It's agruable that how do we know, the reality is we don't, but I don't subscribe to no English or under 30 and she must be trafficked.
I think this just damages the ability of the genuine younger escorts who want to earn some money.
I will always remember one girl telling me how her brother was selling drugs. The police took the drugs, but he still owed the money for them.
They broke his legs and threatened to kill him if the money wasn't paid.
That's how she got into the business, she wanted to help her brother.
She was clearly coerced, although she made the decision to do this work to earn the money, so it's arguable she wasn't.
And what about the extortionate rent the escorts pay? It's arguable the "landlord" is providing a service and wants to be paid for their risk and trouble.
My own belief is the girls providing a phone answering service are providing a service, they are not pimps.
The "landlords" are providing accomodation.
You know the quickest way of sorting all this out? Legalise it.
Then accomodation would be available at normal rates, phone answering is phone answering, and advertising is advertising.
Boyfriends are boyfriends.
Many of these ladies just provide for themselves and their families, and I don't think are helped by speculation and well meaning but misguided good intentions
