FARGO A Fargo man is on a mission to expose local massage parlors for what he believes they are fronts for commercial sex and human trafficking.
Keith Coates, 26, said he visited four such parlors in the metro area, all with the same result an unmistakable offer from the masseuse for a sexual service in exchange for money, which he declined each time.
I couldnt believe it. It just seemed so surreal, said Coates, who has worked as a massage therapist in Fargo for more than two years.
In addition, he said he has what he believes is proof, in the form of a text message, that human trafficking is happening at one of the parlors.
Coates said he reported the incidents of sexual offerings to Fargo and Moorhead police, but that hes hit a wall trying to make something happen.

Is it human trafficking if it’s consensual?

A sure bet is that Keith is light in his flip-flops.

Just don’t get the fish at the Asian Massage Parlor, especially if it is greasy.

This guy has a personal problem. As for greasy grub, we used to love KFC but recent experience NOT. Appears they let the grease get dirty ?

I got that impression, too. Seems like he doesn’t like competition from good-looking women. Then he tries to act as if he’s doing his civic duty.

...so he runs to the media. That’s a nice way to force government to take action. Bravo.
As a bonus, he gets to reduce his competition in town. Bravo, again.
Then again, unless he had a hidden microphone, he has no real proof of his encounters.
Many years ago, in Austin, I was on a jury for a prostitution sting. The Korean woman said only one thing in English: “Fifty dollars”. Had I not been in a jury room with five housewives in a rush to convict and go home and make dinner, I could have spent hours dissecting this and perhaps showing how the police had done far less than prove their case but the court-appointed defense attorney would have needed to pay me for doing his job for him and I did not want to work for free.
I did tell the prosecuting attornies that I could teach my parrot to say “Fifty dollars” and it would not make my parrot a prostitute. The cops barged in before any act commenced.
