Pimps : How do they operate?

Corona or not, the demand for prostitution is high and probably will always  be. What many of you ignore (or don't want to see) is that the vast majority of this prostitution is forced. In this article, I'll show you the modes of operation of these very well-organized “birds of prey” that do anything to lure young girls, sometimes even minors. Young prey quickly fall under the influence of these "predators", which isolate them from their surroundings and lead them down the sexual "corridor".

The story of love

Pimps target young girls at risk and search on social media. They charm them by offering to fix their "shortcomings", whether it is their need to belong to a group or to be valued, by taking them on jet set excursions and offering them luxury items. The young girls then "fall in love with their pimp" (or even marry him and have a child from him. At that point, the pimp knows that a mother will do anything to keep her child...) and end up prostituting for him.

The recruiter

Some pimps use recruiters – some can be women - to attract young girls. They approach them by inviting them to large "parties" in hotel suites or luxury apartments. Some of these recruiters sell dreams to young girls and openly offer them escort work. They hold up against them "the good life," the opportunity for plastic surgery, and the potential to make big bucks quickly. If a pimp succeeds in "working" one of the lured young girls on his own account, his recruiter receives a percentage of his income.

The survival instinct

In some cases, pimps target poor teenage girls who need money to meet their basic needs. They can be young girls who ran away from their family. Pimps often take control of these girls by fomenting their drug addiction to keep them captive.

Drugs and/or rape

To bait their prey, some pimps resort to a more radical method, namely drugging them after meeting them at "parties". This technique aims to "break" and "deprogram" her, in particular by raping her several times in order to ultimately induce her to prostitute herself. The young girls are regularly carried from apartment to apartment, then from city to city ...

Volunteers

As surprising as it may seem, some young women will even offer their services to pimps who can be found in bars, shopping centers or even in certain school playgrounds / universities ... Sometimes minors, sometimes adults, they want to "provoke" and highlight theirs "luxurious" way of life.

 

SOME „HIGH-LIGHTS“ OF PUMPING NETWORKS

 

Snapchat, Instagram, Facebook

The networks Facebook, Snapchat and Instagram are used by pimps to recruit their future victims. By scanning their profiles, they learn a lot about their private life. Thanks to the comments from the young girls, the pimps can tell when they are more susceptible to baiting them.

Shopping Centers

Pimps regularly roam shopping malls, popular places for young girls to recruit ...

Threats and Violence

Young girls under the influence of pimps are often victims of violence. This is the way a pimp is in control of them. Fine manipulators, they also use threats to keep their “prey” in their clutches. For example, they could threaten to tell their parents what they are doing or harm their little brother.

Pimp initials tattooed

Most of the time, the pimps have a "narcissistic" and "manipulative" profile and even require that the girl be tattooed with his name or a character representing him. All young women who "work for him" have the same tattoo. This practice, which is widespread in the industry, is known as branding. If asked whose name is tattooed on the thigh, finger or shoulder, she will answer you: It is her late brother or father.

That is why in this industry you will see a lot of girls (often very young) with tattoos that are sometimes a little strange and often weird.

Recruited minors

Young girls can be recruited from the age of 14. These more "fragile" girls are more easily "controlled" and are more likely to develop a love affair with their pimp. In one Eastern European country (whose name I won't tell) more than 30% of working girls sent to Western Europe are actually minors ...

A lot of money

Pimps make a lot of money, money they collect for every girl under their yoke. Some girls will receive a percentage of what they make, while others will never see the color of the money. In either case, the pimp can trick the girl into believing that she is "making money" or that he is saving it for her (who often has no bank account).

Not all drug-addict

Some of the girls have drug problems so their pimp make them become "addicted" to him. However, these are less easy to "control" due to impulsivity problems due to regular consumption. So, despite what one might think, many young girls, at the behest of the pimp, do not consume drugs or alcohol, so these guys can resell them at a better "price". Others prefer to be fasting in order to be "vigilant" around customers.

Not easy to stop

The investigation process to catch a pimp is long and rigorous. The proof is often hard to come by, especially when the young girls have developed a romantic affair under their control. In addition, the fact that pimps are constantly on the move makes police work difficult.

Where do these girls work?

The vast majority work in the streets or in clubs where they are easier to control. But you can also find them in erotic studios, in whorehouses or even in private apartments, where they are usually working with other co-workers... The fear and pressure of their pimps often force them to lower the prices for their services and end up to prostitute themselves, sometimes for a few Swiss Francs ...

What is the client's responsibility?

Many clients opt for the deaf ears. They choose not to be/feel concerned. Choosing the services of a girl who is being forced into prostitution means indirectly participating in and promoting her exploitation.

Why make this choice when, with a little research, you can visit a woman who chose this path on her own, who is not forced, and who even enjoys her job?

There is another face to prostitution. It's less common, but it does exist although no one likes to talk about it. Adult, girls next-door, sometimes even very educated women who chose this industry on by their own will and are not forced to do what they don't want to.

At TVR we are against human trafficking. If I have doubts about a girl and those doubts are confirmed, she must leave TVR or she can never work with us. Women who have a pimp have a certain attitude that I've learned to observe over time ...

Dear Gentlemen, stop being passive accomplices and take your share of responsibility.
