Victory For Sex Workers Taken To Court For Keeping Each Other Safe Juust as well they did finally drop this case, otherwise, since the Police had confiscated these ladies' earnings, it could be said that the CPS were 'Living off Immoral earning' and could in those circumstances also be prosecuted.
1. Thankyou, seriously thankyou for finally linking a story not on AOL 2. Being supportive of a few friends of yours are you?
Oh, we have damn slavery in the UK also. I will link the story as soon as it is published, as it happened in my damn town!
there were a few clues in the article as well I picked up on. The place they were staying was not in their names. Whose name was on the lease and/or who owned it, That person should should loose the house and be arrested.
I think that in the uk, if you financially profit from illegal activity those things can be confiscated, right?
How suspect does this sound "While the CPS did not comment on the action arranged by the ECP, the women were then offered a deal where, if they accepted cautions, the charges would be dropped – with the (rather significant) proviso that they forfeited the monies seized by police during the raid' That's extortion
Not really, if they were running a brothel, that is illegal. Which is what they thought was going on. Running a brothel is illegal. That would be I’ll gotten gains, they were saying we will go easy on you if you accept a deal. The money was seized during the raid. The money is seized and you get a light sentence. Does a guy selling crack get to keep his money? Does a successful car thief, or someone running a chop shop get to keep their stuff bought. ill gotten gains. did it say how much cash they seized? It very well may have been a brothel, but they got off with a good lawyering th3 way the story was spun. Lawyers are spin doctors, so are politicians and of course the media. but really they should be looking at the home owner, they were working out of.
I think of that woman who worked for the UN. The whistle blower, Kathryn Bolkovac who worked as a peacekeeper for the UN. She discovered that the UN was facilitating sex trafficking, she was fired but smuggled out documented proof.
also the money seized might have been for a pimp. They, the police, wanted names as well, I am sure. Often the women being trafficked won’t talk.
People being trafficked. Young boys are trafficked too. More common that you think. Young girls too. Which I see this as a factor in why the uk voted against taking in children without a parent. We can’t save the world, but we won’t potentially facilitate this either.
I was thinking about this a little more. Keeping this out of the news probably had a lot to do with brexit as well as the reason above. It could very well sway those who wanted to stay in the European Union to the other side. So they put a publication ban on this until it is over.
