Local DC businessman Jerry Schaeffer knowingly rents office space to a brothel, Spa Sky, that is involved in human trafficking.
That's "slavery" to you and me.
The DC chapter of Stop Modern Slavery has started an online petition at Change.org to pressure Jerry Schaeffer into evicting these tenants.
You wouldn't think this would be a problem. If these tenants were dealing drugs, Jerry Schaeffer would have no hesitancy in evicting them. Perhaps he thinks slavery is more like illegal parking. And not just slavery, but forced prostitution.
Conveniently located at 1215 Connecticut Avenue, NW, Washington, DC, right near the business district, this brothel is not populated by volunteers.
Please call Spa Sky and ask them about it: phone: 202-887-8223.
Please call Walmart and tell them their brand is being associated with forced prostitution:

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.
