Trafficking busts

"with girls changing out every month or so and working in other cities on a rotation basis."

this is par for the course normal and not trafficking

Lots of escorts, particularly the ones with higher rates, travel frequently to work. Offering strange is part of why they can get a higher rate.
With AMPs, the fact that some only employ Asian immigrants with little English is what seems consistent with human trafficking.

Where did the bust take place?

little English isn't trafficking either. There are probably 2 million Floridians with little English. Most of those are not trafficked.

If you deny symptoms of trafficking, I can only assume that you're being willfully ignorant.

The guy at my local bodega doesn't speak English? I doubt he is trafficked. The chicas at the local taco shop no habla espanol. I doubt they are trafficked.

Strippers also move between cities, to experience different cities. "Travel Dancers" are a thing. They like the flexibility and variety that it offers. I imagine many of us, given no family restraints, would prefer to do the same for our jobs. Generally not trafficked.

Cruise ship workers are given accommodations while working, yet not only are they not trafficked, they choose to do that job because of the ability to see and experience new things.

Would you turn down an opportunity for company-provided housing at either free or reduced-rate amounts? Also consider that for some (not all), accommodations provided by AMPs may be better than what they have in their hometowns.

Trafficking is the hot word of the times. And, LE organizations likely receive funding for going after trafficking operations. By referring to trafficking (even if only alleged), LE can get special funding to fund their forces.

Girls are coached to claim trafficking in order to avoid prosecution, just as illegals immigrants are coached to claim violence if they return to their hometowns.

Sure, trafficking does exist to some extent, but even then, to various degrees.

Some are likely physical forced and controlled. But, many who fall under the trafficking umbrella were simply tricked into the job, and then need to rely on the job to pay off loans associated with transfer to another country. In those cases, the goal of the supposed traffickers is to recover the funds owed for their service of transfer to a city. I concede that forced servitude to pay off debt is bad, though.

And then there is the matter of threats to safety of family members if they flee, which falls into the "pieces of sxxxx".

Yup, willfully ignorant about sums it up.

@georgemicrodong, how many of the 2 million Floridians who don’t speak English do you think are trafficked?

@sfrsox: Your reading comprehension sucks as bad as that racist rickthetick.

Please be so kind as to point out where I said anything about people who don't speak English.

Do you care that there are girls at strip clubs who are pimped-out? Pimped-our girls are potentially more harmed than trafficked girls.

To be clear...I don't condone trafficking. But, I also do not make it my business to assess whether someone is trafficked.

@funontheside: "Do you care that there are girls at strip clubs who are pimped-out? Pimped-our girls are potentially more harmed than trafficked girls."

You've been here long enough that you might have seen me opine on this subject before, but in case you haven't, yes, I do care just exactly as much. Did you think that was some kind of "gotcha"? And just in case, you want to bring up restaurant workers, maintenance workers, or any other occupation that attracts traffickers, I care about those too.

Slavery is slavery.

More generally, if sex workers don't speak any of the languages that are common where they work, they're more at risk of being trafficked.
