forward to do just that. However, starting in 2007, was when we first started seeing the authorities covering up information with "Operation Dollhouse" in Las Vegas. We had sought out the media to report on this after I'd taken information on a national network of traffickers to Vic Vigna, head of Vice, and ATLAS, led by Terri Miller, only to be ignored. <br />
<br />
I then went to Chief Gillispie, and found all evidence disappeared overnight EXCEPT the Asian houses featured in the press. We had found a reporter to come in on that case thinking the publicity would force arrests. Instead, we stood by and watched as 24 victims were sent right back with their pimps despite bags of drugs being found on the property. The victims visas' were not clarified before their release which in itself is against the law. <a href="http://talkaboutwidget.hmbreview.com/topic.php?t=460">http://talkaboutwidget.hmbreview.com/topic.php?t=460</a><br />
<br />
An officer who was caught in Operation Dollhouse, is now involved in the case involving Paul Tanaka here in Los Angeles. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/SanMateoCountyNews/">https://www.facebook.com/SanMateoCountyNews/</a><br />
<br />
You heard what the boss said when Mr. Lee contacted him with a complaint about how his agent was acting. That he could "do whatever he wanted". <br />
<br />
Well that does seem to be the case. When I'm afraid to go near an officer right now for fear of being falsely arrested, or even carted off on fake accusations of being "crazy" - the traffickers have won haven't they?<br />

<br />
There are a lot of interviews up with survivors who are part of the Christian church. However, Jewish women can be victims also. Sex Workers Anonymous is not a religious program, although it is a spiritual program. One of our co-founders, Jaime, was Jewish. We have men and women of all religious belief's, and none. The choice of a higher power is individual within the 12 step program structure. <br />
<br />
Please note the fundraiser Jacqueline was speaking about in the interview is over. We did help her with this through TAPS, not SWA as a 12 step program can not be involved in fund raising. <br />
<br />
Within the sex trafficking world, there are not many Jewish based programs who get involved in this issue. I have seen the Federation of Jewish Women, but the Anti-Defamation League told me in an email they "did not want to discuss sex trafficking" with me whn I wrote in to their main office. Many of you have heard the name "Heidi Fleiss" who is Jewish. One does not know if her time in the sex industry was entirely voluntary. For one thing, she was mentored into the industry by Alex Adams, dubbed the "Mayflower Madam". However, Alex was an informant for over 10 years. She's the one who snitched on Heidi to get her arrested the first time. Alex would do that to any competitor. In the movie about her life, there was a reference to a threat given to her about not revealing any names. Charlie Sheen's name was not revealed by her - but by the police finding a check with his name on it. Considering he's now offering $20,000 to have his ex-girlfriend murdered, who knows if he might have been worried what she'd say back then. <br />
<br />
I've spoken to many other of the "high class" madams about this issue, and so far every one of them agreed they had the same experiences with our government as I did - that our government was pumping them for information from their clients, using them to transmit information to some men for them, and to do various other tasks. When I was asked to sell women to them who would then be sold to Saudi Arabian, and Mexican, men for drug and oil deals - I refused. I've had people say "oh someone was pulling your leg". No - they showed me their operation and a plane of women being transported to show me not only how it was done, but that I couldn't do a thing to stop it as no one would believe me back then. When I refused - that's when all hell broke loose. Jeane Palfrey said the same thing happened to her as to why she got arrested also. Alex confirmed she had this experience also. As to other madams who are alive - I can't say. With Heidi however, we didn't speak much before her going to jail as the news has pointed out - she had a bit of a drug problem. I remember warning her that her girlfriend would "rat" on her, and that the police would arrest her parents. She accused me of being "crazy" and didn't want to hear about any of it. <br /><br />Jacqueline also speaks about feeling a lack of support from her Jewish community in this interview. Now I've read that many Jewish men feel prostitution, and pornography, are "okay" and I understand that. But of all people, I would think they especially would understand the difference between voluntary sex work and the issue of being forced. While I have no problem with porn like Playboy, when you hear stories from women like Linda Lovelace saying she was forced to make "Deep Throat" by her husband pointing a gun at her from off camera, and no one on the set would step up to help her - well that's different than her making an adult film as a performer. I have no problem with the film "Deep Throat" and even saw it in the theaters when it first came out (I snuck in a back door being curious what everyone else was seeing in the film). But when I learned of this - well then it's a film of a woman being raped. Apples and oranges.<br />
