April 29, 2010 at 10:13 am | In San Diego escorts | No Comments

On the evening of August 11, 2001, Sandra C. was “out walking making some money” as a prostitute. Sandra C., who was 37 at the time of the present trial, had been working as a prostitute since she was 14 years old. That evening she was working at the intersection of Figueroa and Manchester.

Sandra C. estimated that she had been arrested for prostitution 19 times. She had never before claimed that she had been raped. She did not lie about the fact that she is a prostitute. Sandra C. had two other felony convictions: a 1995 conviction for theft and a 2004 conviction for possession of drugs for sale.

4. Although Figueroa and Flower Streets are known as places where prostitution is rampant, Schwab had never seen a prostitute who was completely naked. He had “never had that happen before, and [he had not] had that happen since.”

San Diego Adult Entertainment: Illegal immigrants plan to leave over Ariz. law

April 28, 2010 at 10:25 pm | In San Diego adult entertainment | No Comments

… We want to drive day labor away,” says Republican Rep. John Kavanagh, one of the law’s sponsors.
An estimated 100,000 illegal immigrants have left Arizona in the past two years as it cracked down on illegal immigration and its economy was especially hard hit by the Great Recession. A Department of Homeland Security report on illegal immigrants estimates Arizona’s illegal immigrant population peaked in 2008 at 560,000, and a year later dipped to 460,000.
The law’s supporters hope the departure of illegal immigrants will help dismantle part of the underground economy here and create jobs for thousands of legal residents in a state with a 9.6 percent unemployment rate.
Kavanagh says day labor is generally off the books, and that deprives the state of much-needed tax dollars. “We’ll never eliminate it, just like laws against street prostitution,” he says. “But we can greatly reduce the prevalence.”

San Diego Escorts: TJ prostitutes pose health threat to U.S. clients

April 28, 2010 at 7:49 pm | In San Diego escorts | No Comments

Two thirds of the prostitutes in Tijuana have clients from the United States, and those women frequently share drug injection needles, spreading syphilis and threatening widespread AIDS transmission, UC San Diego researchers said in a report published Wednesday.
The study, which appears online in the journal Addiction, tested over 900 women in the sex trade for sexually transmitted diseases and determined their drug use, condom use and customer habits.
UCSD researchers examined sex workers in Tijuana and Ciudad Juarez, two border cities along along major drug trafficking routes that have large “red light zones” where prostitution is legal, attracting some men from the U.S.
The woman who did not have HIV, but who tested positive for active syphilis, were more likely than other women to inject drugs and share needles, the study found.

San Diego Adult Entertainment: The Good, the Bad, and the Misguided

April 28, 2010 at 3:01 pm | In San Diego adult entertainment | No Comments

True, this isn’t the first draconian immigration legislation passed by a
state that is also moving to demand future presidential candidates
provide documentation that they were born in the U.S., but it is
certainly the most hateful in that, if passed, it will put police
officers in the position of immigration officials, a concept that has
legal precedent thanks to the USA Patriot Act.
For the better part of two and half centuries, immigration
policies have been regulated by the federal government, and not by the
states. Surely, the president can find more potent language with which
to denounce legalizing profiling by skin color, and under the guise of
“questioning,” one that enables authorities to harass with the objective
of deporting those who lack requisite documentation.
Consider that from 1769 through 1882 according to a Smithsonian
Institution exhibit, the U.S. excluded only convicts, prostitutes,
idiots, and lunatics. From 1882-1943, Chinese were not allowed to
immigrate. It wasn’t until 1885 that U.S. immigration mandated that
there be “no gangs of cheap laborers,” according to a Smithsonian
Institution exhibit, and this latest Arizona law seems to reflect a
mindset we haven’t seen since 1885.
