On a side note…only 2 1/2 years for running a sex trafficking ring?

Pretty ironic that the law and order party keeps thumping drums about sex trafficking and it is one reason to have tight immigration control… but when actual crimes are found out, it is a slap on the wrist.

Convict them all, and put them all in gen-pop.
Surely this department will be thoroughly investigated and all offenders and co-conspirators who had knowledge of this will be tried and incarcerated Right? Right?.. ah, crickets…

“Well, see what happens when you defund the police. Those poor officers have to turn to criminality just to make ends meet. So really, if we have sex-trafficking rings, it’s all the fault of the liberals.” /s

- Maybe they couldn’t prove coercion
or
- Maybe laws against slavery in, um, Virginia, aren’t that … strict

Cops always find new ways to remind you that ACAB.

Another argument in favor of decriminalizing sex work. Help keep the workers safe by keeping the crooked cops away from them.
And only a 2-1/2 year sentence for extorting and coercing her workers for a decade? Seems exceedingly light.
So much of the world is broken.

Ehhhh I wouldn’t go so far as to say that. I bet abuse rates are fairly equal across most demographics (well, most male demographics).
For example, the Catholic Church has an earned stigma for abuse, but abuse numbers are about the same in protestant/non-denominational churches.
At any rate, I wish we gave a fuck about what people do to other people more than we cared if they have drugs on them or not.
