That’s great news and hopefully some sort of wake up call to many of the guys here who just “swear” this sort of stuff doesn’t happen and that all those spa girls just “love” working and living there.
　
　
If you are going to a spa or cantina, chances are the lady or girl you are seeing is being forced into this line of work. No the media is not putting a spin on it and sensationalizing it as many of you would like to believe. Its happening all over our city at this exact second.

The only thing sicker then the men who force ladies into this line of work are the clients who refuse to acknowledge that the girl they are seeing is working under duress or may be under age. You might as will be a rapist.

Three sent to prison in Houston sex trafficking case

A federal judge sentenced three men to eight years in prison after they pleaded guilty in a sex trafficking case where prosecutors said adults and juveniles as young as 16 worked as prostitutes at sexually-oriented businesses in Houston.

Andre McDaniels, 42, Ronnie Presley, 38, and Jamine Lake, 30, also must pay a $10,000 fine and serve 10 years under supervised release after finishing their prison terms, federal authorities said Monday.

Women abused

Federal prosecutors said the sexually-oriented businesses were disguised as legal modeling studios, health spas and massage parlors.

Whatever money the women made was taken from them. They were also physically and emotionally abused, officials aid.

The women were routinely beaten and threatened to make them fearful and obedient. Officials said the men routinely had sex with the minors.

Prosecutors said one of the women was branded with a large tattoo of a black panther to mark her as property. Also, someone shoved a gun in her mouth during the ordeal.

Two more involved

The three men were each charged with conspiracy to commit sex trafficking. They pleaded guilty in mid-September to early October, officials said.

Two other members of the ring, John Butler, 51, and William Hornbeak, 36, also pleaded guilty and will be sentenced on June 22, officials said.

Each of the five men also was convicted on additional charges including illegal transportation, coercion and enticement, officials said.

McDaniels also was convicted of nine counts of witness tampering in a separate but related case. He could face life in prison and will be sentenced on March 22, officials said.

As awful as this is, if you look at the tagline the orginal article is from 2009 - MARY FLOOD, Copyright 2009 Houston Chronicle | August 25, 2009 - and they were sentenced recently. The sentencing time frame is normal in a backed up court system such as Harris County. This is, however, a problem that still happens across the GLOBE, not just in Houston, and it is definitely still the target of a huge of mount of LE investigations so those of you that frequent the parlors, spas, and studios always watch your surroundings when visiting those establishments and know that some of the women are there under duress and indeed are minors.

Don't worry ... for the next ten years they're going to know what they made those poor girls go through. I hope they get buttfucked for breakfast everyday they are in prison.

I think it's extremely rare that these places have underage girls working in them. As much as le harasses the spas they find underage girls once every 10 years or so. What does that tell you?

I've been to spas a few times and I've never seen anyone that looks even close to being underage, and I've definitely never seen any ladies who appear to be "under duress".

I do remember reading about that place "vellagio" that was shut down a few years ago for having an underage girl working there. I don't know why someone would get involved in something like that given the potential consequences but luckily I've never encountered it first hand. I do believe it is very, very rare however.
