Other Missoula child prostitution ring leader sentenced

March 12, 2011 in Craigslist, Prostitution/Human Trafficking by Trench Reynolds | No comments

Man sent to prison for Missoula prostitution ring:

Last month Richard Carpita was sentenced to 10 years in state prison for being one of the ring leaders of a craigslist prostitution ring in Missoula, Montana that used underage girls.

This past week his cohort Anthony Brazington was sentenced to four years in the state pen for charges of conspiracy to commit aggravated promotion of prostitution.

Brazington said it was his $150 a day weed habit that led him to get into child prostitution. And I thought weed wasn’t addictive, but that’s another rant for another time. Although even most burnouts I’ve ever met haven’t loved weed so much that they forced a 16-year-old to turn tricks either.

And yes I do think four years is a joke and unless maybe it was hard labor. They need to bring that back especially for pimps and traffickers.

Missoula child prostitution ring leader sentenced

February 18, 2011 in Craigslist, Prostitution/Human Trafficking by Trench Reynolds | 5 comments

Missoula Craigslist prostitution ring leader headed to prison:

30-year-old Richard Carpita previously had pleaded guilty to prostituting underage girls on craigslist in Missoula, Montana. This week he was sentenced to 10 years in a Montana state prison.

Ten years is a good start but again it’s not enough for people who are willing to repeatedly sell children as sex slaves. Personally I think it should be a mandatory life sentence and in a perfect world that would come with hard labor too.

Carpita’s cohort, Anthony Brazington, is supposed to be sentenced next month.

In 10 years a child has never been trafficked on Geebo.com.

2nd Missoula child prostitution ring leader pleads guilty

January 27, 2011 in Craigslist, Prostitution/Human Trafficking by Trench Reynolds | No comments

2nd Missoula prostitution ring leader pleads guilty:

Back in December I posted about 30-year-old Richard Carpita pleading guilty to running a prostitution ring in Missoula, Montana on craigslist that employed underage girls. Now his cohort, 21-year-old Anthony Brazington, has also pleaded guilty to the charges against him.

Carpita will be be sentenced in February and Brazington will be sentenced in March.

For once I hope these child traffickers get a real sentence.

No child has ever been trafficked on Geebo.com.

Missoula craigslist john a no show in court

January 22, 2011 in Craigslist, Prostitution/Human Trafficking by Trench Reynolds | 4 comments

Clinton man accused of being Craigslist prostitution client skips court hearing:

31-year-old Adam Schiesser is one of the men accused of soliciting underage prostitutes in the now infamous Missoulal, Montana craigslist child prostitution ring. Schiesser is accused of trading an ounce of weed to have sex with an adult woman.

Now he’s also accused of failure to appear as he blew off his court date for the charges. This shouldn’t be a surprise because in a previous incident Schiesser was supposed to pay restitution to a police offer he beat up while resisting arrest in 2009. He stopped paying that.

As far as I can tell he has not been captured yet but I’m guessing the local police are chomping at the bit to get him back since he’s obviously not a fan of law enforcement.

Schiesser is poking the bear in my opinion and that bear will probably be more than happy to poke back.

One of Missoula child prostitution ring leaders pleads guilty

December 24, 2010 in Craigslist, Prostitution/Human Trafficking by Trench Reynolds | No comments

UM student pleads guilty to pimping teen prostitution ring on Craigslist:

30-year-old Richard Carpita pleaded guilty this past week to running a prostitution ring on craigslist that used at least 3 underage girls.

Carpita is looking at 20 years in a Montana state prison. I hope the prisons there are just as tough as the terrain and the weather in MT.

His cohort, 21-year-old Anthony Brazington, has his next court appearance in January.

No child has ever been trafficked on Geebo.com.

Missoula child prostitution ring johns sentenced

December 19, 2010 in Craigslist, Prostitution/Human Trafficking by Trench Reynolds | 6 comments

4 sentenced as Missoula prostitution ring clients:

I originally posted about the Missoula, Montana child prostitution ring in craigslist here and here.

The johns that were arrested for soliciting the girls were sentenced this past week to were all sentenced to 6 months in jail. Again not a serious enough sentence for paid child rape but it’s a start.

However I want to point out something mentioned in the article. Even though the alleged ring leaders, 30-year-old Richard A. Carpita and 21-year-old Anthony J. Brazington, were running this ring prior to the shut down of adult services they were advertising these girls in the casual encounters section. You know that section don’t you? It’s the one where no monitoring ever goes on and has been used for child molestation and revenge rapes.

Until craigslist either cleans up or moderates that section the fight is far from over.

