    Default FoxNews article

    Sunday, March 21, 2004

    SPOKANE, Wash. — Hundreds of South Korean women are working in the United States as sex slaves as payback to their human smugglers for sneaking them across the Canadian border into Washington state.

    The women are forced to pay off their $15,000 smuggling (search) debt by working as prostitutes for organized crime rings in major American cities

    Dood. My hometown is two hours south of Spokane. I have nothing relevant to add otherwise, as I didn't dance in WA and the whole state has only perhaps 18 strip clubs.

    It's a big problem in the Bay Area and there are tons of Vietnamese, Korean and other Asian women stuck in the sex industry with exorbitant transfer fees to their ring leaders. Unfortunately, the newer T-1 Visa's dont help them much since most of them have families "as hostage" back home, so breaking free is no small task.

    Law enforcement sucks as there are usually deeper ties with payoffs involved, or it takes them years to gather enough evidence for busts. In the mean time, apartment "massage parlours" are growing out of control.
    It doesn't matter if you're somebody in this world, it rather matters you mean the whole world to somebody.

    i have to ask you something. is this your indirect way of criticizing the sc industry? it's not that i disagree with facts of the article or the issue (the dangers in the sex industry as a whole) itself. in fact, quite the opposite. i'm just wondering about your agenda. anyway, if that is the case, i really don't think that facts presented in the article necessarily has much to do the sc industry. some pimp holding the visa, of a korean or eastern european national, hostage while she works in an AMP or MP is one thing. OTOH, it's not exactly the same situation as an american born sex worker who chooses to work in the industry. i have made it pretty clear on this board why i have no sympathy for the customer who allows himself to get suckered by the industry. however, that doesn't mean that i have sympathy for strippers, quite the opposite.

    the sc industry has always had an "outlaw" aura about itself. granted, that aura will attract a certain type of young woman, but the industry itself has really done nothing to dispel this aura. sorry, but installing a cigar bar and a wine cellar changes that aura only in the cosmetic sense. frankly, the stench emanates from the top (ownership and management) and travels to the bottom (talent) and not the other way around. if a sc owner is not tony soprano. he's a tony soprano wannabe who is not above using a little "muscle" on his dancers. if he's "connected" his club is likely the FBI's next likely target for a RICO investigation or the location for a DEA sting. connected or not, the money still gets collected in a paper bag by "friends" who have enough influence to make others turn a blind eye. let's not even talk about the scams and con games that dancers run on customers or the fact that they allow management to treat them like doormats as long as they can reach their "earning potential". if the sc industry wants to be considered just as legitimate as any other mainstream business. run it like a business and not like an episode straight out of the sopranos. sorry, but putting a new suit on the same old monkey really isn't fooling anyone.

    No, not at all. I go to and enjoy stripclubs and fully understand there are good and bad apples in every club.
    I'm just posting to keep others informed and hopefully interested enough to do what they can to fight this sort of thing.
