"TRAFFICKING, SEX SLAVERY!!
The press and police use this boogeyman to gin up public support, but the truth of the matter is these women interview and come willingly to work in AMPS....thats not a narrative people want to hear.
If you have a legitimate sex worker who does this by total choice, then you have to think of it as a de facto legit business...and then next thing you know, sex worker laws.
And, some people dont want that. They dont want to acknowledge it. Its the policy of an Ostrich, and this is why it is ridiculous that these AMPS are even targeted. On both sides of the transaction, everyone is of free will, and uncoerced.
It's called creating a "moral panic"
"Myths about Asian massage parlor sex trafficking are used by cops to justify elaborate investigations and sting operations. But the only ones such antics seem to be helping are the cops who get paid to get massages (and more), the police departments and city governments who get to seize cash, cars, and homes from massage parlor owners and workers (asset forfeiture is a near universal feature of these cases), and the prosecutors who get to play hero to the press about it all."
