Guys, I deeply need your prayers. Something has come up with just the smallest glimmer of a chance in finding answers to my sexual abuse/trafficking case. The chances are so slim, but they are there. Please pray that it be God's will that something truly comes from this.

Forcing the term "sex worker" into the conversation has been the stupidest fucking thing people could have done. I had to watch a charity ad about a """sex worker""" who lives in a fucking train station and is forced to give "paid sex" to men and boys who threaten her or her baby with knives but she's a """"SEX WORKER???""""

BITCH SHE IS A VICTIM OF RAPE! SHUT THE FUCK UP! I DON'T CARE WHAT FUCKING SOB STORY YOU CLAIM TO HAVE ABOUT """WORKERS""" NEEDING DIGNITY, YOU TOOK THAT DIGNITY AWAY THE MOMENT YOU TURNED FINANCIALLY COERCED RAPE INTO A FUCKING JOB! ONLYFANS AND PORN ISN'T EMPOWERING BECAUSE THE ONES DETERMINING YOUR WORTH ARE HOLDING THE PURSE STRINGS!!!!

RAPISTS ARE NOT CUSTOMERS, PIMPS ARE NOT EMPLOYERS, AND "SEX WORKERS" ARE NOT EMPLOYEES. RAPE/FINANCIALLY COERCED SEX IS NOT A SERVICE AND THE BODIES OF VICTIMS ARE NOT PRODUCTS YOU CAN PAY FOR, EVER. SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT """SEX WORK"""!!!!

When MAGA talks about human trafficking and pedophiles, they are talking about themselves.

Every Republican in Congress knows they have a duty to protect paternalistic rapists and sex offenders. They all betray every woman/girl/child in America in the name of Trump.

The betrayal is the MAGA design.

As if he wasn’t enough of a goddamn degenerate, he did this shit in front of his little son. He repeatedly violated SP while his son was in the same room, sometimes even in eye and earshot.

HE HAD HIS YOUNG SON REFERRING TO ONE OF HIS VICTIMS AS SLAVE AND DEMANDING SHE CALL HIM MASTER LIKE SHE DOES HIS FATHER. A CHILD, demanding a woman call him MASTER after witnessing his FATHER force her to do it. AND NEIL FOUND THAT AMUSING.

HE MOLESTED THIS SAME VICTIM WHILE THEY WERE SEATED ON THE COUCH WITH HIS C H I L D.

And Scarlett wasn’t even the only woman he had his son be present for. This is a PATTERN.

Absolutely no joke, I personally would have 1000% drowned him like a fucking rabid sewer rat the second he oozed his non-euclidean ass carcass into that bath tub. Then again, I’m 31, quite a bit older than the victim was and no longer prone to freeze/fawn, I DO NOT BLAME HER FOR FREEZING. He is a schlubby, sniveling, sadistic, insecure, impotent little doughboy cuck who lives vicariously through le edgy cool goth self-insert OCs and can only feel like a “real man” by overpowering terrified girls decades younger than him. Pathetic. My heart is shattered for that girl. For all of them.

I’m usually the first to complain that people here use suicide demands way too liberally, but right now I feel so hollowed out and filled with ice water and broken glass after reading Vulture and Rolling Stone that I mean this from the bottom of my soul: Neil Gaiman (YOU TOO AMANDA, YOU WERE HIS PROCURER, HIS VERY OWN GHISLAINE),

Genuinely genuinely, why does it matter so much?

Like if it's not your "baby", why does it matter to you whether it lives or dies. If I gave birth to a baby in 9 months time, you would not know. If I had an abortion in 4 weeks time, you would not know. Why does it matter to you?

Because abortion is a human rights violation and that matters to me and should matter to everyone. Just because I don’t see a rape happen doesn’t mean it shouldn’t matter to me. Just because I don’t see an evil act happen doesn’t mean I can’t speak out against it. An evil act is an evil act, no matter if I know it happens or not. I’m still against child or sex trafficking even though I don’t know anyone personally who have been trafficked. An innocent human being intentionally killed matters to me and it should matter to you, no matter what.

So lousiana has state-wide child sex trafficking ring through the church

The affidavit requesting the search warrant, first obtained by the New Orleans-based WWL Radio, alleges that multiple sex abuse victims provided statements that claim they were transported to other parishes and outside of Louisiana, where they were sexually abused. It further alleges a scheme within the archdiocese in which abused children were instructed to provide “gifts” to certain priests, which were meant to signal that the children were targets for sexual abuse.

