• The producer of this show "Relativity Media" is also the producer of "Catfish" and "Gigolos". The people behind Kevin Brown, are the same people who were behind Annie Lobert. Annie Lobert was doing the same identical "scam" that is happening here only her show was being aired on Bravo - a sister network to A&E.

  When Annie was the "great white savior" reaching out only to straight female street walking prostitutes while telling the viewer that these were in fact "trafficking victims" (apples and oranges) also in the same manner - she was connected to Pastor Benny Perez who was also promoting fund raisers to open a "Destiny House" (who also only took straight female street prostitutes - not males, transgenders, lesbians, Jewish, etc.), they had claimed they were operating also.

  Behind them was also Exodus Cry, Salvation Army, Shared Hope, and Polaris. Also the same people behind the many frauds that have been trotted out since our work resulted in federal recognition for "real" victims in 2007 which would not have happened without the "Black Book" that Jeane gave us at the sacrifice of her life trying to verify not that street prostitutes were domestic trafficking victims - but that Americans were being trafficked by men within our own government through men like David Vitter and Randall Tobias.

  The only difference here is that they've replaced Annie with Kevin Brown and Benny's church with Step by Step Church so people think this is different on the surface. I had learned that the whole "Destiny House" was a scam and people were being defrauded out of a lot of money, as well as the show totally defrauding people about what "real" trafficking is (not street prostitution). I had managed to get Annie's show taken off the air after only one episode. These producers know there's a connection or they wouldn't be trying to conceal the fact that Annie's show aired on Bravo (A&E's sister network) on imdb.

  On Annie's show, they were also falsely claiming they were operating a "rescue" and "program" only the reality was that they were parading the women around and asking for money. Then giving them nothing - while the prostitute who was trusting in them was falling behind on their rent. Then when they got a 5 day notice - they would tell them to "pray". The prostitute would then ask around and find us. I was the one filing for the stays of evictions, then helping them to find work, medical, daycare, and offering our members' support for them - while they were dancing off with the money. Literally. Pastor Perez filed bankruptcy while keeping the money and Annie ran off to Africa until the scandal died down. I demanded they cover my expenses I incurred because of them scam - and they just blew me off. When I went to the NV US Attorney - they had no intention of doing anything to stop this scam because the press helped them to get federal funding - and also they got federal dollar matching. So the NV US Atty actually shielded them from an audit and/or any prosecution.

  When Kevin Brown's assistant called me last year - they tried to tell me that Kevin had been "rescuing" women for two years and that he had "success stories" who were helping him as advocates. I asked where a cop for 20 years got training in how to run a program - and got no answer. When I asked why he did nothing to help true trafficking victims who were being trafficked by cops in Los Angeles (such as the Chris Butler and Kemp Schifffer case to name only two) during the time he was a cop - I got no answer. When I asked why I wasn't hearing anything about his "outreach" from our incoming new members - I got no answer. When I asked how he was getting trafficking victims up to his hotel and bypassing the screening that traffickers use -I got no answer. When I asked to meet his so called "success stories" and to see his "house" where he was supposedly taking them to go through rehab - I got no answer. When I asked why he was calling me now after having been doing "rescues for two years" - instead of two years ago when he started doing rescue - that's when the guy just scurried away. I didn't hear a word about any of this until about two weeks ago.

  I was expecting the calls from those who had been promised the moon but delivered dirt, and the imitators, when the show aired. I wasn't expecting a call from this woman who told me the whole show was faked however. But because it sounded so much like what happened with Annie - I jumped in to help her when she called me on 4/20/15. She told me the show had been faked, and that they had targeted her for arrest after to try and hold deportation and jail time over her to keep her quiet. Now she told me she had the usual eviction notice, an upcoming prostitution hearing, and possibly a deportation to deal with.

