Trafficking and Prostitution Services

Dear Members of ABC: Please allow me to introduce myself.  Now let me ask you a couple of questions before going further. 1.  Have you heard of sex trafficking happening today in America? 2.  Are there legal brothels in California? 3.  Have you heard or seen of the Mob Museum in Las Vegas, Nevada? Here's why I ask.  In the late 70's and early 80's - America devoutly did not believe sex trafficking was real.  So much so that the "Happy Hooker" was on the NY Times Best Seller list, the XXX film "Deep Throat" was being played in mainstream theaters that if you were "hip" you saw it, Playboy had it's "Gold Key Club" across the country that wealthy businessmen had their business functions at, and Dolly Parton was singing "nothing dirty going on" in her musical about a brothel in Texas with Sylvester Stallone as her romantic lead where she was the madam and he was the local sheriff (based on a true story)

What's the connection between Rick "Freeway" Ross, Gary Webb, Jeane Palfrey and myself? I read this article today - http://www.huffingtonpost.com/marc-levin/gary-webb-was-right_b_6024530.html?ncid=fcbklnkushpmg00000013 and http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/03/01/a-drug-kingpin-the-cia-and-prisoners-freeway-rick-ross-and-america-s-mass-incarceration-problem.html This is what I wrote in response: Gary Webb is not unique. The CIA got Rick Ross locked up to silence him. To silence me, the High Tech Madam, they tried to kill me for over a year. I started the sex trafficking movement to tell people that not all in the sex industry are there by choice. What do you do when someone from our own CIA or FBI starts telling you what to do? It's well known now that the Beverly Hills Madam was an informant.   Only when we'd be asked to do something that we just could not do, like sell a young girl with no family to a drug cartel, we wound up arrested, trot

I was involved in the sex industry from the late 1970's to the mid-1980's. During that time, I not only was a victim of sex trafficking myself, but I also was witnessing many different types of trafficking as well. As well as witnessing trafficking – I was also witnessing people trying to leave these various situations – only to find either nothing to help them or even outright barriers in their way. When I was arrested during a very high profile scandal in 1984 I was dubbed the “High Tech Madam” ( www.hightechmadam.com ) – I found I was unable to mount a defense for myself because I was viewed as