Quick reminder, priest can't be sued for damages from their pedophilia in Louisiana

The Louisiana Supreme Court’s recent opinion determined that a civil judgment against a priest by victims who are now adults could not be applied retroactively.

And did you know that currently there is legislation to staff schools with priests in place of school councilors?

Marilyn Monroe was a foster child.

Sasha Gray was a foster child.

Both of these women became a sex symbol. Marilyn was a pin up model and famous movie star. Sasha was a porn star who was depicted in degrading scenes (and later spoke out against the porn industry she once advocated for. She has said she was coerced into the industry).

The foster care to sex trafficking pipeline has always been a problem. Girls that lack parents or a stable home life are especially vulnerable to sexual exploitation. In the age of the Internet and the porn industry however, the sadistic and misogynistic sexual abuse of women has become mainstream.

Girls age out of the foster care system and get sacrificed on the altar of pornography. Their rape is shared on Reddit subs under tags like "dead eyes" and "barely legal". Young boys consume porn and these scenes they watch become normalized. They adopt these sexual scripts as normal behaviour and they become the type of boys who think it's normal to choke, strangle, beat, degrade girls during sex.

Self proclaimed feminists defend the sex industry and dismiss the horrific cases of abuse in porn as outliers. They argue that "sex work is work" and that some women genuinely enjoy it. However, let me argue it this way. There is supply and demand. If the demand for prostitutes, porn stars or "sex workers" is high but the supply is low (meaning women don't want to do sex work), where will the supply come from? The answer is marginalized women. Women from foster care, homeless women, refugees, migrant women, racial minorities, substance dependant women.

And so, who will supply the demand for porn audiences who want to see taboo niche videos? What if the demand is for rough anal sex of a barely legal teen until she cries?

The recruitment of the sex industry is predatory. This is why sex trafficking victims are overwhelmingly women from foster care. When girls age out of care, they are disproportionately at risk for homelessness. Research the outcomes of foster kids.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A white ex-police detective in Kansas died Monday in an apparent suicide just before the start of his criminal trial over allegations that he sexually assaulted Black women and terrorized those who tried fight back.

Local police found Roger Golubski dead of a gunshot wound on the back porch of his split-level home outside Kansas City, Kansas. The Kansas Bureau of Investigation said “there are no indications of foul play” in the 71-year-old’s death, discovered Monday morning after a neighbor heard a gunshot.

Fifty miles (80 kilometers) to the west, prosecutors and Golubski’s attorneys were inside the federal courthouse in Topeka, where Golubski faced six felony counts of violating women’s civil rights. Prosecutors say that, for years, Golubski preyed on female residents in poor neighborhoods, demanding sexual favors and sometimes threatening to harm or jail their relatives if they refused. He had pleaded not guilty.

“There is no justice for the victims,” said Anita Randle-Stanley, who went to court to watch jury selection. Randle-Stanley, who is not a victim in this case, said Golubski began harassing her when she was a teenager decades ago, but she always refused him.

The heart of this trial focused on two women: one who said Golubski began sexually abusing her when she was a young teen in middle school, and another who said he began abusing her after her twin sons were arrested. Prosecutors said seven other women were planning to testify that Golubski abused or harassed them as well. And advocates for the women believe there are other victims who have either died or have been afraid to come forward.

The allegations that Golubski preyed on women over decades with seeming impunity outraged the community and deepened its historical distrust of law enforcement. The prosecution followed earlier reports of similar abuse allegations across the country where hundreds of officers have lost their badges after allegations of sexual assaults.

Some of the women and their advocates were upset that Golubski was under house arrest while he underwent kidney dialysis treatments three times a week. Cheryl Pilate, an attorney representing some of the women, said she has questions about how well the government was monitoring Golubski.

“The community had an enormous interest in seeing this trial go forward,” she added. “Now, the victims, the community and justice itself have been cheated.”

Ex-detective described as ‘despondent’ over coverage

After Golubski failed to appear in court Monday, his lead attorney, Christopher Joseph, said his client “was despondent about the media coverage.”

Joseph said he had talked to Golubski regularly, including Monday morning, and he was shocked to hear that his client had apparently killed himself.

As for Golubski’s death, he said, “I don’t know the details.”

This case against Golubski was part of a string of lawsuits and criminal allegations that led the county prosecutor’s office to begin a $1.7 million effort to reexamine cases Golubski worked on during his 35 years on the force.

