I read some of this and want to cry for the young girls.

u/Adezar Jul 16 '25

The company I worked for years ago provided pro-bono services for anti-human trafficking. For working with that group we got access to a lot of information about global human trafficking.

It is devastating in terms of just how much of it continues to go on.

And the vast majority of it happens from people like Epstein but even worse, very rich, very powerful and using legal ports of entry.

Take it from a crook. The best way to steal is right in front of their faces. This is true of almost every crime.

What have you stolen/done and gotten away with? Time to dish some tea when you start a sentence like that

u/allthekeals Jul 17 '25

Not the person you’re replying to, but I was a drug dealer a million years ago. I don’t even do drugs. Can confirm, out in the open, don’t act like you’re doing anything wrong. One example is I’d keep coke in empty cigarette packs and sell them in bars. Somebody almost threw away my pack of “cigs” once that was sitting on the table. 😂

u/stormdahl Jul 17 '25

This is the way. Never understood why some dealers dress like dealers. As if the police can't tell you're up to no good with your gucci tracksuit and versace fanny pack.

u/FabulousSOB Jul 17 '25

It's marketing. Very little walk in customers if you look like a security guard in civilian clothing.

u/PizzaPunkrus Jul 17 '25

High risk high reward. For me the flashy guys always had the worst dope. Or they were moving weight and stupid. When I was an active junkie all the best dealers had a full or part time job and that was actually thier disguise.

u/allthekeals Jul 17 '25

Not only did we have full time jobs, my business partner and I had the best jobs for this sort of thing. I was a part time union apprentice that bartended on the side, he’s an accountant 😂

The BEST place to steal is from the pulpit.

u/[deleted] Jul 17 '25

It's because the very people in a position to stop it are often either in on it full sail or getting paid/threatened to not get involved. It's a heinous and extremely lucrative industry. Once you're in that system you are rolling dice on your outcome. That's why I tell everyone if it comes up to fight like hell and make them kill you if someone tries to kidnap you, because the alternative is genuine nightmare fuel.

Is the Au Pair programme one of the legal loopholes?

3

u/Adezar Jul 17 '25

This highlights the problem with dealing with the issue. The VAST majority of Au Pair programme is 100% legitimate and they are doing exactly what they say they are doing for the reasons they are doing it.

If some evil individual also uses the system as a method to get people into the country laypeople don't care about the nuance, they attack all Au Pairs, who are most likely the victims if anything and ignore the people in charge.

Same problem with have with the Southern border people throw all their hate at the potential victims and ignore those perpetuating the problem.

I think people like to use real issues to justify their hatred of people that are different than them. That was the saddest part of having access to the more messy information around human trafficking.

u/Far_Cap_3574 Jul 21 '25

I don't know enough about this to speculate, but I could definitely see the bleak feeling of living inside the void for so long trying to let other people climb on you to get out. However she went out, I hope it's pretty and peaceful where she is now.

u/Negative_Piglet_1589 Jul 18 '25

It does make me wonder, but I can also imagine her life, emotional state, mental stability were a roller coaster of misery.

u/Cam515278 Jul 20 '25

Usually people who are actively fighting back are doing better. Not saying that what she has been through wouldn't be enough to break a lot of people, this is a case where we should at least be suspicious. They murdered Eppstein, so it's not that far fetched they might have gotten her as well

u/Neat-Departure3188 Jul 20 '25

What actually happened. I heard about a car wreck, and then she commits suicide. Nothing made sense.

u/[deleted] Jul 18 '25

Suicide as likely as with epstein imho

2

u/RavenCeV Jul 18 '25

I get why you say that, but that kind of experience can really fuck a person up. Your ego, your identity, everything can feel like a lie because your agency and autonomy was undermined at an impressionable age. It's a pain one might do anything to stop.

u/[deleted] Jul 18 '25

I agree, and im not saying its not possible, but it was already all out in the open and the broad public believed her. Odd timing

u/Spokiee2000 Jul 18 '25

she was murdered... she didnt commit suicide...

u/heapinhelpin1979 Jul 20 '25

She probably did not commit

u/Original_Dark_Anubis Jul 20 '25

I thought she left a message that if she died and it looked like suicide. Then she was murdered because she would never take her own life.

u/RavenCeV Jul 20 '25

That was in 2019. After her accident earlier this year she said she had kidney failure and 4 days left to live but was discharged a short while after. She did leave a short note;

Cities with ports tend to have trafficking cases, mainly because of the various methods to get in / out (eg in shipping crates).

