I woke up this morning and did the usual check my channel 13 news. I had small pictures of 64 men that were caught in a sting with prostitution ring. Please tell me if chemo is skewing my thoughts but we have active operating rings with young girls to young. Why are they creating a fake operation luring in 64 men. ???? Am I off the mark this morning? The crime we have and the men imposters on line luring in young girls is a better way. Can some tell me why I feel this particular sting setting up s operating sting is kind of crazy when there are real ones they know about. On well that is all. 4951

I haven't read the story, but my mind immediately went to "that's about the same number of cats they rounded up at King's Crossing."I know there is a human trafficking problem in Houston. We are actually a major hub because of our location where certain Interstates intersect. I have listened to some ladies in my church who work to rescue the women and children in those situations, talk passionately about helping those who are enslaved.But setting up a sting and arresting the Johns is only treating a symptom, and is really punishing the wrong people. I think that prostitution itself should not be a crime. I think circumstances vary. Human enslavement should always be considered a crime. But if a man and a woman want to have consensual sex with an exchange of cash or dinner and a movie, it is their business.Edited to say "two adults" rather than "man and woman." 4951

Looks like entrapment to me.
 
They set up a fake "modeling studio" and used vice officers to proposition them for sex. And when they agreed, the johns were arrested.
 
Wouldn't it have made more sense to find and arrest those operating the real ***** houses all over houston? This is like arresting drug users by attempting to sell them fake drugs. 4951

How would you feel if your spouse, partner were on that list?
 
@Stealth83: I would be embarrassed for the public humiliation. I would not want them arrested. They might deserve divorce, or some sort of wifely torture, but not a criminal record.

If the crime exists, there's no reason to create it in a sting. 4951

Guess they got bored with speeding tickets and decided to field out a change of pace in the revenue generating department. 4951

@Mahm: right! You made me feel better. I think the drug rings and all the other crime they could be better served trying to locate those girls that need help not pick up 64 men on a sting. Its frustrating to me but wanted to make sure I'm all here with chemo lol

@fcabanski: Exactly that's how I feel. I worked 60 to seventy hours a week sometimes. Now on disability I have the time to think out these things. I don't like so much of what I hear

@Stealth83:  Maybe the newbie poster who has been fishing here for info on singles bar and dating websites should check that list for her spouse or S.O.'s picture, since she is apparently trying to catch him in the act.   Her might have been a prime candidate for that round-up 4951
