OH MY LORD!!!!!! I am freaked out right now
oh wow
.such a scary thing happened way too close to home for me
:wow
Last week I dropped my daughter off at her nice, supposedly safe upscale apartment. It is pretty expensive and in a very safe area because she is 23 and very attractive and I always worry about her safety. She attracts a lot of unwanted attention.
I am glad she lives with her boyfriend and I think it may have been a good thing after what just happened.
I was dropping her off and then streaming in right behind us were 3 police cars, pulling right up to the locked door she was about to enter into the building. She stopped for a second and one of the officers asked her her apt number, she told them and he told her to go ahead but to go right to her apt and stay inside.
She called me later and said that her neighbor saw another tenant being handcuffed and escorted to a squad car. He was a 30 yr old guy, who she knew from walking her dog in the apt. doggie yard. She said he seemed like an OK guy but he was kind of flirty so she kept her distance.
She assumed he was selling or dealing drugs.
HOWEVER, just now found out what happened___
OKAYget readywant to know what he was arrested for????

A 16 yr old girl WENT MISSING. Her parents reported it and were searching for her. Cops eventually found her being held in a Moreno Valley apt with 5 others, all forced into submission and working as sex workers.
RIVERSIDE: MULTI-STATE SEX-TRAFFICKING RING UNCOVERS 20 VICTIMS, MANY JUVENILES

RIVERSIDE Officials announced the arrest of an alleged pimp who has been charged with human-trafficking of a 16-year-old girl and advertising her services as a prostitute in multiple online publications.
The man, identified as Lawrence Gunn Jr., 32, was arrested without incident Nov. 29, according to Riverside Sheriffs Sergeant John Sawyer.
20 victims, many juveniles, recovered after 10-month-long investigation
The investigation into Gunns illegal activities began in February when authorities traced a 16-year-old victim to a Moreno Valley motel, where Gunn was forcing her to work as a prostitute. The young girls family had reported her as missing.
In addition to the 16-year-old girl, officials discovered five more victims who were being forced to work for Gunn as prostitutes in Moreno Valley. Officials determined three of the recovered victims in the Moreno Valley motel were minors.
Many of Gunns victims branded with his moniker
Gunn, who goes by the street name, Classified, allegedly branded many of his prostitutes, including the 16-year-old girl with tattoos of his moniker. Many had his moniker tattooed over their right eyes or on their upper bodies. Gunn did this to permanently mark the sex workers he forced into prostitution.
According to officials, this type of tattooing, commonly referred to as branding, is commonly used by sex traffickers to not only dehumanize their victims, but to also permanently mark them as the personal property of the human trafficker.
OH MY GOD. This guy was speaking with my daughter, sometimes at 10 or 11 at night---inside the locked gates of her apt. complex. She'd go out to walk her dog sometimes and he'd be out there too. :thud:
PS===he lived in an apartment in Woodland Hills---hours away from the trafficking victims. He lived on a treelined, upper income, quiet street.
