On Saturday night I met up with a few friends at the Abbey in West Hollywood. I was coming from the Trans Coalition fashion show. I had two glasses of wine while watching the show. I had a third at Pump and one beer at The Abbey. I started leaning on my friends as I was clearly intoxicated, feeling embarrassed for being too drunk, I decided to get my ass home so I left my friends around These men were not out drinking and having a good time, these men were professionals and they were there to lure me to a second location. I called 911 when I got home and reported the behavior. The operator was annoyed stating it wasn’t an emergency but I felt otherwise. If I was just a little more intoxicated would I have made it home safe? Who is next? These men are standing outside our bars praying on vulnerable women. Where are the police? What is the city of West Hollywood doing to protect us? Sex trafficking is now an epidemic in our country and around the world. It’s happening right outside our local bars. I beg you ladies reading this to be alert, never leave a bar alone even if you are embarrassed or ashamed of being intoxicated. The sex trafficking industry pulls in an estimated $99 billion each year making it the fastest growing crime. I found a hot line to report any suspicious activity 1-888-373-7888 please don’t be afraid to call the police or this number.
