Police and federal agents raided homes in Dallas, Fort Worth and Lancaster on Tuesday as part of a major human trafficking investigation, authorities said.

One man and two women were accused of operating a prostitution operation.

The Fort Worth raid is about a mile from us in the same subdivision - upper middle class neighborhoods. Local gossip is there were a lot of expensive cars coming and going in the area that made the neighbors suspicious.

Don't know if it is related, but there were helicopters in the area for the better part of an hour last night that both I and Mrs. Larry commented on.

Not discrete enough, perhaps? Usually the police turn a blind eye unless somebody complains.

Neighbors said they have talked among themselves about what was happening with the young women living in the house – and driving fancy cars. Visitors would come and go, they said.

Sounds like profiling...

Police identified those arrested as Tremont Blakemore, 39, Donna Gonzales, 38, and Peaches Hurtado, 26. They are charged with aggravated promotion of prostitution and engaging in organized criminal activity.

Surprise....Peaches Hurtado, 26.

Peaches is a Florida transplant. Looks to have been in the trade a while.

I wish every one would call this what it is:

this is slavery, but instead we call it “Human Trafficking”.

JMHO.

Yes! We live in an Orwellian Age of euphemisms, prevarications, and oxymorons.