One double murder case Golubski investigated already has resulted in an exoneration and an organization run by rapper Jay-Z is suing to obtain police records.

“We have to keep fighting,” said Starr Cooper, who was in the courthouse Monday to watch jury selection and said Golubski victimized her mother before her death in 1983.

Advocates for women rally, lament lack of trial

About 50 people had a short rally Monday morning in sub-freezing temperatures outside the federal courthouse in Topeka to show their support for the women accusing Golubski. They held signs with slogans such as, “Justice Now!”

Lora McDonald, executive director of MORE2, a Kansas City-area social justice group, said participants learned that Golubski didn’t show up in court just as the rally began. They dispersed before prosecutors announced his death.

They later joined Pilate in calling for an independent, outside investigation into Golubski’s death.

“Golubski terrorized an entire community and co-conspired with dangerous people,” McDonald said. “Our rally today was not just about Roger Golubski. Rather, it was about the department in which his criminal activity flourished.”

Pilate lamented that without a trial for Golubski, “In the eyes of the law he died an innocent man.”

Max Seifert, a former Kansas City police officer who graduated from the police academy with Golubski in 1975, said Golubski’s supporters will treat him as a martyred victim of unfair pretrial publicity. He contends the department condoned misconduct.

“I feel that there is always going to be a cloud of mystery about this,” he added.

Decades of whispered allegations

Stories about Golubski remained just whispers in the neighborhoods near Kansas City’s former cattle stockyards partly because of the extreme poverty of a place where crime was abundant and some homes are boarded up. One neighborhood where Golubski worked is part of Kansas’ second-poorest zip code.

Fellow officers once revered Golubski for his ability to clear cases, and he rose to the rank of captain in Kansas City before retiring there in 2010 and then working on a suburban police force for six more years. His former partner served a stint as police chief.

The inquiry into Golubski stems from the case of Lamonte McIntyre, who started writing to McCloskey’s nonprofit nearly two decades ago.

McIntyre was just 17 in 1994 when he was arrested and charged in connection with a double homicide, within hours of the crimes. He had an alibi; no physical evidence linked him to the killings; and an eyewitness believed the killer was an underling of a local drug dealer.

In the other federal criminal case involving Golubski, that drug dealer also was charged with him, accused of running a violent sex trafficking operation.

McIntyre’s mother said in a 2014 affidavit that she wonders whether her refusal to grant regular sexual favors to Golubski prompted him to retaliate against her son.

In 2022, the local government agreed to pay $12.5 million to McIntyre and his mother to settle a lawsuit after a deposition in which Golubski invoked his Fifth Amendment right to remain silent 555 times. The state also paid McIntyre $1.5 million.

I have part of one of my Tav's backstory that she was a sex slave and feels really guilty about liking (parts of) it, and I think Halsin would help her work through that. Between his own past and also just being really *experienced* with all manner of sex, I'm sure he could guide her though not being ashamed of the parts she enjoyed while still acknowledging that it was trauma.

I imagine him being just a soft and supportive dom for her. Giving her orders, smacking her, punishing her, but all the while giving her so much support and encouragement in the form of "good girl"s and "you're taking this so well for me" and stuff like that. And then afterwards he would be KING of aftercare.

Shopping at Walmart GONE WRONG

These guys even posed as employees with the uniform and all and worked in a team of at least two men, trying to lure the victim out of the store to her car. These are most likely human traffickers and cases like this are sadly not just extreme outliers/seldom occurrences, but common practices.

Seemingly harmless things like per example getting asked to please help an apparently injured person or something with a car or an invitation* to a - fake - job interview are getting used by traffickers.

(*there exist cases, where traffickers scout social media/networks to find and target young women who, per example, are looking for a job; just to then try to lure and drug them. Be wary with your info - where you are and/or where you are going, esp. in realtime, where you live/work/go to school and if you can get contacted by complete strangers etc.)

Women and girls are especially targeted: 71% of all human trafficking victims worldwide - forced labor trafficking & sex trafficking combined - are female.

In sex trafficking specifically, the numbers climb up to from around 94% to even 99%(!)* of all victims being female, women and girls.

* Studies suggest that only about 0.04% survivors of human trafficking cases get ever identified, meaning that the vast majority of cases of human trafficking go undetected. 

Human trafficking is the second largest and fastest growing criminal industry in the world, second only to drug trafficking.

Be safe out there and always listen to your gut. Don't be afraid to verify/check things first, to ask someonefor help or even as simple to just say 'no'.
