Was known pedophile and sex trafficking weird Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz amongst them?
He was cleverly disguised as some anime girl.
How else is he going to find a 10,000 year old dragon.
Oh, imagine - in all the 10 thousand years that dragon could have hoarded a lot of furniture (sofas, couches, ottomans, etc). It would be foolish not to try.
Vance is interested in these couches I mean dragon.

Pfft, that weirdo couldn’t even spell ‘anime.’
As a result of the three-day operation, 14 sex buyers were arrested, nine adult potential victims of sex trafficking were recovered, and one 16-year-old was recovered. According to the statement, support services, child welfare services and juvenile support service advocates were on the scene as needed.
The rightwing nutjobs are always freaking out about little kids getting trafficked and the reality is it’s mostly adults.
Sex buyers?
Was that trafficking or prostitution?
Wonder how much harm could be mitigated without puritanical laws around sex workers.
Many, many prostitutes are not prostitutes by choice. They’re smuggled into the US with promises of spouses or office jobs, then forced into prostitution when they arrive under threat of being “turned in” or simply being abandoned in a country where nobody speaks their language and they have no paperwork or prospects.
Sounds like legalising it would help these victims by empowering them instead of making them hide in the shadows afraid of being caught.
They’re mostly afraid of deportation or imprisonment related to their illegal entry into the country or their prospects in a country where they have no citizenship, no employment options, have limited legal protections, and don’t speak the language.
Legalization wouldn’t really help with any of that. But what it would do is reduce the demand for illegal prostitution. It would help stop the trap before they’re in it.
Prostitution of a 16 year old? The consent is 16 in california.
What a weird question.
Or the 9 adults mentioned…
Rightwing nut jobs: “See? They’re trafficking adults because of our efforts to stop child trafficking!”
Normal people: Why not just stop trafficking altogether?
RWNJ: “WHY DO YOU HATE CHILDREN??!?!”
Why are writing ‘recovered’ instead of rescued?

I would guess that ‘rescued’ means ‘saved’ and ‘recovered’ means ‘saved and returned to their family.’
A person is saved from drowning, and recovered from a hostage situation.
Watch Republicans conflate cosplayers with drag queens and claim the 14 were both.
About time people admitted that all these big events bring with them sez trafficking.
Don’t get me started on Olympics or major sporting events.
Don’t get me started on Olympics or major sporting events
Or even just what the athletes do as a matter of routine. The NBA, NFL, etc all invest a shitload of money and political capital to ensure their players stay the squeaky-clean “role models” they present to the world. I’d be shocked if they didn’t engage in sex trafficking on their own just to meep it out of the public better.
Shame the 14 arrests included 0 pimps, but maybe that’ll come after the victims are interviewed.
