Unerage Sex

“If you’re innocent, why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?” The above quote could equally apply to the criminals behind the prostitution syndicate know as Backpage. Last year when the ‘very much for-profit’ advertising website Backpage shuttered its adult ads section, it left in its way bewildered escorts, sex workers, and clients. Among those who were not quite as shocked by the dramatic turn of events which led to the federal authorities raiding and closing down the infamous child sex trafficking site were those of us who had long been watching from the sidelines waiting for the hammer of justice to fall upon the men responsible for selling children to creeps on the internet for sex.

Recently we reported to you the strange turn of events which lead to both the Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security joining the fight against Backpage, almost a year after the monstrous syndicate was seized and shuttered by federal authorities. New information out today suggests that both the DOJ and DHS are casting a wide net and implicating many foreign-based sites trying to exploit the same loopholes in American law that Tony Ortega’s pals who ran Backpage once did.
