Philadelphia Sex Slave Ring at Ramada

When hotels stop looking the other way on prostitution we all will be better off.

A Philadelphia Ramada Inn had six to eight of its rooms operating a sex slave and drug ring. The women were tied down, drugged and beaten while being prostituted.

It's one thing to patronize prostitutes. It's quite another to patronize prostitutes that are tied down, beaten up and drugged. Why aren't the clients being charged here?

Run-of-the-Mill Hooker, or Sex Slave?

Thousands of children are kidnapped each year and beaten and raped into being brainwashed. Human traffickers then force them into prostitution. The following are indicators that the person you are dealing with is a victim of human trafficking:


Lack of Control

Has few or no personal possessions
Is not in control of his/her own money, no financial records, or bank account
Is not in control of his/her own identification documents (ID or passport)
Is not allowed or able to speak for themselves (a third party may insist on being present and/or translating)

Claims of “just visiting” and inability to clarify where he/she is staying / address
Lack of knowledge of whereabouts and/or do not know what city he/she is in
Loss of sense of time
Has numerous inconsistencies in his/her story

Is not allowed breaks or suffers under unusual restrictions at work
Is not free to leave or come and go as he/she wishes
Is under 18 and is providing commercial sex acts
Is in the commercial sex industry and has a pimp / manager
Is unpaid, paid very little, or paid only through tips
Works excessively long and/or unusual hours


If you see any of these red flags, call the National Human Trafficking Resource Center hotline at 1-888-373-7888 now to report the situation.

It Takes More Than Divorce To Create a Hooker

Linked to this post is the People magazine article on Ashley Alexandra Dupre. Read it. Absorb it. I'm no expert on the causes of prostitution, however it seems to me that it takes more than divorce to create a hooker. Enough said on that front.

Who are these 'friends' that are quoted in the article? I know that Ms. Dupre has been complaining that people in her old school are trying to cash in on her "media moment." Do they have permission to speak to People magazine on behalf of Ms. Dupre? My guess is not.

Then do any of you ever wonder what your high school classmates would do if you were caught up in a sex scandal? Ugh.
