Trafficking and Prostitution Services

Dear Ms. O'Malley: Lois Lee, founder and director of Children of the Night, and I have known each other since she founded her program in 1979.  In fact, it was because she cut off help at 18 years of age - I had to resort to taking my own steps to help adult trafficking victims in Los Angeles during a time when not only did the world not believe we even existed - but that we were experiencing a record epidemic of serial killers targeting prostitutes of all ages, HIV/AIDS was raging, and the country was being flooded with crack cocaine.  During Iran Contra, and with the south central gangs having suddenly money in truck loads - there was also a related upswing in sex trafficking.   This was why I set up the warehouse spoken of in my arrest in 1984 here at  www.hightechmadam.com   Now granted the whole thing blew up when an angry pimp called the police and claimed it was a brothel.  To try and explain it was not a brothel was difficult because again you have to realize the

But I was not invited because I'm assuming people in this field who are aware of who I am also in respect to this field probably think I am still living in Nevada where I've been since 1996. However, because of calls I've been receiving from the members of Sex Workers Anonymous, the 12 step program I founded in 1987 about what they've been seeing happening in California, at their request and urging, I've relocated back home to Los Angeles where our program, and the modern day sex trafficking movement itself, was launched. Basically the members have been wanting me back here to speak and appear for them o

I got this in the mail today When a group focused on the "trafficking" aspect of the sex industry - to the exclusion of the reality of what prostitution itself is I've been wondering why for a while now.  I mean why do groups like the Cupcake Girls focus everything they talk about on the trafficking side of this issue without one word about the very real prostitution side of the issue. Well that would be then admitting that some of the time one spends in sex work is "voluntary".  That it is in fact "prostitution".  Now outsiders to sex work insist prostitution is sex for money.  No - it's not.  In fact, I argue that's more like marriage in some cases.  Don't tell me some men and women don't marry for money and trade sex for the money please. I've also wondered why they object so strongly to the concept of "sex work" vs. "prostitution".  The reality is prostitution is a tiny fraction of the sex industry a

In 1988, Joe Conforte, the man who owned the Mustang Ranch legal brothel in Nevada, decided he wanted to expand the brothels into California, and further into the larger cities of Nevada.  At that time they were still only located in the small rural towns they're in now and this was long before Dennis Hof had even bought his first brothel.  At that time, I think there was maybe three brothels in the whole state, or the whole  USA for that matter, if I remember correctly. Now HIV/AIDS was raging at the time.  Certainly not a good time to be talking about expanding brothels right?  Depends on how you market it.  I heard Joe had plunked down $1,000,000 to a PR firm in California and that he was having a Bill or Act (I'm not a political science major I can't remember what it was exactly - but it was a law he was having passed). Now to get people to vote for this, that's why he put this money up with the PR firm.  I get the call to come onto TV against him.  The FCC had
