Neighbor exposing brothel

[Anonymous]

I know someone (church) who admits this was their ‘career’ when he was younger. He feels deeply ashamed. He tells bc he wants people to know the depths / his lows.
He would not think this is funny or light.
Even if someone working in it feels positively (rare), it’s killing a part of their humanity or soul.

He sounds like he knows an *awful* lot about it. Wonder if he was a client.

Wait - the man you know from your church: was he previously a gay-male prostitute / sex worker for money, when he was younger?

Or, was he working as a pimp/ trafficker of female prostitutes in his past?

Police in Alexandria busted one in a supposed Air BnB, 431 N West Street close to Braddock metro. They only discovered it when a man was found dead in his car and while police were trying to figure out what happened to him, unlocked his phone and found WhatsApp messages with the madame.

Everyone in OT and Rosemont have been talking about it.

Here is an article, read to the end because the descriptions are kind of hilarious.

I thought it was going to be a storefront in that strip too, but I guess it is the white house adjacent to it on Summerfield. Google street view hasn't updated since 2009. I'm more surprised that it is zoned commercial.

There is one in downtown McLean. Used to be called "iHeart Massage" and now has a new name

A professor at GMU gave a talk about this a while ago. He said that during the Korean War, a lot of American GIs married Korean girls, and after the war they moved to the DMV, primarily Fairfax County and Arlington. As soon as the "girls" got their citizenship, they divorced the American GIs, and opened business running Korean style massage parlors. As they aged out, they were replaced by Chinese entrepreneurs, which is the situation we have now.

Sex work should be decriminalized

My Catholic women's group had a guest speaker talk about this. She was a nun working with the national hotline for sex trafficking. (It's not run by the Church; she just works with it.) Suggestion one was NOT to call the police if you suspect sex trafficking. Nationwide there are many brothels that pay local law enforcement agencies for protection; there are others that are routinely used by local police. Most important reason: if you are unlucky enough to live in a jurisdiction where that's the case, you are putting yourself in the bull's eye for harassment by the police. So, her suggestion was to call the national hotline. https://humantraffickinghotline.org/en/report-trafficking Even then, her advice was to stay anonymous.

It has investigators. A report it has already vetted is more likely to be taken seriously by police. Even when police are corrupt departments are reluctant to fail to follow up when it's an organization like this rather than one neighbor calling it in.

Most of the women are trafficked. Many were prostitutes working for criminal gangs in their home countries, especially in Asian countries. As in the US, women "age out" of sex work. So, when a woman hits 35 or 40 men are less likely to be willing to have sex with her. An Asian man looks at a woman who is 37 and says "no thanks, I want someone younger." However, many white American men are very bad at telling the age of Asian women. So, some of the gangs ship their older prostitutes to the US where they can continue to "service" white men.

This poster knows the score. Impressed.
Very good post.

A similar place where I live (suburban Chicago) was busted and every single one of the workers was past menopause age so PP must be onto something.

Pssst - nothing is happening because the FCPD is on the take.

If I lived near there, I would be seriously concerned about violence and my property values.

I took a look on google maps, the area looks pretty run down. I don’t think a brothel is making it look too much worse.

Rose Spa closed. Owners arrested. It was dumb to have it in a residential neighborhood in the first place.
