Can someone refresh my memory as to how the pic of "Amy" was found? I seem to remember hearing on Dr. Phil that it was found by a guy who browses sex websites to search for missing women that may be victims of human trafficking - is that true?
That's what I read. A man searches on websites to look for missing persons. I think this is noble and since this is back - way back - of the infancy of using the internet to promote prostitution, there wouldn't be a whole lot out there yet. Most sex trade websites didn't really launch till the early 2000's (people still searched free papers, like the village voice, the redeye and what not). So he didn't have to go through a lot of sites like we have to now. There was not craigslist nor backpage, there wasn't a TER or Ero's guide..
The photos feel very out of place but if you look at them on the website via wayback machine, you'll note a watermark on SOME images but not all. I am just guessing that the watermark is from their photographer there and the other images are the ones the models/providers brought with them OR images taken from swingers magazines that were still very popular at the time.
I haven't done it yet but I considered taking a few and doing a google image reverse search to see if any were lifted from *advertiser censored* mags, because a few look it.
Like I said though, content back then was scarce so images were frequently lifted from other sites and used to entice potential clients to visiting and the girl wouldn't be there .. but "We have Suzy who would be perfect for you!" 90% of agencies STILL do this.
NSFW but you can google "escort bait and switch" to get an idea what I mean.
I am just trying to help those that have never needed to know how this all works, get a grasp of the reality and I hope some compassion to situations. I stand firm on my human trafficking statement. It's what I do for outreach and I'm more than a little invested in it. American girls stay within the US and normally are picked out in the most demeaning and upsetting way possible (not that there is a good way)
American girls between the ages of 12-15 are at the highest risk. Most time the mother is a street level prostitute and an "uncle/cousin" abuses the child or "saves" them. The girls then feel indebt to these men and want a fatherly like approval, and since most come from sexually abused background .. .sex is different in so many ways. I see these young girls a lot in Chicago's westside (garfield park). It's beyond tragic. They get to a certain age and become a bottom "beotch" for the pimp (meaning #1 girl) and then go out to find new girls to work for the pimp, they then watch the girls on the streets... not the pimp himself and report back if they misbehave. The heroin/cocaine trade is along side it, the girls become child prostitutes and the boys become corner hustlers ... and only if they can safely get to outreach do they survive. Sadly most do not.
Any trafficked women overseas (Russian, Polish) are brought over with student visa's or work visa's. My best friend is still paying off some debt that never really existed and I don't think she'll ever escape. But my point is, no one brings an American girl to other countries - ever.
The exceptions are Guam and Guam is a big big horrible choice for young girls wanting to escape their mundane surroundings with the promise of huge money from US service men in Guam. They feel safer to visit because of the service men. Once you get there though, you are in 1 tiny apt working shifts with up to 9 other american girls and keep 40% of your earnings. You only get to leave while supervised or when your time is up (2-4 weeks).
There's still adverts for "visiting strippers". Puerto Rico not so much though.
This is my last off topic post about it but thought it might shed some light on how sex tourism works. Do American girls travel to EU to work? Totally! I have many friends who do, but they go in pairs and not affiliated with companies. Sex tourism is more open there.
