Many of San Francisco's Asian massage parlors -- long an established part of the city's sexually permissive culture -- have degenerated into something much more sinister: international sex slave shops.

LOL
who is the house rep from that city?
I want an investigation of what she knew and when she knew it

Great, and I am sending my boss and a co-manager there on Tuesday. Hope they stay at their hotel!

A decoy, an Asian police officer in jeans and a T-shirt, stood in view of the security camera over Sophia's front door and pressed the buzzer. The metal security door opened.
He duct-taped the lock so Newsom, the inspectors, police, a social worker and a reporter could get in.
In the US the technical term for this is Rape. The pimps, madams, and johns should be charged with such.
Hey, nowadays a married woman has more privacy rights than a prostitute from police nosing and her own husband. I would say this is a step forward. But note how the article bemoans the targetting of prostitutes as opposed to that of pimps. Well, when feminist courts take the role of pimp and distributing kids and moneys to whomever, guess what.
