5 face sex trafficking charges in prostitution ring based in Columbia:

5 men have been charged with running a prostitution ring in Columbia, Tennessee off of the Vilage Voice owned backpage.com. The women were allegedly forced to prostitute themselves through violence.

The alleged leader of the ring is Nathaniel Roberts aka “Nay Nay” or “Nay Nizzle”. That sounds like something that you would call your grandmother but I digress.

Roberts is accused of physically abusing the women and keeping all of their money. This is what your encouraging when you use the services of a prostitute.

One of those women is quoted in an affidavit as saying that she collected about $900 a week for the past three years and was not allowed to keep any of it.

“He abuses just about daily, physically or mentally, and says most of the time it’s because of my mouth. All the money I’ve made in prostitution for the last three years has been given to (him), every time,” she said.

If you think getting a blowjob is more important than the freedom of a woman like this then there’s a special place in hell for you.

The other memebrs of the “Wolf Pack” that have been charged are Tavoris Roberts, Patrick Bullock, Shermain Aiden and Johnny Turrentine.

They’re all looking at possible life sentences in federal prison on human trafficking charges.

Again, it seems like backpage isn’t doing the great job they say they are to stop human trafficking.

Let’s see. What site never made a dime off of prostitution or trafficking and never had an ‘adult’ section? That’s right. Geebo.com.

Man, Two Teen Girls Arrested In Prostitution Sting:

When there’s not a craigslist news story that doesn’t capture my attention, which is rare, the Village Voice Media owned backpage is always there to pick up the slack.

37-year-old Tyree Walker of Macon, Georgia was arrested in Nashville, Tennessee for allegedly prostituting two 17-year-old girls on backpage. Police set up the usual sting and charged him with trafficking for sexual servitude.

The girls were from Georgia and Virginia. Since he crossed state lines with minors wouldn’t he be able to be charged by the feds if they wanted to? Personally I’d rather see him serve his time in a Tennessee state prison than a federal one. Hopefully whatever jurisdiction he falls into will give him a real sentence and not some lame less than 20 years crap. You can’t combat human trafficking unless you put the traffickers away for a long time.

Instead of craigslist or backpage use Geebo.com instead. Someone’s daughters don’t get trafficked there.

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.

Woman falls victim to Craigslist check fraud:

This reminds me a lot of the tutor scam but both is a variation of the fake check scam.

Anyway what happened is that a woman in Clarksville, Tennessee was scammed out of $2,950. She had posted an ad on craigslist for her daycare service. The scam artist claimed to be from the UK and that he would be there on business and would pay $600. The scammer sent a check for $3,600 and asked the overage to be returned.

No wiring this time as the scammer met the victim in person. The victim had cashed the check and had given the scammer the money. Of course the check was fake.

However an arrest has been made. Police arrested 26-year-old Tarrance Kerry Freeman who allegedly tried to fake a seizure at the time of his arrest.

Remember people, a check for over the asking amount is fake.

But you can win a very real CCL t-shirt.
