I've never understood the human trafficking thing. A lot of crimes I can somewhat understand. Robbing bank? Okay they need money. Drugs? Okay, they're addicted.

But trafficking a person? I don't understand that at all.

[cincinnatikid513]

looks like he was just trying to meet a hooker


Here are the details on the arrest from the Ohio attorney general’s office:

Fourteen men were arrested during a single-day human trafficking operation that targeted individuals seeking to buy sex via the internet, Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost and Liberty Township Police Chief Toby Meloro announced today. The operation, which took place on Sunday, was conducted by the Liberty Township Police Department in cooperation with the Mahoning Valley Human Trafficking Task Force, a task force under the attorney general’s Ohio Organized Crime Investigations Commission.” John stings deter those seeking to purchase sex – reducing the demand for human trafficking – and serve as a reminder that these crimes are more prevalent and closer to home than you may think,” Yost said. “Hats off to Chief Meloro and the Liberty Township Police Department on their successful operation.”

Crime against humanity is what that is. Crimes against children, women, the weak and the poor. Crimes against people in helpless situations.

Those are death penalty crimes in my book. There is nothing worse. Maybe he was getting a hooker or maybe he was trafficking humans.

Charged with soliciting, a 3rd degree misdemeanor. But also charged with possessing criminal tools, a first degree misdemeanor. I wonder what the second is about.

[LT Profits]

Sounds like he is getting a bit of a bad rap here, he was looking for sex and had nothing to do with the trafficking. That said, soliciting for sex may be enough to end his umpiring career.

sounds like could be anything



Possessing Criminal Tools

Defending Clients Facing Criminal Tools Possession Charges

From a revolver to a flashlight, nearly anything can qualify as a criminal tool in Ohio. An alleged offender’s mens rea (or criminal intent) is the crux of a criminal tools prosecution under Ohio Code 2923.24. This means “any substance, device, instrument, or article” is a criminal tool if the alleged offender intended to use it for a criminal purpose. Prosecutors typically charge offenders with possessing criminal tools to strengthen an indictment and induce a plea or because they’re unable to charge you with the underlying crime. Sometimes this isn’t constitutional. The Ohio criminal tools statute is exceptionally broad, and this can work both for and against prosecutors. With the help of an experienced Ohio criminal defense attorney at the Joslyn Law Firm, we may be able to defeat the mens rea necessary for a criminal tools conviction.

so like if he brought handcuffs or a big dildo to use on the girl that could be a criminal tool?

i think his wrap here is bad too. he was not trafficking. he was buying sex and the woman happened to be trafficked. not saying it makes it ok of course.

i doubt there was even a trafficked person involved, he was probably talking to some cops online most likely even a guy

[nyplayer33]

Why is this in the news to begin with

[Foxx]

More or less seems like the Robert Kraft situation

[MinnesotaFats]

This is how profoundly stupid and lazy law enforcement is.

"We want to stop trafficking"

Do they arrest a single trafficker? They arrest a guy scrolling online ads looking for a bj.

Utterly stupid and a waste of resources. Cut the funding for any police force doing this sort of shit.

If you want to stop human trafficking you do it at the border, with a wall, with security and enchanced imaging at checkpoints. Then you use FEDERAL law enforcement to apply the MANN ACT to any enterprise (RICO) that transports across state lines. IE the owners/ madams of the chinese massage parlors. That's 80% of trafficking. The other 20% is white trash junkies hooked on heroin by miserable dudes and those aren't online either, those are your daily street walkers.

[spro23]

He probably paid for a blowjob they call it human trafficking to shame men and grab headlines

[ronald]

This particular umpire has always had a horny aura.

It's beyond stupid and what terrible reporting.

The only people who can turn in or testify against a trafficker are the prostitutes themselves, that's who you have to arrest to stop the traffickers.

This is more reason to defund the worthless pieces of shit we call cops

fatty u ready to see tampa bay piss all over the vikings , using tampa has my 2x play this week in sbr contest, cousins pick 6 coming

[pimike]

State allowing Drugs now and rioting.

But dang it don’t be thinking about paying for sex. We will put you all over the news if you do.


As for most these cases these women are not being held hostages and working out of fear. They simply do it for money.


Now if underage then that’s different. However none of these so called trafficking cases are that.

Looks like he will strike out even though he needs a walk.

If you’re going to get an escort never go it’s always better if you’re on a vacation and you have a hotel room where they can’t really set up any sting


Going to a massage Parlor or the escorts house is 👿

If anything else let them come to where you live and never talk about money and sex just leave it on the counter

[PaperTrail07]

Its Youngstown Man........You have to realize these people start making $ from nothing....only think I can compare it to is Somalians in Minnesota......they will sell their own cousins and family to prostitution , the same people they crossed the pond with....they have nothing -and are savages......and stop at nothing for $....there is almost nothing they wont do---like hurt dogs backed into a corner.....animals...

Why is that, Ron? Tell us more

[TheMoneyShot]

Uh... when you're fat and overweight.... and on the road... like most of these umpires are.... is there any other way to get sex without paying for it??? Seems like they all do.

[eidolon]

So stupid calling it human trafficking. It's called sex with a prostitute. Calling these situations 'human trafficking' really dilutes the times with human tracking really is happening.

[eidolon]

Was his 'criminal tool' a dildo?

[clockwise1965]

What a idiot.
