Sex Trafficking Skyrockets, Hookers Overrun L.A. Streets After Democrats Decriminalize Prostitution

Hundreds of sex workers have inundated the streets of Los Angeles’ red light district thanks to new laws passed by Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) earlier this year.

Hookers and sex trafficking is prevalent in South LA’s 40-block area of Figueroa Boulevard at all hours after Newsom passed the controversial Safer Streets for All Act in January, which decriminalized loitering with the intent to work as a prostitute.

“Before, this type of activity only happened at night where most citizens wouldn’t see it, but now it’s 24/7,” a source told the New York Post.

“Now you can drive by at 2 p.m. and see it. Families drive by and see 10 girls on the corner, condoms on the ground.”

🔥🚨BREAKING: LA has become a sex market that resembles the brazen prostitution in Thailand where women are selling theirselves in broad daylight.

“You go by the alleys and you see a guy in the middle of the alley and a woman performing [fellatio]. And a mom and her kids have to pass by that. It’s ridiculous, all in the open broad daylight. God only knows the impact it has on those kids who have to see this.”

Los Angeles Police Department sources claimed prostitutes will perform sex acts for as little as $40 and many sell their bodies for $160 or less at a time.

Other sex workers claimed they make up to $1,000 a night and have regular clients who fly them to exotic destinations.

As part of the Democrats’ new law, officers are no longer allowed to stop the women to offer them help, unless they look underage.

Police also says there’s inevitably been an “uptick” in sex trafficking victims.

From the New York Post:

Cmdr. Jon Pinto, assistant commander of the LAPD bureau where the red light district is located, told The Post about 95% of the women who are “working” have pimps, who are closely tied to street gangs. 

“Where we work in South Los Angeles, we’re not addressing sex workers where there is a voluntary exchange between two people,” Pinto said.

“What we are doing is addressing the human trafficking at the Figueroa corridor. There is a fear factor or coercion, and in the end, that pimp takes all of the money and she doesn’t get any money back. It’s been an ongoing problem for years, but the corridor has become an area where there’s been an uptick in trafficking victims.”

Pinto said officers on Thursday rescued a 14-year-old who was being trafficked by a pimp at the Figueroa Street corridor. 

The problem has become so bad that the city, the LAPD, the LA City Attorney’s Office, local nonprofits, the Department of Children and Family Services and the US Attorney’s Office have banded together and started a new program in September called the “Figueroa Initiative” to help victims of human trafficking.

The problem has also proliferated outside of Los Angeles, raising alarm bells with residents in adjacent neighborhoods.

“Police can’t literally go and talk to them because they don’t have a right to talk to them because they are not doing anything wrong…Even if they are going out talking to someone in their car and sitting there when all they are wearing is less than a G-string,” National City Mayor Ron Morrison told CBS 8 news.

8-minute video uploaded by JayWalkinTV last week shows the extent of the problem as emboldened sex workers interact with prowling johns in broad daylight on every street corner in the area.

This is just another example of how California has gone to hell in a hand basket with rising homelessness, violent crime, and energy prices thanks to absurd Democrat policies.
