Trafficking and Prostitution Services

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

As some of you know, we used Planned Parenthood when I was a teen for myself and my girlfriends to get some type of reproductive care when we were too young to see doctors on our own, couldn't get parental consent, and didn't have money or insurance.  We would do this when we were raped.  We would do this when we were victims of child abuse.  It was literally the only place we knew of to go back in the 1970's. Throughout the years - I've worked with many different types of trafficking victims.  The majority of trafficking victims DO NOT get abortions.  The reason is simple - the baby is not only the second generation of victim of these pimps to groom from birth that prostitution is "okay", but it's also an 18 year leash on their victims.  Read up on the case of Margo Compton and see how her traffickers blackmailed her with her children to control her.  I've got interviews up at www.blogtalkradio.com/stopsextrafficktalk where our members speak about h

Jody Williams, Founder and Director Sex Workers Anonymous (formerly Prostitutes Anonymous) www.sexworkersanonymous.com (702) 468-4529 Telephone September 24, 2015 Senator Barbara Boxer Via Fax Dear Ms. Boxer: I'm working on a few issues I'd like to speak to you about directly if I might. First, I understand you are on the Senate Ethics Commission that was discussing the issue of David Vitter's past relationships with “soliciting a prostitute”. However, I'd like to point out there was much more involved here with David Vitter than just his “soliciting a prostitute”. That completely over-simplifies what the man did, and it also makes it sound like this was a sexual matter. David's extensive past with prostitutes is not a sexual matter. These are not “affairs” we're discussing. Bill Clinton had a sexual fling with an intern and he got WAY more heat about that whereas what David Vitter did involved multiple acts of a CRIMINAL NAT

i keep hearing about a "war on women".  I then read this today - http://www.nola.com/politics/index.ssf/2015/09/david_vitter_prostitution_resp.html  I  do know this about David Vitter - there are three deaths connected to him that are "suspect" in my mind.  I also know that i had built up a successful effective following in Arizona for Sex Workers Anonymous UNTIL the day that Vitter moved  down into Arizona.  That's when our members there started being threatened.  That's when we started hearing about women who were being trafficked across the border and raped by the border patrol.   That's when I started hearing that sex trafficking victims were being placed in shelters that were actually letting traffickers pick them up and take them to work in strip clubs in Phoenix.  That's when I started getting threats from Arizona police - instead of the cooperation we used to get when one of our members opened up the Dignity Project in 1991.  So there was

i saw a youtube video online stating that "traffickers are forcing their victims to get abortions". I watched the video and what I heard was not case stories of sex trafficking - but case stories of street pimps . There is a difference. Below is the response I put in the comments section under this video: Speaking as the founder of the modern day sex trafficking movement, and someone who has been witnessing sex trafficking for over 30 years now all over this country (you can verify this with news clippings at www.hightechmadam.com ) - there is a HUGE difference between street pimps and "trafficking". Sex trafficking networks do not go into any organization for abortions, or even medical care, because they keep medical records. The trafficking networks have "in house" doctors who treat their prostitutes, other traffickers, and the "johns" so that things are not reported to the CDC, nor is there any evidence that can be made available to pro

I got a disturbing call today from a woman in Detroit, Michigan.  She's a single mom of two kids with one disabled.  She wound up homeless for some reason with these kids.  Her social worker hasn't been able to find her housing so they put her into a mens shelter (what are they thinking?).  They wouldn't give her a written lease, a key, nothing that showed she was a legal resident of this shelter.  You know why?  They want to be able to call her a "trespasser" any time they want and put her out.  However, under the tenancy laws of Michigan - if you're invited to enter a property then you are not a trespasser, but therefore a "squatter". Either way, they have to still give you a legal notice to evict you.  Even if it's a 24 hour one.  However, what disturbs me greatly is the fact I just read that Michigan passed a law in 2014 that squatters can "be forcibly physically removed" from the property?  Are you kidding me?  http://detroit.cur

When I was in high school in Whittier, California, there was a lot of sexual abuse, and even rape, going on in my school.  I hung with a group of very pretty girls.  Being the only kid in my school driving a car at 15 years old - I got asked to help out with things a lot.  Things the other kids didn't want to go to their parents about. I lost my virginity to a rape.  A rape where he penetrated, ejaculated, and didn't use protection.  It was literally over before I knew what happened.  I had known the guy for two years.  We went to the same school.  He was always hitting on my best friend, Donna, so it never crossed my mind he would do anything to me.  This guy would walk his dogs every day by our house.  We walked to school together.  I thought he was a friend. Then I made the mistake of saying I was a virgin - saving it for marriage.  It seemed this 17 year old boy had a "thing" for breaking in virgins.  He called me up crying saying he had just broken up with hi