  Having handled a lot of these types of calls by now - I told her I (1) would get her a stay filed the next day, (2) had a way to get her immunity from deportation possibly, (3) had her a job possibility that would keep her In the country, (4) could get an injunction filed to not have the next show aired she was worried would show her face without being blurred, (5) could probably get her monetary damages, and (6) had Sex Workers Anonymous meetings who lived in Houston who would come and offer emotional support while she walked through all of this. She thanked me and I went to bed exhausted because I'd been answering our hotline for 3 days straight because of calls from the show. I told her to fax or text me copies of her paperwork so I could get started first thing in the morning for her. She also gave me consent to discuss her case with anyone in order to get her help - but did not ask to become a SWA member.

  I woke early the next morning with her attorney calling me. That was strange because she told me she didn't have an attorney and needed money for one. The attorney who called was from the Sex Worker Project that's a free attorney service. I found this very strange as I didn't match her story. She could not have obtained an attorney that fast who had all of her papers. Because I asked where her papers were - and she said "get them from the attorney". But then just a few minutes later she said "I don't want you to help me". Okay - I dropped it and went about looking into getting an injunction against the show anyway.

  Why? I was getting people calling me imitating the show for one. Someone was going to get hurt. Also, these people behind Kevin were holding a fund raiser. If the show was fake - then they were being defrauded. Also, the show made it appear to have trafficking connected to Backpage. If the show was faked - then they were slamming BP that's published by the Village Voice - a LGBT publication. There are multiple lawsuits and Bills being written in multiple states - all trying to use Backpage as a means to silence our free speech and to listen in on our conversations without our consent. Plus - I'm honestly tired of these people dancing off with millions literally - while I'm left to do the actual work they're promising plus getting slammed for it in the process because they have to cover their ass. Just like the guy who rapes a girl at school and then when confronted says "oh that bitch is crazy".

  This woman calls me back pleading with me to "not say anything in the media" for fear she's going to be deported if I do. Then she has a dominatrix who I've never heard of set her up a fund raiser and who starts blasting her story all over social media Not SWOP, not Red Umbrella, nor Desiree Alliance - but some Dominatrix is helping her to raise money while thanking "current sex workers" on social media for their "support". Concerned she's going to screw up her court case and get herself in more trouble - I ask her if she's run this fund raiser by her attorney. Her response was to start lying and bashing me. That threw me. Then this dominatrix starts lying and bashing me also - instead of seeing how I can help her by partnering.

  I go to the fund raising site - and see it was a domain registered a year ago. That's strange so I look deeper. Then I see it's got an ad for a Bill that's about forcing shelters to admit prostitutes that don't want to admit them. That sounds like what the people behind Kevin Brown are pushing for. Because I'd just read how Exodus Cry and Polaris had been pushing for this. I ask this Dominatrix if she's talking to SWOP or her attorney about this fund raiser - and the bashing increases. Which doesn't sound like they're trying to help her. I threaten the dominatrix with a defamation lawsuit if she doesn't remove the lies off social media. Her response was to repeat them after changing her name. Not the actions of someone ethical. I realize no one as a real name on this thing. The smell of "catfish" is getting stronger.

  I then go to the site for CAASE who are more people connected with those that were behind Annie, and Somaly Mam, Rachel Moran, Chong Kim, and other frauds - and see a letter addressed to Tom has magically appeared in the last 2 days. Not only a letter - but there's 50 signatures. Only some of the people who supposedly signed the letter I know can't read. Not an insult - just fact. I then check out some of the names I don't recognize - and they're one page wordspread. The letter and signatures look extremely identical to others I'd seen Melissa write when she was pretending to be Stella Marr - an imaginary survivor.

  Then comes a call from a reporter for the Daily Dot. I speak to her about what happened - and she tells me the woman is from Russia. Funny - she told me she was from Brazil. I ask if she's seen anything that proves any of her claim - the contract, the arrest record, the eviction papers - and she says "no". She then tells me she thinks "Tara" and "DominaElle" are two separate people. I tell her that DominaElle had changed her name to Tara when I threatened to sue. I asked if he's spoken to Relativity Media to see if the woman was even one of the actors they used. She said "no". Funny how a woman so scared of media - is now talking to 1/2 dozen reporters. I then went and did some checking with the landlord tenant court and also the booking records search online and I didn't find a single thing that looked like hers under any foreign name. I then spoke to some of our SWA members out in Houston who told me they hadn't heard anything about her.