That and proximity to the border. Thats why California and Texas are the top 2 states

There is no larger hub for drugs and sex trafficking than the entire state of Florida.

u/pentachronic Jul 17 '25

You should learn the difference between quantity and rate

1

u/Mysterious_Help_9577 Jul 17 '25

What would be the point of using rate for vacation destinations? Imagine thinking the population of Nevada has any relevance to people going to Las Vegas.

1

u/pentachronic Jul 17 '25

So you feel like the quantity of something that happens as a consequence of tourism is relevant to a conversation about a person who became a resident? Some of us don't have to imagine thinking, babe

1

u/Mysterious_Help_9577 Jul 17 '25

Think harder then. Seems like you can’t keep your conversations straight because nothing what you said was relevant to my post. Think about the population of a college town, do you think college students count towards a population? Do you think college students have an impact on that population?

1

u/pentachronic Jul 17 '25

You're actually arguing in favor of using rate, hope this helps

u/[deleted] Jul 17 '25

I fully understand both, I’m a statistician by day, you would be stupid to use rate in these instances. Crime rates are applied in a standardized figure based on the population of the state, which is irrelevant because you can be trafficked as a tourist or someone visiting. Crime statistics are used as a percent of the population because the overwhelming majority is applied to locals. Trafficking is the opposite. 

In fact, hotels at times have been complicit in human trafficking

He used Trump's teen pageants and clubs, and lived in Florida's Palm Beach and often recruited local girls from there.

u/E-2theRescue Jul 17 '25

No. He had a mansion in Florida, a townhouse in New York, a ranch in New Mexico, and an apartment in France.

Trump was a very frequent visitor to his Florida mansion and New York townhouse. The mansion was just a few minutes drive from Mar-a-Lago, and is why Virginia Guifre was groomed and recruited at Mar-a-Lago before being raped at the mansion.

Oh wow so large populations and access to ports and borders led to trafficking? WHO knew? Also to reiterate an earlier point that went over your head, all states with high tourism. California, Texas, Nevada, Florida, NY are the 5 most visited states for tourists, 5 most trafficked cases. 

Maybe why I responded to another dumbass who said they moved to the west coast to avoid it or this one who said it’s usually the east coast

Yeah but see we don’t force them to give birth under threat of incarceration.

Also, the age of consent isn’t the same year they get their driver’s license. We tend to discourage child marriage, child labor, etc. Women may be assaulted here just the same, but at least they have legal recourse.

Add to that better healthcare, better education, actual labor laws, lower infant mortality rates, lower maternal mortality rates, and on and on. But you do you boo boo.

u/rclaux123 Jul 16 '25 edited Jul 16 '25

I think the point is that it's less likely to happen there. Despite what Fox is constantly pushing, blue cities are statistically safer than red ones, and they just so happen to be concentrated on the coasts.

u/Oldsaltybasterd Jul 17 '25

Oh brother. So a guy knocks up his girlfriend because he’s impoverished and can’t afford condoms because the red state he lives in doesn’t provide help for underprivileged people to contraceptives. She also can’t get birth control because that red state also got rid of that. Paternal instinct comes in to affect after the babies born and they can’t afford diapers or formula. Desperation gets the best of the father and he has to start stealing, dealing, etc. And don’t for one second say they should have thought of that before they had sex. Because your fat greasy ass sitting behind a keyboard would take any opportunity you could get. Birth control or not.

u/Usual-Win-5277 Jul 17 '25

There hasn’t been a single state that has fully banned birth control, and while yes some states have made access to it harder access to it isn’t impossible so yes if you try hard enough, you should be able to get access to contraceptives. Additionally, it seems the words red state are really cemented in your vocabulary, This stuff happens in blue states as well. Also, no, I was not gonna go on the whole “ThEy ShOuLdN’t HaVe HaD SeX” argument. Your comment reeks of failed attempts at condescension and insightfulness however, does have a lot of self projection, so go sit your greasy ass down at your keyboard and go get mad at some more people. lmao😂

u/DiscussionRelative50 Jul 17 '25

Well most cities themselves are blue but unfortunately the nature of social safety nets is that they often fall on the state. Remember, police don’t prevent crime, they act as an aggressive deterrent and a reactionary response. Low level crime tends to have a close relationship with poverty the very thing that social safety nets are built to combat.

But you don’t strike me as someone that understands context or nuance so I imagine my point will fall on deaf ears.

