It's not the end of backpage. Changes will come that will help those who are "forced" to work as well as weed out minors.
They may goes as far as to require all ladies that post to take a picture of their face with their ID next to it to prove that they are over 18. Stuff like that will happen.
It doesn't bother me at all. If that's what I have to do to ensure that minors are not posting on there (by choice or force) that is fine with me.
The charges are from California so who knows what they will do on the left coast.
If charges are true, I sincerely hope he gets the justice that is deserved.