Johns charged in Missoula child prostitution ring

December 12, 2010 in Craigslist, Prostitution/Human Trafficking by Trench Reynolds | 1 comment

Clients charged in Missoula Craigslist prostitution ring:

I originally posted about the Missoula, Montana child prostitution ring here. At that time 30-year-old Richard A. Carpita and 21-year-old Anthony J. Brazington were charged with running a craigslist prostitution ring that had girls ages 16-19 working for them.

This past week the johns that were allegedly involved in the ring were charged with prostitution, a misdemeanor.

That’s the problem with trying to stop prostitution and human trafficking. The demand part of the equation, the johns, get little to no punishment whatsoever. In order to truly be serious about child prostitution and human trafficking these charges need to be made into felonies. Like I’ve said so many times before if you cut off the demand there will be no need for a supply.

Geebo.com never supplied to these scum.

Missoula, MT child prostitution ring busted

September 12, 2010 in Craigslist, Prostitution/Human Trafficking by Trench Reynolds | No comments

Child prostitution ring uncovered in Missoula; two men arrested:

While craigslist has removed the adult services section, at least temporarily, let’s not forget their past transgressions. For example take this story out of Missoula, Montana. About as smnall town as you can get. There police have arrested 30-year-old Richard A. Carpita and 21-year-old Anthony J. Brazington for allegedly running a child prostitution ring on craigslist.

The investigation started back in May when police were called to a mini mart for a shoplifting call. It was then that police say Carpita fled from the scene on foot leaving his car and two female passengers behind. The females told police that Carpitra was pimping out a 16-year-old runaway girl.

Along with the 16-year-old police say that Carpita and his roommate Brazington were pimping out three other girls between the ages of 16 and 18.

Again these were ads on craigslist that were supposedly screened not to appear on the site in the first place. But again craigslist was only screening them for legal reasons and not moral ones. And I’m not talking about morality as any religion or political party would have you believe. I’m talking about decent humanity where most people don’t want children trafficked for sex.

18 Attorneys General call for the shutdown of craigslist’s adult services but one is missing

August 24, 2010 in Craigslist, Prostitution/Human Trafficking by Trench Reynolds | 2 comments

AGs Call for End of Craigslist Adult Services:

Attorneys general target Craigslist:

Missouri AG Chris Koster joins other attorneys general asking Craigslist to remove adult ads:

Ohio AG: Craigslist should drop adult services:

Tennessee AG joins in call on Craigslist to eliminate adult services section:

AGs demand Craigslist drop adult services section:

Gansler among 17 state AGs calling for Craigslist to drop adult services:

Kansas AG Asks Craigslist To Remove Adult Ads:

In case you couldn’t tell this is big news.

18 U.S. State Attorneys General have called for craigslist to shut down the adult services section. Among those are Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut, Martha Coakley of Massachusetts, Chris Koster of Missouri, Richard Cordray of Ohio, Bob Cooper of Tennessee, Dustin McDaniel of Arkansas, Douglas F. Gansler of Maryland, and Steve Six of Kansas. Not mentioned are the AGs from Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Montana, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Texas and Virginia.

Of course craigslist was quick to pay lip service to the AGs…

Craigslist supports states’ efforts to stop illegal exploitation, spokeswoman Susan MacTavish Best said in a statement that did not indicate whether the website plans to get rid of its adult services section.

Of course they have no intention of getting rid of adult services. Craigslist has a history of flying in the face of common decency.

While this is a big piece of news there’s something missing. It’s easy for these attorneys general to call for craigslist to shut down adult services. There’s only one attorney general who if he put his name behind this movement would have a huge impact. I am of course referring to former governor, former mayor of Oakland, current gubernatorial candidate and current attorney general of California…

Jerry Brown

Attorney General Brown, we may be politically opposed in some of our views but for a man who cares about the environment and opposes the death penalty I would imagine that you would be opposed to the trafficking of women and children that is being facilitated by craigslist.

Craigslist is headquartered in your home state. In my opinion craigslist’s shameful record when it comes to prostitution, child prostitution and human trafficking is a black eye for the Golden State. If I can’t appeal to your heart I will appeal to your aspirations. How much of a huge political coup would it be in your current gubernatorial race if you got the biggest facilitator of human trafficking in the country to get that section of the website shut down?

Mr. Brown, I beg of you to add your name to that of the other state attorney’s general in asking craigslist to shut down the adult services section. Maybe they will listen to you.

Don’t forget, while craigslist is dragging its feet Geebo.com has been human trafficking free since its inception.