  I tell the reporter maybe she had better double check her facts - remember we're dealing with the producers of "catfish" who are catfishing us. Literally. Out of nowhere a woman appearing to be a 20 year old Latina starts telling me to "drop the case or she'll get deported". I notice she has Billy Graham on her wall? No 20 year old Latina has that - so I typed "catfish" on her wall. She then changed her name and put up an insulting cartoon. So it was a "catfish" literally.

  Then something else strange happens. I had taken a photo for the Review Journal that never got published. When the reporter insisted on the article running - he was fired in fact. The photo had my hair in a bun and black glasses. Suddenly, the dominatrix puts up a joke graphic of a woman with her hair in a bun and black glasses. There's no way a dominatrix in Colorado would have that kind of access. Then she calls me at midnight to try and scare me into not posting anymore? Why? She's posting. Why not me? Could it be that I'm pointing out this show is slanting people's view of Backpage - because I notice she's not saying anything about Backpage.

  Then the kicker. I had a trafficker send a guy in a big red truck after me to physically attack me last year in Vegas. I was saved by a security guard who appeared just in time. A big red truck pulls up in my driveway and then blocks my car in. Then a guy gets out and starts walking around my yard that does not have public access. Whoever it is realizes I'm home - and then he disappears. A million red trucks in the world - but not pulling into my private off road driveway and walking around my private yard.

  The reporter posts her article in the Dot - only she doesn't verify anything. She makes no mention of even our call - let alone I had offered to help the woman. Further, she lends her journalistic support to the fund raiser! She even noticed the woman's story was changing - yet she validates a fund raiser that might be fraudulent?

  I go back to the woman who is online saying she wants the show off the air. I ask if she wants to join me to have an injunction filed. No. I ask again for some proof she's real - and get nothing. Something very strange is going on here. I'm going to go to Relativity Media on Monday and ask if this woman was even on the show. I mean the show's producers are very clever. The show "Gigolo's" helped Heidi Fleiss generate millions of dollars in "investments" for her "male only brothel" even though as a felon she couldn't get a brothel license! One of the actors even told me they were nothing more than actors after I confronted him about why none of them seemed like any of the male hookers I knew.

  Whatever this is - it's going to be interesting!

  • Jesus Fucking Christ.

  • No one will ever read all that. Sometimes suicide is the best option

    • At least she finally found the Enter key on her keyboard. Improving at this rate, 15yrs from now, she may be a fully functioning human.

• The pattern is that these people are getting away with massive fraud at the expense of real sex workers, and also our basic human rights such as free speech, the 5th amendment, even our right to have a warrant before they put a tap on our phones, because no one wants to actually read anything anymore that's not 140 characters.

  I read. I have a brain. When people are pissing on my leg and telling me it's raining I know the difference and I'm going to tell them to stop pissing on my leg. Over and over again these people are sending out press that's a lie. All of the articles I've seen so far in connection with the show "8 Minutes" is a lie. I keep seeing politicians claiming they're writing bills to "help trafficking victims" only as a survivor, and head of a group of the largest number of survivors in this country, and the oldest, I read the bills. Not what the press tells me the bills are - but the bills. Why? Because I got fooled and deceived by men who were exploiting me for money back when I was in the industry and I left because I didn't want to do that anymore. The NV bill to supposedly help trafficking victims allows the police to listen in on your phone and oral conversations, and then to actually "fine" you for damages when no criminal case has been filed even. Do you know that means in English? It means a cop can come up to you and without having any case or report filed and no one even arrested he can demand any amount of money out of you he wants - that's what it means. READ IT. AB67.

