Dear Johns

By Josh Feit April 27, 2010

The Seattle Times has a scary report
about an 18-year-old woman who was forced into prostitution.

The police have arrested the 20-year-old man and his two apparent teenaged accomplices, who allegedly coerced the 18-year-old.

But despite this news:
Detectives obtained records of the girl's text messages and telephone conversations. Those records indicated that she earned about $500 per day in prostitution, police said.

...there's no report of arresting any Johns.

SeattleCrime.com's Jonah Spangenthal-Lee has reported on this sexist mode of policing before.
