FAC in the News: On Ohio “John Registry”
Not everyone supports johns registries, and a variety of groups say prostitution and human trafficking are very different crimes and should not be confused. They say prostitution is consensual and voluntary, and human trafficking is not.
Most people arrested in prostitution operations are lonely men who went to a massage parlor or hired an escort from an online site, says the Florida Action Committee, a nonprofit that “advocates for sex offense laws based on empirical evidence and best practices instead of fear and myth.”
The prostitutes in these exchanges were very willing participants, and a johns registry will make it hard for the people on the list to maintain jobs, which will only compound the shame and difficulty their families are already experiencing, the group said.
Florida’s database for johns, the first of its kind in the nation, will become a bloated, ineffective mess, much like the sex offender registry, the action committee said.

With the new list of potential customers from the John registry the porn business can grow! These men, now alienated from co-workers and family and church will turn to their old friend, porn! The registry can be a great tool for porn sites to reach out to these men. With the increased demand for porn, these men, who no longer can support their family, can send their daughters out to become webcam models or porn stars.
The difference between the Johns registry and the SOR is ,When people hear the Johns registry ,there first thought would be whose John, and dismiss it. When they hear the SOR they immediately think of the worst sexual crime they can think of of forceable rape And pedophiles that will never change. We must first change the designation to change the public image.
I have done bodyrubs for 5 1/2 years and a lot of guys asked me via text if it was full service. Now it’s crickets. Nobody knows about this. And it was okay for at least since 2015 when I moved here. So the real question is, is that’s how it’s gonna be why isn’t it on the news instead of ruining many guys lives. Pulling the wool over someone’s eyes isn’t the right answer. I am not a hooker and I have never done full service but I think this should be made aware to the public.
Chrissy I think you better off going to another state like here Az or CO. That state is crazy. I have not had any problems in this state at all. I been here 9 yrs.