  Same with *8 Minutes" and their portrayal of sex trafficking in Backpage. It doesn't exist. The show was completely staged. The reporters who aren't writing about it being staged or about the way the show is slamming Backpage are telling me they aren't because they're too scared too. There are multiple lawsuits and Bills being written right now in multiple states that this fraud trying to make appear that Backpage has this imaginary trafficking going on in it isn't just going to shut down Backpage. It's going to shut down any media that these people want shut down - which is exactly how Hitler got control over the press.

  Which means they can come and shut down this blog legally. They can shut down anything they want that has anything to do with sex, or what they deem to be about sex, and throw the publishers in jail.

  Sean - you have made repeated snarks at me about "killing myself". There are three women behind David Vitter who have been found dead supposedly of suicide by being found hung in their homes, or a jail cell, or their mother's back yard. Members of Sex Workers Anonymous across the USA right now are being threatened with things like gas cans being left at their front door. Last night someone came knocking at my door and when I refused to answer the door discharge a gun into the air before leaving the premises.

  Your threats have been screenshot and sent to other people in case anything happens to me. They are not funny nor a joke when people connected to this issue have been found dead. The producers behind the show "8 Minutes" are trying to convince America that prostitution and trafficking are the same thing. They are doing this because people know trafficking is real - the question now is "what is it?". Its not single mothers trying to feed their kid by doing bj's off Backpage ads. It's connected to men who are in our government and law enforcement - the fact of which is being hidden by shows like "8 Minutes". Then people like Jeane Palfrey who came forward with proof of our own government's connection with trafficking, not prostitution, not porn, but trafficking, was found murdered before she could release more names from her black book. Gary Webb, a reporter who revealed the truth about Iran Contra being that it was our CIA bringing the cocaine into this country, was found dead by supposedly shooting himself in the head twice with a shot gun. Coroners say that is physically impossible.

  So Sean your jokes about "killing myself" are in very bad taste. The push of the rumors that I'm crazy, combined with your comments about killing myself, are clearly so that if I'm found dead all of the media will be "oh she killed herself - she was crazy you know". I've been examined regularly by psychiatrists who state I am not crazy and I do that just so there is black and white proof that I am not. I have a sick daughter with a brain tumor who depends on me for her very care daily. There is no way I'm going to kill myself. I have someone with me at all times which is probably why I found a bomb in our vehicle last year. I had the mechanics who told me about the bomb make a statement to the police about it being placed there by someone who wanted to make it appear to be an "accident". Which is why my current vehicle is placed in a location where I can now keep an eye on it at all times so that won't happen again. I not only will never kill myself - but know this. I am legally armed and anyone who tries to come through the door of my house will be dealt with as an intruder. I have checked the laws in the state where I live and I am legally allowed to discharge this weapon at anyone who comes into my home. The trail of dead sex workers is not funny Sean - so either your joke is just in very bad taste by someone who isn't intelligent enough to grasp what the real issue is here or it is a veiled threat.

  If I responded to people threatening me, saying I was crazy, or being angry, by silencing the truth I'm trying to get out to the public on behalf of sex workers who are too scared to do so themselves - then I would have shut up back in 1987 when people were saying that sex trafficking didn't exist anymore. Well now people know it's real - and now there's a campaign to try and control the very definition of that fact. Which is not prostitution. It's not someone who has a husband the law deems a pimp nor a driver that TV shows like "8 Minutes" want to call a pimp. Sex trafficking involves men in law enforcement and politicians and our government. Men like Kevin Brown who admits he was in law enforcement for 20 years in California where all trafficking here is being controlled and done by law enforcement (check Chris Butler's case if you don't understand what I mean by that because he was the kind of man I was helping women get away from before he was arrested) - who suddenly now wants to go on TV and stage a fake show to try and get people to think it's pimps who are traffickers - not his own law enforcement buddies or even himself. If Kevin Brown as an ex-cop wanted to truly help sex trafficking victims - he would not have staged this whole hoax. He would have exposed his own cronies. But he can't because they can't. When two cops tried to bring charges against Paul Tanaka - their witness "disappeared" into the jail for three days. When the FBI agent who was trying to investigate the case flew to CA to find the witness - two cops went to her home and threatened to arrest her and put her into the very system they'd just disappeared the witness into. The US Attorney on the case was made a judge, Paul Tanaka is now governor of Gardena. And then a show appears on A&E that is trying to convince America that "trafficking" is poor Hispanic women placing ads on Backpage?

