Nashville Escorts: Report Links Backpage.com To Sex Trafficking In Nashville

nashvillefemaleescort — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 05:13:18 +0000

Anton said the report reveals what’s really going on in the adult section of Backpage, who has yet to buckle to pressure to pull it down. Last summer, while under pressure from the National Association of Attorneys General they stated “Backpage.com is a legal business and operates its web site in accordance with all applicable laws. Censorship will not create public safety nor will it ride the world of exploitation.” For sex trafficking advocates it’s not about legality, but responsibility. They believe ending the adult section will make it that much harder for girls to be trafficked in Tennessee.
“The more we close down, the more they are going to have to look for other venues that are not as private as online to do their business and they’ll get caught more,” Anton said.
A few years ago, Craiglist was under fire for the same problem in their adult escort section. After significant pressure from dozens of states, they did decide to end an escort category and these advocates are hoping this report will help them get the same results with Backpage.

Nashville Escorts: Former Metro Officer Found Not Guilty Of Official Misconduct

nashvillefemaleescort — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 19:12:40 +0000

A jury found Jeffrey Poole not guilty Wednesday after three days of trial.
A judge withdrew a sexual battery charge against Poole on Tuesday citing a lack of evidence.
The investigation began at the end of April when a 27-year-old known prostitute reported that Poole, in uniform and on-duty as South Precinct patrolman, stopped her as she walked the streets south of downtown. She told officers that Poole patted her down to the point of fondling her and that he appeared to make verbal propositions, but she said she rejected his advances.
Poole also faces another charge of sexual battery, four counts of rape, three more counts of official misconduct, a count of patronizing a prostitute and a count of attempting to patronize a prostitute in a police zone in connection with three other women police identified as victims.

Nashville Escorts: Magdelene And Thistle Farms Founder Honored By President

nashvillefemaleescort — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 12:00:49 +0000

By Chris Cannon
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Reverend Becca Stevens had a vision in 1997 that would change the lives of hundreds of women in Nashville. Thursday, she will be honored at the White House for all she has done over the years.
“The vision is an old vision, it’s old stuff; to love people, and bring them into a home and have a safe place to have them,” Stevens explained.
The Episcopal priest started the Magdelene program nearly 15 year ago. It is a residential community for women who have survived prostitution, addiction and abuse.
In 2001, the Magdelene program led to the creation of Thistle Farms, a home and body products company that teaches Magdelene graduates real-life work skills.
Today, Magdelene operates six houses, where 28 women live. Thistle Farms employs 34 women, all of whom have graduated from the Magdelene program.

Nashville Escorts: Magdalene Founder Honored by White House

The Episcopal priest who started a recovery program in Nashville for former prostitutes is being honored Thursday by the White House. Becca Stevens founded Magdalene in 1997 and has been named one of 15 “Champions of Change.”
Magdalene is unique because it allows participants to stay two years at no charge. The women go relatively unsupervised and work in a social enterprise called Thistle Farms.
The success rate is better than most, with more than 70 percent staying clean after two years. Peggy talked to WPLN in 2008.
“At one time, I thought there was no hope for me because there ain’t no love out there in the streets.”
One former prostitute will travel to Washington with Becca Stevens to receive the honor and jokes that she’s gone from a crack house to the White House because of Magdalene. But Stevens says she hopes the recognition is just a spark.
