Three individuals have been arrested on charges of operating a “high-end brothel network” in Massachusetts and Virginia with a clientele that included elected officials, military officers and government contractors with security clearances, the Justice Department announced Wednesday.
I really don’t understand the way the US works in regards to „bought“ sex… on the one hand prostitution is illegal (with the exception of Las Vegas parts of Nevada) and as soon as you point a camera on the paid fucking it is called PORN and it is still a multi billion dollar industry.
Illegal income is taxed, technically, but paying that tax would also basically be a confession. That’s how they got mobsters back in the day. So there ends up not being any when you’re right and there absolutely could be good tax revenue there
Hell, it’s not federally banned, so it’s just states not being willing.
They were not expelled from anywhere. They wanted to impose their religious doctrine on everyone else but every government keep telling them to fuck off.
It’s easy to get confused because a lot of people who left England did so because they had no other prospects or no other choice, in the case of criminals or financial delinquents.
Reading up on the founding of the US is a doozy. Essentially, all the rejects of England sailed to the ‘New World’ because there was more opportunity for them there than at home.
The Puritans were a small sect, just looking for the religious freedom to punish the best majority of people who didn’t believe the Puritans’ theology. Their notion of “religious freedom” is similar to the U.S. Catholic bishops’ notion. It’s a violation of religious freedom when people can make their own choices, and don’t have to obey a hierarchy.
Like 90% of OF “fan meets” are filmed fucks because it’s actually prostitution. Pretty sad they can’t be honest because some people had weir hangups hundreds of years ago
What’s weird is that loophole exists and people don’t abuse it.
Like, I get the streetwalkers selling $10 BJs dont, but for “high end” organizations like this, just stick an old school camcorder in the room and let the John keep whatever grainy unidentifiable footage they make during the encounter.
If you’re ever investigated, you’re in the clear. If not, then no one even has to know.
Nah. A group tried this in Pensacola and got busted. Can’t remember the details, but they were trying to pass prostitution off as pr0n because camera. Didn’t fly.
Maybe not as simple as “film it and you’re good”, but an entire ‘studio’ (GDP) was relatively recently shut down because they told the women it wouldn’t be seen by anyone (a lie), and many of the women felt assaulted afterwards. Besides just for money, I am positive that the ‘producers’ for this were using the porn loophole to rape these women. On top of that, there are plenty of other ‘studios’ that are all about hiring escorts and filming the encounter.
It’s very much a loophole that is abused. Whether or not the people who are responsible are caught, that’s another story.
The only thing that can help with this is legalizing and regulating sex work so that people involved don’t have to (and in many cases, cannot) do it completely in the shadows anymore.
It’s called the “First Amendment,” and you’ll find it can be used to justify/unjustify all sorts of things depending on the current government in power.

Edit: changed the Las Vegas part
Prostitution isn’t legal in Vegas. Parts of Nevada yes, but in Clark county where Las Vegas is located prostitution is illegal.
That’s more insane than what the original comment pointed out.
It’s very bizarre. Kinda shocking the gov’t hasn’t figured out the massive amount of tax revenue behind the legalization of sex workers.
Works in other countries at least. Here in Germany they just pay income tax, like everyone else. Actually they are freelancers usually…
On the other hand, Germany is still a bit backwards regarding cannabis legalization… but we are working on it.

It started a few centuries ago when this annoying group of people known as Puritans were expelled from their home country and sailed to north America.
The natives saved them from starvation and today still impose their beliefs and values on everybody. These hypocritical laws is but one example
They were not expelled from anywhere. They wanted to impose their religious doctrine on everyone else but every government keep telling them to fuck off.
I don’t believe they were expelled?
I might be wrong…

The ones who had it good stayed in England.

Basically all the founders and settlers were groups who were too weird for Europe lol
There are porn producers who do such a crappy job that I’d swear they only film so they have legal access to prostitution.

Go on any hookup app or site and you’ll see plenty of “content creators” willing to meet up and “make content.”

I bet employment fraud would have a bigger jail sentence than prostitution.

Not las Vegas, rural parts of Nevada
