Houston Escorts In The Media

… It’s nice and warm in here,” Mike Pattison, the family patriarch, told the students. “But this is where Apolo and J.R. learned how to skate.”
The Pattisons traveled to Vancouver to watch the two Olympians they helped produce. They paid $1,200 for four tickets and sat in the front row, the best seats in the house.
At that moment, the memories flooded back. Like a teenage Ohno break-dancing between skating sessions, performing his patented windmill. Or Celski rolling past adults at age 3, his skates and body nearly equal in size.
“Everything started there,” said Yuki Ohno, Apolo’s father. “That was the beginning.”
Pattison’s West sits on the Pacific Highway near a massage parlor, a storage facility and a chiropractor. The sign out front advertised this week’s adult R&B night.

Tighter restrictions on massage parlors in Bibb County could force them to move south to Houston County. That’s according to Nicole Poss with HODAC and some Houston County law enforcement agencies.
Poss says the businesses often carry ties to the human trafficking trade, and they want the community to recognize the signs, before it becomes a problem.
Pam Floyd at Harvest Church says hearing about human trafficking close to home sparked an idea for ministry. She said, You think it’s somewhere else in the world, and you think it’s so far away from home.”
…
Nicole Poss at HODAC says the trade includes selling underage girls for sex, forcing foreign women into domestic servitude, and often ties into illegal activities in massage parlors. That’s why part of their focus includes keeping the spas out of Houston County.

In the last two decades Richmond has become Vancouver’s new Chinatown, home to the second-biggest Asian community in North America; Asian Canadians now make up about 60% of Richmond’s population.
Stepping into one of Richmond’s shopping malls is a quick trip to the contemporary Orient. Yaohan Centre has a giant pan-Asian supermarket, and Aberdeen Centre is classic, over-the-top Hong Kong, right down to a showy multimedia water-fountain production in the foyer.
There are Sikh temples, the biggest Buddhist temple in North America, Chinese foot massage parlors and herb shops, but I go to Richmond to eat, especially at the Richmond Night Market, open weekends throughout the summer. You can smell the spicy lamb kebabs and sautéed noodles long before you reach the maze of 300 stalls lighted by strings of lights and hazed in plumes of smoke from grilled squid and prawns.

The Panties Pool You’ve seen those office pools they do for football games, right? It’s a grid of boxes, with 0-9 going down and 0-9 going across. Then people write their names inside the boxes and then one set of numbers is for one team, and one is for the other. So, say, at the end of the first quarter, the score is 10 – 7, the Saints, then you would go to that square, and that person would win. You can do the same. But instead of putting in names in the squares, you put SEX ACTS. So, whoever wins, REALLY wins. And it’s up to you to be as nice or as naughty as you want.
You can have the prizes be anything your little heart desires. From kissing to an erotic massage, he owes you oral sex. From you wearing THAT school girl outfit, to him doing THAT dance he does naked. (Um, whatever you two do…)

HOUSTON—Business is booming along FM 1960, but not all of it is legal.
11 News recently tagged along with undercover investigators from the Precinct 4 Harris County Constables Regulatory Enforcement Unit on a crackdown against illegal massage spas in the area.
“They’re tucked back from retail centers, away from the immediate view of 1960,” Constable Ron Hickman said.
The investigators were looking for state-issued operating licenses and massage therapists’ licenses.
In Texas, you have to have them, but the owner of New Asia Massage gave only excuses.
“I don’t know English,” the owner told investigators.
…
Turns out, there are plenty of spas and massage parlors in Houston.

HOUSTON – Business leaders are teaming with law enforcement to fight the epidemic of sex slavery in the 1960 area of northwest Harris County.
Dozens of sex parlors started opening in the area about two years ago after tighter regulations forced them from the Houston city limits.
Wednesday the executive director of a local ministry told business owners that the women who work in the parlors were sold into slavery by their families overseas.
Dennis Mark of Redeemer Ministries said “Women in these establishments are not there because they enjoy having sex with 15 or 16 strangers a day.”
The Precinct Four Constable’s office raided and closed down some of the parlors.

Let’s begin this conversation with some reality that is not so easily spoken about in open crowds: Sex Sells. In Texas, there is a common phrase that  ”Everything is Bigger” and it is this phrase that captures the sex industry in Houston. The poll I articled over a week ago will shed some light on what habits consume our money. There are various ways to spend your money on sex in Houston: Adult Video Stores, Illegal Prostitution Houses (disguised as massage parlors), or Adult Entertainment Clubs. 
Honestly we all have something we spend a little too much money on, so this is far from an attempt to judge those that spend their cash on sex. This is more of an opportunity to see what is out there and draw attention to the industry that may be enabling you to not reach your financial potential.

MUSKOGEE, OK — Muskogee Police tell The News On 6, 35-year-old Ronnie Presley has been arrested in Muskogee.    Earlier this week, federal prosecutors charged Presley in one of the country’s largest human sex-trafficking cases.  Tulsa-area advocates say the arrest of sex ring suspect Ronnie Presley is a reminder that child sex trafficking is real.  And, it’s happening in our backyard.
A Tulsa couple is saying enough is enough and they’re rallying thousands to join their cause.
“These defendants are charged with effectively turning 16 and 17-year-old children into indentured sex slaves,” said U.S. Attorney Tim Johnson.
And, the man accused of selling sex with teenagers in Houston modeling studios and massage parlors was arrested in Oklahoma.
