Inside the ‘school’ for men caught paying for sex

Police in Texas and across the US regularly conduct operations to catch men seeking sex workers’ services. Programs bankrolled by evangelical churches promise to change them

Pizza had been ordered for lunch, and greasy police fingers were now all over the officers’ weapons. Not their guns – their holsters were slung in a corner of the roadside motel room. For this sting operation, the detectives were armed with iPhones, texting their way into the coming frenzy.

“I know what the eggplant emoji is,” said Det Gene, referring to the oft-used sexting symbol, “but do we know if the prosecutors will take it as an agreement for sex?”

The youngest of this sting team in Brazos county, Texas, Gene’s thumbs were called into action for maximum authenticity whenever older detectives had someone on the hook.

Police in Texas and many parts of the United States regularly conduct these operations to catch men buying sex. This is, after all, a country in which consenting adults selling and buying sex remains illegal everywhere except in 10 counties of Nevada.

I had been invited to witness frontline policing of the sex trade in what the officers believe is a radical change to the way they go about it – going after “johns”, not “janes”.

But before we could reel in any johns, we had to put our guesses up on the whiteboard: how many we’d bust today, and of those we would bust, how many would cry, possess drugs, carry unlicensed guns, or have outstanding warrants. I had just finished my tally when the room suddenly came alive.

week after Fernando’s arrest, I was in a church basement in downtown Waco, Texas, with 11 johns who had been busted while attempting to procure sex. They were avoiding each other’s gaze, keeping their heads down under their baseball caps – and even more carefully evading the eyes of the man standing before them.

“This won’t be a hugathon,” warned Brett Mills, coordinator of an anti-prostitution programme known as a “john school”. “We’re kind, but we’re not faint of heart.”

Mills has been running this john school – a mandatory education programme for men convicted of first-time solicitation offences – since 2016, through Jesus Said Love, a not-for-profit organization that he runs with his wife, Emily. Each man attending the class had to pay $525 for the privilege, as part of a misdemeanour charge for soliciting a prostitute online.

LEAKED AUDIO: Trump planned to falsely claim victory, according to Bannon

quote:

On the evening of October 31, 2020, Steve Bannon told a group of associates that President Donald Trump had a plan to declare victory on election night--even if he was losing. Trump knew that the slow counting of Democratic-leaning mail-in ballots meant the returns would show early leads for him in key states. His "strategy" was to use this fact to assert that he had won, while claiming that the inevitable shifts in vote totals toward Joe Biden must be the result of fraud, Bannon explained.

"What Trump's gonna do, is just declare victory. Right? He's gonna declare victory. But that doesn't mean he's a winner," Bannon, laughing, told the group, according to audio of the meeting obtained by Mother Jones. "He's just gonna say he's a winner."

"As it sits here today," Bannon said later in the conversation, describing a scenario in which Trump held an early lead in key swing states, "at 10 or 11 o'clock Trump's gonna walk in the Oval, tweet out, 'I'm the winner. Game over. Suck on that.'"

Bannon wist het dus ook dondersgoed maar werkte lekker mee aan Trump's plan via zijn radiokanaal/ War Room podcasts.

Het was ook allemaal zo ontzettend doorzichtig, het werd ook van te voren voorspeld dat het zou gaan gebeuren als Trump zou verliezen en nog trappen er hele hordes domvolk in zijn 'fraude'-claims. Erger nog hele hordes geloven het nog steeds

Is de audio-opname authentiek ? Is het Steve Bannon op 31 oktober 2020?
Is het gecheckt?
Dan zou men Bannon kunnen vragen over dit op een hearing.
Als er geen bewijs is dat de opname authentiek kan Bannon beweren dat hij van niks weet ...de geen-actieve-herinnering-verdediging
