Trafficking and Prostitution Services

Dear Editor: I'm writing in response to the article  Conor Swanberg did for your publication on pimps and their tattooing of their victims.   http://www.ijreview.com/2015/09/413813-sex-trafficking-survivors-show-brands-pimps-forced-wear/?utm_source=Facebook&utm_medium=Social&utm_content=video-social-mobile-bar&utm_campaign=Sharing Things are not always what they appear to be to an untrained eye. For example, many detectives used to think a crime scene with candles, pentagrams, and even sacrificed animals were signs of satanic rituals. However, a trained detective knows this is usually instead signs of a drug party by youngster imitating what they "think" is satanic. When it comes to sex trafficking - I should know. I'm the founder of the modern day sex trafficking movement itself. I'm the one who stood up in 1987 on national TV shows, news stations, with reporters, etc., stating that sex trafficking was not an urban myth, that it was re

What a breath of fresh air.  I've gotten so disgusted with the fake TV shows and films being produced about sex trafficking that I don't even watch them anymore.  From Eden, to Taken, to 8 Minutes, and even Gigolo's or Cathouse - I don't know when I've seen something on TV or film that even REMOTELY resembles the types of sex trafficking I've witnessed in the now 40 years total I've been witnessing many forms of this crime. So trust me - I don't go "oh look another film" and turn it on anymore.  I accidentally came upon the film "Stolen From the Suburbs" and it gripped my attention because IT DID.   Granted, it was more of a description of what I call "trafficking" that just "sex trafficking" but it was still an honest portrayal of a subcategory of sex trafficking. There are criminal rings that traffick in human flesh.  These types of people will traffick the men for labor or porn (depending upon their age and

Dear Matt Smith: The below is to the police involved in the article you wrote here at  http://www. cleburnetimesreview.com/news/ caught-in-undercover- prostitution-round-up/article_ 732181fe-53e2-11e5-adcb- 5f6300a1cd1d.html   Please forward my letter to your editor and ask if they'll publish, or maybe publish as an opt-ed. i can tweak it if your paper would like.  Thank you.   Jody www.sexworkersanonymous.com (702) 468-4529 _______________________ WHO DO YOU THINK YOU'RE FOOLING?  IF, and I emphasize, IF you really wanted to be "rescuing" these women then how come our office hasn't received a phone call yet?  We've been organizing outreach campaigns since 1987.  More than that, I myself, the founder of Sex Workers Anonymous, am the very reason why you even acknowledge these women may need "rescue" as I'm also the founder of the modern day sex trafficking movement. Back in 1986, there was actually a Bill being proposed to qu

Sex Workers Anonymous (formerly Pr ostitutes Anonymous) www.sexworkersanonymous.com (702) 468-4529 Telephone September 5, 2015 Re: Life and Death Communication Issues Catholic Bishops & Associates Via Email Salvation Army Human Trafficking Division Via Email Hello: For those of you who do not know me, my name is Jody Williams. 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

I'm becoming increasingly concerned about the anonymity of our members as I always am here answering our hotline, emails, and social media so that our members can remain "anonymous".  I'm getting more and more calls that I'm having to field with someone claiming they "want to come to a meeting" and representing they're a person "seeking help" only coming to find out they have alternative motives.  Either that - or I'm getting a lot of "catfish" issues from people claiming to be members of our program and talking to me like they are.  Only when I ask them questions - it's clear they are not. The site that was created by Domina Elle at www.sexworkersanonymous.org is one prime example. This woman was online claiming that she "called our hotline and that I was mean to her and cut her off when she was in a life and death situation".  Okay well if that's the case then I asked her the name of the person she spoke
