Day 83: Friday Organization

Day 82: Sentenced to 11 years!

On my hunt to find and introduce a female pimp, I located this article. This article does not discuss a female pimp, but it does introduce an Atlanta gentleman, and discusses what his life will look like for the next 11 years. 

Name of Pimp: Johnathon Kelly

Age: 31 years

Location: Atlanta 

Charges: Taking and prostituting a 17 year old girl runaway across State lines. 

Kelly will be serving 11 years in prison! "Kelly pleaded guilty June 30 to one count of transporting a minor for prostitution. In addition to prison time, he must serve 20 years of supervised release, register as a sex offender, and pay the victim $7,500 in restitution."

Day 79: Who are the Traffickers?

Who are the Traffickers?

According the Polaris Project and the research they have conducted on human trafficking cases, potential traffickers may include the following:

  • Pimps
  • Intimate partners/family members
  • Gangs and criminal networks
  • Brothel and fake massage business owners and managers
  • Growers and crewleaders in agriculture
  • Labor brokers
  • Employers of domestic servants
  • Small business owners and managers
  • Large factory owners and corporations

  

Day 78: Traffickers, what do we know?

This past week I spent time discussing statistics. This coming week, I will focus on the traffickers, rather than the trafficked. While I find myself disgusted by the actions of the traffickers, I have to remember that they have a story as well. Something led them down this path and hopefully one day, we will have a better understanding as to why Pimps become Pimps and Traffickers, traffic. Until then, I will continue to do my research and enlighten you all on who the pimps are, and what is happening to them. 

Happy Sunday!