  Stop pissing on my leg and telling me it's raining. And stop trying to tell everyone that Jody is crazy - and then send armed men to her door or put bombs in her car so you can then avoid an investigation into her death by saying "oh she was crazy". Just like everyone tried to say Buffalo Jim died of a cocaine overdose. The toxicology report showed he had enough GHB in his system to kill ten men - not a recreational drug. But there was video of a hooker and him checking into a hotel room before his death. The reason for that is because he was helping hookers to get away from men like Rick Rizzolo. A man who was jailed for putting GHB into the customers of the Crazy Horse Strip club into their drink, and then maxing out their credit cards. When the customer would go to the police about it - they encountered men like Doug Gillespie who has stepped down because of corruption charges. When they went to the DA - they got David Shubert who now also is supposedly dead from a drug overdose. There was no Internal Affairs in Nevada during this time because of "budget cuts". I hope Buffalo Jim would put hookers into hotel rooms and talk to them until they calmed down because we did that together for years to help women get away from this gang of traffickers who wear badges such as connected to Chris Butler. Who the only way he was finally arrested was because we got a reporter to listen to the information. Only now we are not getting reporters to listen to the story about what's going on currently because of men like Kevin Brown, who say they were ex-cops and that "trafficking" is prostitutes advertising on Backpage as a distraction from the truth - worthy of Houdini.

  Sex trafficking currently in states like Nevada and California that I've witnessed with my eyes are not advertising on Backpage. They are operating out of massage parlors, strip clubs, and other locations that are not advertising for sex on BP. That is a distraction from the truth. Going around telling reporters that I'm trying to get to write about the truth that I'm just "crazy" isn't going to work- especially now we have women who were in the show admitting that the show was staged.

  Nor is it going to keep up that others in law enforcement and politics won't listen to me about a current ring of traffickers that is using women in these massage parlors that are being trafficked by cops, attorney's, etc. on the basis of rumor spreading that I'm "crazy" because of not only proof we have, witnesses they are trying to silence with threats, and other such distractions because I'm not going to shut up. I haven't shut up since 1987, and I'm not going to be found "hung" somewhere or overdosed somewhere. I have a report from reputable psychiatrists that I'm mentally sound - and all your attempt to keep calling people up to tell them "oh Jody - she's just crazy" are becoming so loud and predictable that you're just making my case for me. Especially now we have the man who came to my door and shot off a gun into the air when I refused to answer the door on tape. My home has signs on them in clear view that I'm videotaping 24/7. One is not "paranoid" when they are coming after you. And when people appear on tape.

  So you might want to rethink those cracks about suicide Sean. They aren't funny. And yes people are reading my posts because some people have a brain and resent people pissing on their legs also.

  • Jody, your two comments on this post run nearly 4,500 words together.

    Your run here has ended. I will not be approving any more of your long, rambling comments. You clearly have mental issues and I personally feel you should seek some help. Ta ta.

  • Snarks? Look. I'm not saying I want you dead. I'm just saying you shouldn't be alive anymore. I'm much to busy to kill you myself what with the NFL season right around the corner as well as me managing me fantasy baseball teams. So don't worry about me. With that being said, I have no control over what Juan Jesus Gomez does.

  • Are we talking white girls in the massage parlors or Koreans? I love me some rub and tug Koreans, especially the ones that eat your ass after scrubbing it clean during the table shower. And bonus points if they know 10 words or less of Engrish.
