Free the Captives, a Houston based Christian non-profit, does it all. Having long been involved in education and counseling for at-risk teenagers and potential pimps, Free the Captives is also active in trying to go after suppliers and buyers in the human trafficking market.
…
“It does not matter how many pimps and landlords there are if the buyers are still willing to pay and there is money to be made,” said the anonymous source, “other pimps and landlords will pop up. You can’t stem the tide without going after the source.” For their part, the Mayor’s Office and the Houston Police Department believe that human trafficking is a major problem and are sincere in enforcing existing laws. In a letter from 2010, Mayor Annise Parker acknowledged the growing problem and said, “Houston is a hub for Human Trafficking where approximately twenty percent of all human trafficking victims will pass through our city at some point of their enslavement.” The Mayor’s Office recently reiterated the importance of fighting human tra …

According to court papers, the 34-year-old mom confessed to her sister:
“I can’t believe I did that to my daughter. I am a monster.”

“For almost two months on an almost daily basis, the mother forced the 14-year-old child to engage in sex,” said Donna Hawkins, Harris County Assistant District Attorney.

Houston Escorts: Pick the Astros’ New Name!

Here’s a novel concept. During the off season, hold a contest for the fans. Allow them to submit suggestions and vote for the new name and logo of the team. The winner gets season tickets and free food (but not beer! Crane has to make his money somewhere!) and the fans have the extra spice of seeing a scenery change every season. The marketing possibilities are limitless.
The Houston Minute Maids:
Speaking of marketing possibilities, here’s a name that will help the Astros pay down the debt sooner. Simply pimp the team’s dignity out to the highest bidder, name the club after that company (or individual), and pay off the debt to make them competitive faster. Other clubs will be jealous, though the the players would have to put up with a bit more playground name-calling on game day. Other options along this line: The Houston Continental-Uniteds, the Houston Halliburtons, the Houston Mattress Macks, or the Houston Memorial Hermann Healthcare Systems (though this would likely end their affiliation with the Methodist Hospital system, but hey – bring in the new, right?).

Houston Adult Entertainment: Police Say Man Pimped 12-Year-Old Girl

houstonsexnews — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 09:13:19 +0000

Oncken said the girl told officers she was a prostitute and that she was only 12 years old.
“It’s my understanding that the complainant, on the same night when she was in the vehicle, indicated that she had a pimp and she identified him by a nickname, so the officers were able to figure out his identity and he was charged with compelling prostitution. His name is Lance Laura.”
Oncken said the girl had been a runaway for quite some time. She is now in Child Protective Services’ custody.
Meanwhile, Maria Trujillo, with Houston Rescue and Restore Coalition, told me there are many reasons why vulnerable children fall into sex trafficking. Runaway and throwaway kids, a broken family and harsh economic times are just some of those factors.
A startling statistic: One in three children is lured into prostitution within the first 48 hours of running away, and it’s usually through seduction.

Houston Adult Entertainment: The Rape of Lucretia throws a challenging, controversial test at the Houston …

The Rape of Lucretia throws a challenging, controversial test at the Houston Grand Opera
We love to watch a fallen woman fall. What about a rape? A suicide?
Challenges abound with Houston Grand Opera’s ambitious new production of Benjamin Britten’s 1946 The Rape of Lucretia, which follows hard upon the heels of the company’s masterfully performed La Traviata by Giuseppe Verdi. The Rape of Lucretia runs Friday through Feb. 11 at the Wortham Theater Center.
Where La Traviata tells the tale of a courtesan reformed by love who tragically succumbs to social disapproval and consumption, The Rape of Lucretia tells of the sexual violation and suicide of the virtuous Lucretia. The political consequences of this act signaled the end of monarchical tyranny and the birth of the Roman republic.
It could be very interesting to see HGO tackle more directly controversial social issues. One wonders if this will be the trend under Summers.

The trafficker beat Jakadrien and threatened to hurt her family, she said. … Once in jail, she said she tried to tell Houston police she was really Jakadrien Turner, but they did not believe her. “It’s like the story of the boy that cried wolf. I’ve lied multiple times before; I’ve never been honest; I’ve made a lot of stories up; I made the name up ‘Tika Cortez,’” she said. “But at a certain point I just gave up because I said it multiple times: ‘I’m Jakadrien Turner, I’m 15 years old, and why am I here?’”
The girl’s family told CNN a slightly different story, and said she is three months pregnant. But the family agrees she never set out to fool authorities:
“Tika Cortez” was Jakadrien’s new “street name.” Her family says she was lured to Houston and forced into prostitution by three adult men. She was scared and trying to get away when she stole clothes from a mall to pay for a bus ticket home. She was arrested and the family suspects mall employees knew her as Tika and gave police the name.
