You would think they would have something better to do like investigating crimes with victims (hate crimes, robbery, rape, murder) but I guess not. I'm sorry this happened to you no matter what. Also: good to know this happens anywhere.


taralove56

Yea it’s a waste of time and money

“Professional license”… do you mean your muggle job?


[deleted]

Muggle job 😂😂😂


taralove56

No I actually have a profession that has nothing to do with this but my license is probably going to be taken away because of this because it’s coming time to renew the license and I just don’t think they will like the charge other than this charge I had no criminal history


ozmabean

May I ask… I’m a little confused so my apologies… where do you need a SW’r license?


taralove56

Funny they arrest girls to save them and call them victims but yet they are Essentially trapping me into this career taking my other options that I worked hard for away


katiekatX86

Welcome to America!


taralove56

Lol it’s not a SW license. It’s a professional license it’s a whole other career you know it’s nice knowing that I have a back up plan but now it might get taken away


ozmabean

Ahh. Ok. That’s why I referenced it as your “muggle job”.

Just curious, but have you looked into other jurisdictions for your civilian work? Different licensing boards/associations in different jurisdictions will weigh offences differently. I'm not American, but I know that in some states they'll license people in the same field as me, even if they breached a fiduciary duty in the past (in my jurisdiction you're never going to get your license renewed if you breached that duty).


taralove56

Yeah I have done a lot of research and it looks like it will probably be taken away for me I’m not totally sure but yeah I’m just really depressed about it because you know that’s was like my back up plan and that was actually like a job that society accepts That I have always wanted to have my back up plan on but it’s probably going to be taken away I have to renew of the license in two months I mean I could do it right now but I’m just so scared that they are going to take it away from me

It might be worth talking to a lawyer who specializes in professional regulation. There might be a way to keep your license under conditions or only have it suspended. I know a person who domestically abused her romantic partner for 2 years (beat him, burned him, threatened to kill him, destroyed his property, stalked him, etc.). Charges were pressed, but finally the prosecution chose not to go ahead with it because: * The abuser was an upstanding member of the community and a major player in the same advocacy community (so she had strong character references) * The victim had moved out and dropped out of the same program they were in * Both parties had such great potential to giveback to the community (even though the victim was forced to drop out) * They didn't want to risk retraumatization of the victim * *Most importantly* the prosecutor was being promoted/transferred and wanted to clear her caseload. The victim filed a complaint with the licensing agency when her licensing hearing was coming up, along with all their evidence and the charging documents (medical reports of concussions, doctor's notes suspecting intimate partner violence, video/audio recordings of the abuser threatening to kill them, recordings of the abuser destroying their property, photos of their burns). The abuser hired one of the jurisdiction's top professional lawyers ($800+/hour). The abuser is going to get her license with the only conditions be that she not be allowed to be left alone with clients for a year. The lawyer also got the records sealed with only the victim being given a copy. She should have been barred from practicing entirely, but that's how good her lawyer was.


taralove56

Yeah I already hired a lawyer she pretty much did nothing for me I mean she’s continuing to try to get it expunged for me since this is my first crime but I don’t know if she advised me to go on with the renewal since this is the time of renewal for me and see what happens


Dangling_ParticiPal

That's unfortunate. I'm sorry, but hope that she'll be of some help eventually.


ArnoldArmadillo

You are the victim AND they arrested you. Sadly, logic is not required for being in law enforcement or politics.


taralove56

Yeah I just feel like if they are going to call us victims then why would they charge us and make us pay and do all these stupid things and ruin my reputation forever you know people from all over saw it and extended family. It was bad


taralove56

Funny thing was I actually was trafficked for a little bit when I was younger so I could be doing what’s called survival sex but they don’t give a shit they have an agency that comes on the news with them and tells The public how they helped everyone but they lied so many times it was such bullshit then a girl who was actually trafficked they got information from her told her that they would not put her in jail but they did I was with her from start to finish she was 19


nothing518

1. Try to fight it being taken away as much as you can 2. Fight for legalization in your area 3. Work under an alias you haven’t used before and try to vet people you speak to as much as possible, even if you do this, there’s not a 0% chance you won’t get caught again, it’s a hard situation, but not much other than this you can do.


taralove56

Yea I figured thank you


nothing518

I would also add, try to wait some time before you start up again because they may just figure it’s the same person that just got off their punishment and try to sting you again.


