Crime Enslaved on OnlyFans: Women describe lives of isolation, torment and sexual servitude

[Andy Capp]

I’ve also been very vocal about the pay to win game model and think that should be illegal as well.

You can find plenty of examples online of where these simps are lead on by some of the women in only fans, and I don’t think it’s fair to hand wave that away. They directly manipulate these guys and keep them in the hook hoping that one day they might have a chance.

You’re not going to get me to agree that alcohol belongs with this group. Theres a few problems with that study you linked but I really don’t feel like getting into the weeds right now. but to compare it to the more predatory women on only fans isn’t really the same thing anyways. The distillers making the product aren’t out there trying to coax alcoholics into the store to buy their products. They’re not DMing them and leading them in to something. I think that matters.

They aren't? How many ads for Onlyfans do you see on TV, in print, and online compared with ads for booze? Not to mention sporting events or live shows of any kind for that matter. I drink but I still think the way it's accepted in society compared to other vices is a massive issue.

I have two jobs. I teach criminology at a local university and my second job is a human trafficking advocate. I teach about how the internet is used to traffick people. You send a nude pic to a guy and he threatens to release unless you do x, y, and z. I go to universities and police departments to educate them on human trafficking.

I came across it a few times during my law enforcement career and didn’t realize it at the time. Rarely does it look like the movie “taken” but in my first week in uniform, we came across that where three guys from Cleveland forced a protitute into a vehicle and then forced her to turn tricks and give them the money. She eventually got a text message to a friend and we kicked in the door and arrested them for kidnapping. Human trafficking only became a crime in the US in 2000. This was 2002 and I had never heard of HT before, so we didn’t know what we were looking at.

Around 2008, we were looking for another dude from Cleveland (they have infested our area for drug dealing) who was wanted for a shooting. We kicked in the hotel door and he went for a gun under the mattress. We got to him before he could get the gun out. Anyway, as we are fighting to handcuff him, I look up and see two young girls-15 years old or so, hiding in the corner. They were runaways from Cleveland and were being trafficked. You can never have an underage prostitute. Under the age of 18, anyone paying for sex with a minor is ALWAYS considered trafficking now. We arrested him for the warrant for the shooting, charged him with drug and gun crimes and that was it. Again, we don’t realize it was trafficking. So that is my goal to educate law enforcement on what trafficking is.

Good thread and OP, as always.

- Here in the south, they go to cities of the interior of Santa Catarina, Rio Grande do Sul and Paraná, promise good jobs and force the girls to sell themselves, to pay the bills from their stay. It's quite common to police to bust prostibules here, and encounter underage girls and girls of legal age, forced at this, is slaving. Coercing is almost as rape.

I apreciete your imput, and thank you for the compliments!

Part of my talks include labor trafficking and how the undocumented illegal migrants are tricked into sneaking in for a good job. Their parents or family where they are from agree to put their house up as collateral until the debt of smuggling them is paid off. They get to their new, great job only to find out they are working for a few dollars/hour and the room and board/food costs almost their entire paycheck. They can’t report the issue because they have no documents and they are threatened and told their family will be harmed or lose their house.

I go to a conference next month on expunging the record of those that get arrested while being trafficked because they get charged for prostitution or dealing drugs while being forced to do so. This is an issue I am not completely sure how I feel about it. Yes, if someone is being trafficked and forced to do those things, they should have their record erased but how can you know whether they were forced or did it on their own? I think many will say they were forced simply because they got caught. I will check in after that conference-man, it is going to be a long day. Drive 4 hours to the conference, stay there for 8 hours or so, then drive home four hours.
