However, we don't know the reason this happened. There are a myriad of reasons that a place was *finally* busted after so many years operating.

Look at the media spin.
"The individuals that are involved in the slave aspect of it are truly just that. They are slaves," said Geron. "It doesn’t stand out. Certainly the people in the community know it’s there. But it’s not like a violent crime, it’s not something that gets noticed very often."
"Police said six victims were taken from the massage parlor. Five of them took them up offers for further assistance through family services."
"All suspects were charged with aggravated promotion of prostitution and engaging in organized criminal activity."
Dallas Morning News reported the women were living in squalid condition and not charged with prostitution.
"Police said approximately $370,000 related to the operation was seized or frozen."
What has been happening for years now is that LE has been trying to go after and seize the assets from prostitution. LE thinks any money that is illegally obtained should be theirs. Hell, they think any money that COULD have been illegally obtained is theirs.
The idea that LE could spin any prostitution as human trafficking is now in full force. When Robert Kraft was charged, human trafficking was brought up but no HT charges were filed.
In this case, the pattern is the same. The media, who is in bed with LE, is reporting that the women were "slaves" living in squalid conditions who accepted family service offers.
Here is the way I read it: the hookers who voluntarily admitted to being hookers and profited from it and who were well treated by their bosses are being bribed to testify against their owners in exchange for payment and not being charged themselves.
This is all about LE enriching itself. Period. There are very, very few prostitutes who are trafficked, but the media and LE are doing all they can to say that all prostitutes are trafficked for their own selfish purposes.
Do you remember how you heard one in three women in college were raped? Well, that number was derived from women having a drink prior to having sex or any woman who regretted having sex. A woman who thinks she wasn't raped has been told by LE and by her feminazi brethren she has been, and the same is going on here.
Given that I have given women alcohol upon their request and had sex with them, I am a rapist. As long as LE can get away with buying the hookers off, calling these women slaves, and saying these women lived in squalid conditions, any men who have gone to spas like you and I may have, are supporting enslaving women.
But you say these women didn't live in squalid conditions. Hell, the conditions they lived in were similar if not better to the ones they lived at in South Korea, but you and I don't get to define squalid AOI, LE and the media does. It doesn't matter if we have been there and never seen a woman with a bruise, never seen a woman mistreated in front of our eyes. If LE says they are victims, they are victims.
But these woman come and go right? By choice? Just like the rape victim who doesn't know she is raped, the slaves may not know they are slaves.

"This myth perpetuates the idea that all trafficking victims are kidnapped and restrained, or wanting desperately to escape or be rescued by others. Despite this myth, many victims are not locked into conditions of trafficking by physical bonds or restraint. Physical restraint, physical force, or bodily harm are not required in order to maintain control. There are psychological and emotional barriers that may force people into and maintain them within conditions of exploitation.
In addition, victims/survivors may not identify as victims because they feel they have chosen their conditions."
Let's be real. The spa owners, the hookers, and the men who go to spas are all criminals. You can see the presumption of innocence is dead, so all that is keeping you out of jail is that LE isn't interested or hasn't gotten to you yet, but LE has been blaming men this whole time.
So to say you don't know what happens next is naive. LE has already declared men the criminals and women the victims. It's all about money, and once LE is done with the wealthy spa owners, it will go after the men next. I would be stunned if it doesn't happen.
