Will Public Shaming, Education And Increased Penalties Curb Sex Trafficking?
Interesting that this article refers to the “directory” as “Public Shaming”. Shaming is a traditional form of punishment but the registry is NOT supposed to be punishment!

In the politically correct police state we live in, there is no longer such a thing as prostitution; it’s all human (read “sex”) trafficking. Amerikkka’s War on Sex continues unabated. It will only be a matter of time before the “John’s” Registry will be folded into the Sex Offender Registry.
By the way, Rep. Tubby Overdork lied through his c0ck$ucker when he bleated out “these parlors were found to have multiple women, even foreign nationals, smuggled into our country for one thing: sex slavery.”
Also wasn’t it nice of the legislature to let a lowly police corporal of Pussko Cunty, Wilk$h1tt, bleat “going after the buyers.” Of course, that’s what the police state always does, go for the low-hanging fruit. The War on Drugs has officially shifted to the War on Sex.
Easy answer – no, it won’t.
Look at all the incidents touted as sex trafficking, yet trafficking charges are never pursued. It’s all a mix of political grandstanding and media sensationalism.
I fully agree that sex trafficking is morally reprehensible. And yes, it may be a problem needing addressing, but it’s nowhere near as prevalent as its made out to be. And regardless of how big a problem it is, this isn’t the way to fight it. It’s along the same lines of how LE combats child pornography – recklessly creating criminality to pat themselves on the back for “solving” the problem they create while doing nothing to stop its production. The difference is that the “victims” of these “trafficking” stings are willing participants.
Reckless disregard for reality is a big red flag. The real problem is people with little to no integrity working in our system. That big problem needs to be addressed.
I keep wondering: Why are human traffickers not being targeted to stop the problem? Why are human traffickers being protected?
These sex sting operations, conviction, registries etc. are all protecting the human traffickers and allowing it to continue to go on. Are human traffickers paying off law enforcement and government officials to keep them protected? It always comes down to money.
Why else would there be such a reckless disregard for the reality of labeling individuals who are not child or dangerous predators (not a risk to anyone) as exactly that and shaming them publicly? It’s all a distraction and an illusion of protection, to protect the individuals who are sex trafficking human beings.
A prosecutor in Midland, TX lied and told jurors that they are not in the business of locking up people. Then she used a lot of manipulation and even dishonesty to get the conviction they wanted. If she truly believed that someone is a danger to others, why would she have to resort to so much manipulation and even dishonesty to get the conviction? Why would she work so hard to put someone behind bars and show disappointment when she didn’t achieve putting them behind bars like she wanted?
It is extremely difficult for someone to prove their innocence in this system and very easy for people working in the system, including defemse atyorneys, to get away with dishonesty and ill intentions. That’s reality. It’s a real problem. It needs to be addressed.