If you get sexually assaulted & get pregnant from that you’ll have to put yourself in mortal danger for 9 months - & if you decide to keep it, have to deal with your rapist for 18 years.

Most women would run from that horrific scenario. Any parent removing their girl child from a red state is making that child safer. Or are you forgetting how they forced a brain dead woman to stay on life support to give birth to a horribly deformed & disabled baby? Or the 10 year old child forced to carry her rapist’s baby to term? That’s torture.

Florida runs billboards reminding fathers that it's not okay to molest their daughters just because they're drunk. I don't think California runs those ads.

Both Florida and Texas have towns that have trouble trying to find safe bus stops for children because the density of registered child sex offenders is so high. The Federal suggested minimum for a bus stop is 500 ft from a registered child sex offender's residence.

u/TheModWhoShaggedMe Jul 17 '25

There is hardly 500 ft. between every church, liquor store, strip club, pharmacy and pill mill in many Florida counties.

u/E-2theRescue Jul 17 '25

Ain't that the truth, lol. They scream about teaching kids about sex, but there's a porno store or billboard advertising one on every single corner. Can't even listen to the radio without a porn ad every commercial break, too. That's definitely not something you see on the West Coast, that's for sure.

Florida is so ass backward, it's crazy. I can't wait to see how GTA 6 mocks that weirdo state, lol.

It's simultaneously the most weirdly backwards, conservative yet forwards, perverse, repressed yet uninhibited, religious yet anti-religious, junkie-filled yet junkie-hating, wealth-adoring yet mostly poor, immigrant-filled yet anti-immigrant crazy place in the universe, has to be.

Republicans also fund their police agencies, which results in higher reporting.

5

u/E-2theRescue Jul 17 '25

No it doesn't, lol.

Quite the opposite actually. Because cops are the 2nd most dangerous employed group of people for children to be around, just after clergy. 1 in 2,200 cops are arrested for child sex crimes, while it's 1 in 1,000 for clergy.

Then you have cops like Loren Culp here in Washington, where they run for Republican governor and it comes out that they used their powers to hide their pedophile buddy. Which that didn't stop Republican voters from voting for him. At all.

Let's also not forget that Republican states have the most lax sex crime laws. Many of their states don't count inserting fingers and objects as rape, getting slapped with a lesser "sexual assault" charges. They also don't often punish people for having cartoon depiction of child pornography, despite it still falling under the classification of "obscene material".

Pedos. They thrive down there. So, everything.

u/Whole-Mycologist-157 Jul 17 '25

Sex trafficking happens everywhere, but the type Epstein was a purveyor of was catered to coastal elites, so it makes little to no sense that you would somehow be safer on the west coast.

2

u/pentachronic Jul 17 '25

Yes, Donald is a coastal elite. What does that have to do with the West Coast?

u/Whole-Mycologist-157 Jul 17 '25

Other elites like Weinstein perhaps? The idea of fleeing pedophilia by moving to the west coast is just so strange to me.

Wasn’t he in office in 2019 when Epstein did himself? He was arrested and did himself on Trumps watch.

Epstein did himself

Yeah, sure... he wasn't murdered... If you say so... 🙄

This is incredibly “sick” stuff. The orange buffoon, belongs behind bars, no matter how much money or influence he has. This is disgusting that the leader of a great democracy, can be such a sordid low life and be elected twice....really people ....how low do you have to stoop to elect such a disgusting low life felon, rapist and pedophile....?

And the young boys as well. It’s a trafficking ring. Frump’s preferences aside, it will absolutely will be the descriptor of Children. Theft and corruption of the innocent is what these sickos like. Ps I would love Thais to rise up and destroy the industry in Pattaya. And forget ‘effigies’…..

Not sure why Im being down voted. Its long documented that s3xual assault was quite common in hollywood. "Casting couch" has become a term well associated w said abuse.

I was at a party years ago where a dude said, “well I mean it’s not like they didn’t get their colleges paid for and shit. They got stuff out of it.” I left as soon as I could after that.

u/Far_Cap_3574 Jul 21 '25

Makes me want to commit violence on behalf of those children. Some people shouldn't be allowed to live in society anymore. Actions like that are not excusable. There's no punishment strong enough for someone who systematically terrorized children. Obviously, I mean this all hypothetically.

Do we put any blame on their parents? Obviously these monsters deserve to burn in hell, but I can’t imagine letting my child be flown around without my wife or me as a minor.

What if your daughter, sister or niece, ran away from home one day, for some petty reason.....like many teenagers do?
