re: 8 Arrested in Terrebonne Parish Massage Parlor Sting Operation

If Human Trafficking is really happening I get this. If not, the Sheriff has better things to do.

Do you think these women dream of coming to the US, leaving their families, not speaking the language, to give handies to scuz men in the middle of the night in some Houma cesspit? Uh no. Almost all of them are trafficked.

Sheriff Tim Soignet would like to commend the community for their involvement in bringing this investigation to light

oh I’m sure the community was more then welcome to aid in evidence gathering

Surprised no one seems to know but many of these Asian women did the exact same shite in their home country.


Then they come to the US and make 5x as much as they did before. Think they are complaining? If anything they actively use social media to try and get more clients.

Google vietnamese sex parlors. Then do the same for thai and Philippines.

Given what I know about their cultures it's kind of a tough sell to me that they are legitimately being trafficked as much as the police seem to claim they are.

Especially when these women hop into their toyota corollas and drive home at the end of the day.

Its exploitative sure but no more than Vegas.

so fricking stupid that an effort to arrest people having sex is actually put forth.

Rub n Tugs aren't even sex, right? It's handies only?

Why is getting your cock massaged illegal?

What’s the difference in me paying a Doctor to stick his finger up my arse and a massage therapist massaging my cock?

What a waste of time and resources.

So you believe that a 50 year old asian woman is just going to come to the US with the idea to be a waitress and end up jacking off fat nasty old white men? They arent going to go to the police? You are gullable as frick. The real question is who is signing off on these visas. People can barely get their spouse into the US on a visa but for some reason chinese masseuse can come in by the tens of thousands knowing that it is basically a front for prostitution and has been going on for decades. These shops are all over and usually have no license or anything but yet are allowed to exist. If they get shutdown they open right back up in the same spot with a different name.

Re-read what I wrote. Women are getting hooked up into organized criminal organizations that traffic them. Some of those criminal traffickers are women. I do not know the story of this particular 50 year old woman, i.e. she may be part of the trafficking or she may be a victim. Believe it or not 50 year old women get trafficked too.

You ask why do these places continue to exist. For a few reasons, language barriers, legitimate fear of very violent reprisal if one complains to the police, poor awareness/poor training of law enforcement to recognize sex and labor trafficking, and then of course people like you that think deep down the women really wanted it.

Banks are getting better in their AML training geared to customer facing staff to recognize the signs of trafficking, i.e. when someone comes in looking like they are being controlled by another. Their transaction monitoring looks for patterns of financial activity consistent with trafficking. I wouldn't say the banks are good at it, but usually they get much better training than your average local parish cop shop receives.

diat150, those women don't really want you. They are really not hot for you. Be careful, sex offenders don't do well in prison.

They are in damn near every shopping center in Houston.

Foot Massage parlors too. Who would pay money to have their feet massages? I have trouble believing every one of these is a rub and tug but something is keeping them in business. I bet their are more Asian Massages in the city than pharmacies. Unreal.

Oh, and no, I’ve never been to one. Not that I’m morally against it or above it in any way. I’m just scared to be caught in a sting. My luck is that I’d be on the front page of the Houston Chronicle. I don’t know how I’d explain that to my work.

That's your problem...you need to spend more money and go to a higher end place on Canal St., then the police and the politicians would protect you from ever being identified.