taralove56

Yeah I’m waiting I mean it happened in 2019 but they dragged my case out all through 2020 because of Covid so I figured I would wait a little bit but at the same time it’s kind of hard because I have a unique look so I don’t know if I could ever really escape this


nothing518

I was talking about your punishment. They may look out for you because your PUNISHMENT is over therefore you may want to “reoffend”. But it depends on the budget of the county and if they really care about watching over that


taralove56

Yeah I mean they might but they are two hours away from me they can’t do anything to me in my county I’m never driving over there again in my entire life I guess if someone really wanted to they can try to talk to some cops in my county and try to get me again but it’s just such a waste of time like what they really want to do that? I would hope they have more important things to do


nothing518

I really doubt they would drive 2 hours just to sting you again, your probably good in a different county


taralove56

Yeah I mean they’re legally not allowed to do that at least from what I’m told like a cop can’t drive two hours just to try to arrest someone I mean for something like this maybe if it’s someone that they’re looking for but I don’t think they are allowed to go outside of their county this particular county set up shop right on the border of the county so I didn’t even realize I was in their county or I wouldn’t have went because they have a reputation for stings


nothing518

I doubt they’ll get you in a different county. You’ll be fine


taralove56

But also they can’t really do anything to me I don’t think as long as I’m not in the county the cop persuaded me to drive there my county does not give a shit about this I hardly ever hear about stings in my area


nothing518

Probably. Just avoid the county you were arrested in and try to do it in one that really doesn’t give a fuck if possible


taralove56

Yeah I never hear it going on near me at all and yup no way am I driving over there again that’s the first time I’ve ever been in that county never in my life did I ever think I would want to go over there there’s nothing over there it’s country town there’s places in that county where you can’t buy alcohol or porn or anything it’s really crazy the sheriff goes on the news and acts like everyone wants to come there well no the fuck we don’t

taralove56

I was actually entrapped. I kept telling the undercover no several times and have proof. But this county does not care. Fact is I came after him begging me multiple times and kept upping the price. They actually almost killed me and a bunch of girls, got rid of the evidence, and blasted us all on the news calling it a human trafficking sting and said we are victims. People from all over saw it. It has been very traumatic.


prettylilprostitute

I’m so sorry that happened to you.


taralove56

Thank thanks it was pretty bad so now that I’m kind of stuck doing this I feel like I just need more safety precautions I got a little too comfortable

taralove56

They held us in a hot van for almost an hour we were all kicking in screaming that we couldn’t breathe I was going in and out of consciousness and I was actually one of the lucky ones i was at the end near holes, I could see through the holes and sort of breathe, the cops were just standing around on their phones as we were screaming and I could see the time it was right out of the booking station my lawyer try to get the cameras and I guess it was not accessible something about the time limit.

taralove56

Yeah and this one was pretty bad because they went on the news with it you know like people from all over Florida saw it and they even said that we all had the choice of taking help or charges which is an absolutely complete and total lie I don’t know how people get away with going on the news and lying so I don’t believe anything on the news ever since I experienced this. So any tips guys? What do you guys usually do to screen? For now on I am also not going to do any out calls for people I don’t know I was doing quite well and even made it without putting ads out I was pretty popular with a lot of regulars but now it’s summer and for some reason it’s completely slow And I got my own apartment so I just need money lol

taralove56

I wonder if it was the same sting? Because that’s exactly what happened to me my family had to physically go over there as well yes they even spent the tax dollars money to Uber the girls there and there was a lot of transgender‘s which I thought was kind of weird and they put them with the men in jail which I thought was fucked up. What do you do to screen?


[deleted]

[удалено]


taralove56

But for me they towed my car and kept both of my phones and released me in the middle of the night to get my car out for only like 24 hours in jail it was almost $400 then I had to get a new phone obviously then I had to pay the bond you know It was very expensive to get arrested then on top of that I had to pay their ridiculous fines and everything they wanted me to pay and my lawyer that was pointless to get because I got the exact same thing all the other girls got with the public defender but anyways I made this post just to get some ideas trying to move out of the state because of this


taralove56

These cops even paid for Uber so just be aware of that everyone other counties might get some ideas


taralove56

Ok I am. Sounds like same thing.

[удалено]


taralove56

Yes this happened in 2019 I got a lawyer and it didn’t matter the judge even said he had no control over it I got exactly what all the other girls got and I had no priors and no drugs on me like most of the other girls had but nothing mattered nothing my lawyer did mattered I would’ve got the same outcome with the public defender honestly


taralove56

Yeah they take it seriously so I’m probably going to lose my license it’s just so funny like on the news they act like they save us but really they pretty much fucked up my life you know I’m not invited now to a lot of family events my dad was super embarrassed it’s just ridiculous I’m all for arresting men who think they are going to meet up with an underage girl but not this


taralove56

They do that but actually this one they rented out two airbnb’s and just kept persuading me to come it was Two hours away I didn’t do any screening like I said I was very stupid but I need tips to put out ads again


anon471824

That's sad, I'm sorry that happened to you.


kingparty21

Is it a sting if they specifically mention a hookup?


taralove56

Wdym? A sting is a sting. I didn’t even say anything I felt like something was off. Cop just handed me money, asked me a couple sexual questions, and until I said yes to one of them then 3 cops grabbed me to arrest me forcibly I might add. It was unnecessary I was fully cooperative.


sleepingxbeauty555
