How to detect human trafficking?

[Jolly_Penguin]

I just read a long article on the new and terribly misguided anti-prostitution laws in Canada, and what keeps coming up is the concern over human trafficking. It seems to assume that every prostitute is a sex slave, which of course is false. But how can johns know if they are contributing/participating in human trafficking? This isn't my area of the hobby (I only saw strippers) but may of you here do engage in this. Some of you here are women involved in this from the opposite perspective.

Are there telltale redflags you look out for?

1. How Public they are? If it is a well known agency with a lot of adds and in the public eye, I'd think the police would have them on their radar, or at least I'd think they would think the police would; so they'd be less likely to be a human trafficking ring. So avoid independent escorts who advertise only on craigslist, backpage, etc?

2. If they share a phone number with other girls? If a lot of adds for different girls point to the same phone number, is that probably their pimp?

3. If they are text only to contact? If they demand text only, I'm thinking that is because the person texting back to you is not the girl herself. Either they hired a booker or they are being pimped out. Safest to avoid?

4. If they advertise as available 24/7. That pretty much has to be a sex slave, right? Who is really available 24/7 by their own will?

What else can you think of. How about the opposite? Are there signs that she can't be trafficked?

#2 and 4 are generally good indicators. #3 not necessarily so; a lot of legit independent's prefer booking by text only.

Text only is frequently a method of communicating when there is an absence of English language. Providers have translators built into their apps. It assists in communicating in englush

I know quite a few Asian ladies who work for a manager because they haven't great English. The manager rents the apartment, places the fake ads and schedules appointments The ladies themselves however Are not slaves. Some are married, others are just over here for a year making some cash, and are free to come and go as they please

1. . . . . So avoid independent escorts who advertise only on craigslist, backpage, etc?

It isn't the independent part of it - and my observation (non-scientific) is that most Independent Escorts in Canada and the U.K. have their own webpages. It is rather that Craigslist & Backpage have to be treated with caution, and not primarily due to trafficking, but equally for your own safety.

Just so you know JP there are a lot of girls in Strip Clubs pimped as well. Just watch Outside after the club closes and see the "boyfriends" picking them up. He'll just look at the end of the bar in some places and there they are.

One has a website and sells movies too, text only # and is available 10 am to 5 am.

Not always the case with the boyfriends (Sometimes they are genuine; I was one at one point) but I see your point.

If the press reports are to be believe, of how the police arrested human traffic offenders, then the common theme is the hotel room.

The victim, the woman held in sexual slavery, is always moved from hotel room to hotel room.

Of those of you who engage in this side of the hobby, does this concern you? Have any of you even reported something suspicious anonymously to the police?

It is for this very reason that I generally only see escorts over 35. Generally it is the young girls that are in this situation, IMO. But I could be wrong. I nfact I would like to know if older women in their 35s and higher are in this situation.

One thing I will say is I have NEVER had any slight indication from a women over 35 that they are anything other than independent.

I also don't see Asians for that same reason;.

I think it is a combination of clues put together.

For example, 24/7 on it's own may not be an indicator.

But for me I avoid...... 24/7, too good to be true photos, multiple ads showing different girls that go back to one phone number, boasts of low prices and multiple shots

I also fully admit though that it is tough to spot because what I described above is commonly associated with Asian bait and switch agencies but women of all colours get trafficked.

I'd be leery of a girl who appears to be independent but always working. I sometimes see ads for girls where they work almost every day. Whereas the girls on bp that I tend to choose are girls that work one or two days a week.
