I mean, it mostly is now because of broadly gestures all of this. But there was a time when I would frequently write about human trafficking, mainly because of two websites, craigslist and Backpage. Backpage , on the other hand, kept going until they were seized by the Federal Government in However, my friends at The Broad Lens blog have got you covered.
And one day I have to review that stupid Sound of Freedom movie. Anyway, to make a long story even longer, I found a news story that caught my eye while I was doing research for my day job.
Our story starts in Bristol, Connecticut, a suburb of nearby Hartford. According to a craigslist ad, Aqua After Dark offered cuddle sessions, massages, and a jacuzzi.
Now, before we continue our story, your humble author grew up in the New Jersey suburbs, where strip malls were practically invented. On the many trips my parents would take us on between the Atlantic City area, where we lived, to Philadelphia to see our relatives, we would pass an untold number of strip malls.
The majority of these strip malls were in pretty decent towns. There was the lingerie store where women would model the products offered. Then there was the adult toy store, which also had live models for some reason. And of course, there were the prerequisite Asian-themed massage parlors that always had their storefront windows blacked out. My point is that the suburbs have been a haven for sex trafficking dating back to at least my childhood in the s and 80s.
