Nopark Prostitution ring that included local truck stop

Prostitution ring that included local truck stop was a violent, dangerous criminal operation


December 12, 2008
The Patriot-News - PA
Quote:
Those who term prostitution a victimless crime and flippantly dismiss it as the "world's oldest profession" should take a close look at an interstate sex ring whose operations included a local truck stop.
A 2005 federal indictment of 16 individuals and the recent conviction of two men in U.S. District Court in Harrisburg document a full-fledged and violent criminal enterprise.
Teenage girls -- one who was 12 when she was recruited -- were among those providing prostitution services that netted operators hundreds of thousands of dollars. Locally, the ring worked out of the Gables of Harrisburg truck stop in West Hanover Twp.

I'm thinkin' they should take them two out and publicly beat them every week until their time is served, and then again the next week just for good measure. Harsh you say? I think not, the use of under age girls to perform in this area is plain out right disgraceful..45 yrs, what a farce. Oh and the "john's" should be beaten in the same manner... Thy are just as much to blame here too.

I can't recall a single person, in my lifetime. That has ever called child prostitution a victim less crime.

And for this reporter, and anyone else to lump "other" people into a pedophile status, is reckless.

Next, they'll be charging us with murder for hunting animals.

It's not the same. Never will be.

That's the problem when an editorial is presented as news.

How about publicly caning these offenders...

Or better yet castration for the first offence, right hand next time around then.........
And on top of that prison time for each offence as well.

Let's see... 12 year old girls forced into prostitution... IMHO any one who would use the services of said girls is a pedophile. Sex with a minor is a crime every where, well Ok off shore does not count.. So That makes the girs a victim, and the "john's" a criminal! Who ever wrote that piece did not get credit, that I saw. It was an editorial, so he can and does say it how he feels... This was not a news story, but the way the facts were presented read as if it is one... I have reread the article to be sure I had it right again. No where did the person state it was a victimless crime.
On the note about next we will be charged with muder for hunting animals... Check Maine, they can and do put people in jail for poaching, they are known to get longer sentences than if they killed a person... Would not be the least bit supprised to find out that is true in states like OR, WA and CA. Hey PETA folks please don't wear shoes made of leather...
