PORTRAIT OF MODERN AMERICAN TRAFFICKING

In 2005, I was approached by a man who came to my regular "home group" of Narcotics Anonymous in Las Vegas.  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. 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! My mother went into surgery a few days later and didn't wake up for ten days.  My husband had

IF I'M SO CRAZY - WHY DOES THE PRESS KEEP COMING OUT WITH MORE AND MORE STORIES ABOUT WHAT i'M SAYING BEING TRUE?

http://traffickingandprostitutionservices.blogspot.com/2016/04/whoop-there-is-is-proof-of-what-ive.html 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.  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. 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. Last year I asked a private investigator who works on trafficking cases if he's b

SEX TRAFFICKING RESOURCES IN NEVADA

I went onto Google and typed in "sex trafficking" and "Las Vegas".  The first link I got was http://ag.nv.gov/Human_Trafficking/HT_Help/   Okay - let's go down the list here: National Trafficking Hotline - first you have to be the victim.  You can't be a mother or a friend.  Once you make the call - you are given phone numbers of Nevada programs.  They provide no residential services, no transportation, send no money.  They will ask you if you want to call and make a report to the Police.  So if you want to prosecute your pimp or trafficker - good call.  You're standing out at a payphone at 2:00 a.m. because you just ran off from your pimp - not helping. Immigration and Victim Assistance - are you an American?  Can't help you.  Are you not an American?  They will tell you to "call the police to file a report". Shared Hope - according to their site and operator provide 'no direct services to victims in Nevada". Hopelink - gi

INTERNAL AFFAIRS IN NEVADA

CALIFORNIA As you know who follow my blog, I'm having problems with police all of the time who are involved in some fashion to sex trafficking. Since I do most of my "face to face" work in California and Nevada - most of the calls I get on the Sex Workers Anonymous hotline is in those two states. Since 2013,  I've been trying to get someone to talk to me about what's going on in Pasadena, California's police station for a while now because of the "Music" case.  This is a woman who called for help who lives in Pasadena - and claims two Pasadena officers drug her out of her home when she told her traffickers she wanted to leave and they slapped her with two phony prostitution charges.   I then got my own threats from a man saying he was a Pasadena officer when I was helping her - and then I've had some weird issues with their chief.  For example, he tells me he "didn't return my calls because he's already working with a trafficking
