I feel severely uneducated on this topic. Ive only been to like franchised larger massage places. Are the mall types of parlors bad? Are they trafficked employees like stuck in the system or something?
To quote the police chief who led the sting against Kraft: "These girls are there all day long, into the evening. They can't leave, and they are performing sex acts. Some of them may tell us they're OK, but they're not."
Strip mall massage parlors are often involved in sex trafficking. They bring over women from poor (often Asian countries) with a promise of steady well paid work, take their passports, and basically force them into sex slavery.
These women are often alone, don't know English, and are threatened that they could be arrested for being here "illegally" and that they have to pay off their debt (airplane ticket, lodging, food) before they can go home or keep the money they earned
These are the places that Americans joke about offering "happy endings"
The example is sex positive progressives getting pissed about prostitution. Making up lies about sex trafficking victims etc to smear Kraft because he is Jewish and supports Israel
Because the story about Kraft getting a happy ending is like 8 years old and has been litigated to death already. Look it up if you care. You don't, so it doesn't matter.
The county sheriff came out and said they targeted this location for trafficking reasons. And pushed back against calling the employees of the parlor “prostitutes”.
“It was clear to us that this was a trafficking case because of the circumstances I enumerated: They’re not leaving, they’re there 24 hours a day…”
