Prostitution bust nets 22 in Denver metro area

Jun 17, 2013, 4:55 PM

Federal and local Denver metro area law enforcement agencies busted 22 alleged prostitutes last week, all of whom advertised on two separate Internet sites, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The two-day crackdown on Wednesday and Thursday reeled in escorts who advertised on preferred411.com and denverbackpage.com, according to an FBI news release. Investigators found that preferred411.com was "used nationwide to advertise for the purposes of prostitution and to verify 'clients,'" according to the release. Twelve of the arrested women advertised on that site. "Previous investigations nationally have shown links to this type of website may involve human trafficking violations," the release said. "We will continue to investigate crimes involving prostitution in the Denver Metro area and keep up with the evolving technology used by people in this industry," said Denver Police Lt. James Henning Agencies that participated in the arrests included Denver, Aurora and Lakewood police departments, FBI Denver Division, Colorado Trafficking and Organized Crime Coalition and the Innocence Lost Task Force.

Good reason not to use backpage

Denver: Safest city in the world. No murders. No rapes. No domestic violence. No theft.

Backpage is becoming more and more susceptible to stings it seems. They've been doing similar crackdowns here in NY/NYC area too, and it's quite scary. I'm not much of a BP fan myself. If you really want to engage in this stuff, TER with well-reviewed girls is probably still a good bet.

P411 Gina is very good requiring references to get listed etc. Even what I consider one of the most secure boards has been infiltrated by LE with millions of donations and grants going to the "rescue industry" and under the sham of "trafficking"

Pimps and under aged are common on BP but not P411

TER is directly linked to a criminal enterprise and police have evidence books full of TER reviews. With founder to be released soon from prison I would not be surprised TER will be the biggest FBI bust in history (like TBD was a few years ago)

We had a bust in West Palm a little over a week ago. It was a undercover cop as a hooker. They got 12 arrests including an assistant principal at a local high school. Which raises the question. Would we rather have our perverted school staff members getting hookers or looking for sex with our high school aged kids? My vote goes to hookers. Let em get that poison out so he can relax ay school. But I guess if you are willing to pay hookers on the street, then chances are you might not be able to say no to a hot 18 year old high school girl. Or even a younger girl. Who knows. Thats why I keep my fun to strippers itc and otc. Pretty easy to tell if they are cops.

I have a friend who is a teacher and he says that many HS girls are flaunting it at even guys his age and are willing to fuck for grades or just for fun. He avoids any compromising situation and is never alone with a student female or male. He wants his pension and as soon as he is able to retire he plans to leave and move. He said if I was not married to a woman who wears me out regularly I would be in trouble.
