Dear Friends:
Here is some more good news. One doesn't often see articles like this--reporting on the arrests of men caught soliciting for sex. Remember this type of law enforcement is vital for creating decent community standards, creating behavior change in men thereby curbing demand in the commercial sex industry (essential for reducing/eradicating sexual trafficking).
Question: What is law enforcement in your community doing on this issue? Perhaps you need to request that they follow the lead of police in Wasilla and Palmer, Alaska.
Also, note the age ranges of the men arrested: sadly young and old alike are in the "market."
Abolition!

By Frontiersman staff
PALMER — A prostitution sting operation last week landed 10 alleged johns in jail, police announced this morning.
According to a press release, the Palmer Police Department teamed up with the Wasilla Police Department on Tuesday and Wednesday of last week in a joint investigation of prostitution in the Valley. Arrested for soliciting prostitution were:
Steven A. Brown, 58, of Wasilla; Carl D. Cook, 44, of Anchorage; Jeremy Firth, 30, of Wasilla; Tyler Henslee, 31, of Anchorage; Gregory S. Hutchins, 50, of Wasilla; Scottie R. Mack, 27, of Wasilla; Gregory C. Ray, 42, of Palmer; Christopher J. Schoff, 46, of Eagle River; Christopher Seeley, 31, of Palmer; and Vitaly Zhuchkov, 18, of Wasilla.
Detective Sgt. Kelly Turney with the Palmer Police Department said the operation was set up using an online account. The johns agreed to meet for a rendezvous, set up a specific price for a specific service and were arrested.
Asked if prostitution was a problem in the Valley, he replied, "by the number of phone calls that we received in a two-day period, I'd say it's a problem."
