New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, a potential 2016 presidential contender, will be in Phoenix on Friday.
Christie and Cindy Hensley McCain, the wife of U.S. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., will keynote a discussion on human trafficking, particularly spikes in prostitution during big sporting events and conventions. Trafficking rings sometimes bring prostitutes into markets hosting large events.
The event, sponsored by Arizona State University’s McCain Institute for International Leadership, will be held at the Arizona Biltmore Resort and Spa in Phoenix.
Dave notes: Lots of reports from prior Super bowl about the myth created by the anti-sexwork feminists that cities need to watch out for the influx of under aged, pimped, sex trafficked sexworkers for Superbowls.
It is great for fund raising and applause for a political agenda and helps all the funding for the "rescue industry" like Catholic Charities in Phoenix and the Project Rose scam.
Snopes even exposes this myth with interviews of varies cities after they hosted games: " Said Phoenix police Sergeant Tommy Thompson after the 2008 Super Bowl: "We may have had certain precincts that were going gangbusters looking for prostitutes, but they were picking up your everyday street prostitutes. They didn't notice any sort of glitch in the number of prostitution arrests leading up to the Super Bowl."
From my reports in 2012: Super Bowl Prostitution Hoax?
Indianapolis mobilizes for an epic battle with an urban legend," suggests that Indiana, as well as the rest of the country, sensationalizes the idea of human trafficking for publicity or "political gain." Pete Kotz, who penned the article, stated "No one gets excited about garden-variety prostitution anymore. As a culture war wedge, it's so 1912."
Kotz continued to add that because the public has seemingly lost interest, politicians have "changed their advertising" by moving the focus from "adult harlots" to underage girls.
Superbowl Sex Trafficking Increase? Super Nonsense An increasing number of groups are intent on persuading Americans that we have a terrible and growing problem with sex trafficking. Their data is virtually non-existent, elided with words like “experts agree,” “a shameful epidemic,” and “enormous human suffering.” The media reports their conferences and feral estimates, politicians grimly respond with vows of stricter laws, and the occasional wildly unusual victim is trotted out as proof of some enormous underground industry.
The favorite ploy of anti-trafficking groups is to grimly remind us that major sporting events are a central focus of this evil. Texas attorney general Greg Abbot said “The Super Bowl is one of the biggest human-trafficking events in the United States”—without any data. He strengthened a unit to pursue those involved with child prostitution (not the same thing as trafficking, of course). The result—at the Dallas Superbowl there were 113 arrests for prostitution, and none for trafficking.
The same is true for the last three Superbowl's: grim predictions of upcoming trafficking disasters, and none materializing. Says Robert Casey Jr., special agent in charge of the FBI’s Dallas office, “The Super Bowl does not create a spike in those crimes.”
Every year, the NFL has to deny that they’re the center of an odious international sex slavery ring. NFL spokesperson Brian McCarthy says the super bowl sex slave story is a simply an urban legend. But that doesn't stop those who are feeding—and feeding off of—America’s latest Sex Panic.
One week before hosting their Superbowl, for example, Indiana’s House and Senate both voted unanimously for a new law that makes recruiting, transporting or harboring anyone younger than 16 for prostitution a felony punishable by 20 to 50 years in prison. The law was passed without a single documented case of sex trafficking in the state. You now get less jail time in Indiana for murdering a teen than for pimping her.

Millions of taxpayer dollars are wasted in Phoenix going after in private consenting adult sexworkers whose crime is pleasure using swat teams and felony charges. Scads of recent cases including the Pheonix Goddess Temple now on 3rd judge in over 3 years, with threats of 40 years in prison if don't take a felony plea deal for mere "association" with little direct evidence of any prostitution.
All the many cases would be totally legal in almost all the world and no big deal, except in the U.S. were release of sexual tension and pleasure is such a huge crime - and source of huge funding, and political bragging wraped in the scam that it is mostly about under aged and pimp type trafficking which is rare.
