one underneath your house on the net. like most of the united states prostitution is illegal in california. merely 5 kilometers from a hollywood star is back with a dark industry comes to life each night as dozens of young women are selling their bodies on the street. in the hollywood vice squad sergeant who knows and his men are gearing up for a major operation western you know this. of a slow down on the way back raven to us that want to. write.

their mission tonight take down the prostitutes customers in a rush their pimps. that will confirm a prostitution violation with the suspect and when violation has been obtained you see outrage will get a pre-determined signal. the police officers are going to do something that would be unthinkable in france go undercover posing as prostitutes. these agents known as undercovers will encourage customers to pay them and catch them in the act they will also try to be recruited by pimps. to make approximately 1517 arrests and arrests pimps and or human traffickers. western avenue is

a popular spot for sex workers the 2 undercovers take their position the operation . it is extremely dangerous they could be assaulted by customers or threatened by pimps carrying weapons this is why searching windows has set up ingenious security measures. in the box me jaysus one of the plainclothes police officers will pretend to be homeless hidden under a cardboard box so by having the uniforms in the area we also have you know various you know you see operators that's up to them to be as creative as they can be. this individual here in the car in front of us with the hood open that's actually on the cover officer. just in front of the 2 police officers another armed officer is ready to intervene in case things get out of hand the prostitutes are very

quickly approached. they've only been out there for 30 seconds and now we have a car stopping to talk to the sergeant munoz has a live feed of their conversations through the phone. 0 expected. thanks it. sounds like they're trying to they go there they go she. the money a simple verbal agreement between the prostitute in the customer is all it takes to classify as an offense the girls indicate to the customer a little further away. so that's the plain clothes officers cover isn't uniformed officers nearby carry out the arrests. try now you're just being. detained for prostitution investigation. you know. these arrests will

continue well into the night. i think it was for oral sex but we told him that because she didn't get into the car. he thinks nothing happened while knowing that you can still commit a crime even without the theme of getting in the car in california prostitution customers or johns risk up to 6 months in prison and a 1000 dollars fine however these johns aren't the only people charged who knows who's concerned about. her she says there's just too the line of cars waiting. he wants to identify the pimps these pimps often recruit girls directly from the street the driver of this luxury sedan approach christina one of the undercover officers.

this is a possible pam and he exchanged phone numbers. where they're on the cover so what the on the cover is going to do if they going to communicate with them it could be something that could be done tonight or to be darn within the next couple of days. or what. the result rests and contact with a potential sexual trafficker the operation has been a real success for surgery and the hollywood vice squad at the station christine is quick to contact the driver of the sedan. the way he was talking to her it wasn't like the usual guys that approach us and are just like a. i was oral anything like that it was very kind of beg me he wanted more from us so not really saying ok our control over the plate

they have but influencing me to keep working. out on the street what we're trying to accomplish is to see if we can get up to hendrie. california inciting an adult woman to prostitute is punishable by 6 years in prison. los angeles the 2nd most populated city in the united states with over 4000000 inhabitants and hotbed of prostitution and they. differ. on the city sidewalks in apartments but also in hotels around the airport thousands of women are prostituting themselves under the control of pimps who are often gang members. this issue is affecting more and more underage girls on

a daily basis totally. less risky than trafficking weapons or drugs the sexual exploitation of children is a highly profitable business for organized crime and under-age prostitute could bring in between $150200000.00 a year 10000 $1.02 weeks that is a week. we were given the rare opportunity to follow the hollywood vice squad who fight this modern slavery on a daily basis if i get to tell you another car you go to jail. they're hunting ground western avenue. they come out here illegally walk up and down the west. how quickly. surging munoz is leading a team of around 20 officers in the field working undercover they are trying to catch prostitutes and pimps by posing as customers. the guys there

they're going. as soon as underage victims are. identified these undercover officers and the case over to the human trafficking unit 60 tech to have specialized in long term cases and probably looking at about 36 open cases right now erin and his colleagues use some surprising investigation methods to catch out traffickers. because this car was. going through cell phones fake profiles online and on social media you know if you're going to exploit a child here in los angeles we're going to come out with thanks to these techniques he has managed to pull one $120.00 miners out of prostitution in just a year got 4 young you've got to be freezing i am. t.k. is a survivor she was forced into prostitution throughout her entire teenage years. crop

12 to 18 hours probably about 12 or 15 different pen. it's an exceptional immersion by elly's elite police officers who are leading the war against sexual trafficking without mercy. they get out here where you go to jail to . there and lives in a residential suburb around 15 miles away from los angeles. this former professional snowboarder has now been working in the human trafficking unit for 12 years. erin and his wife have a new member to their little family. center came early and we have a new addition to our family. our baby girl arrived when we could

go. every day this father of 2 attempts to save minors who are being sexually exploit. recently becoming a father has only reaffirmed his determination you know work in child sex crimes it's a very difficult position to work. exposed to on a daily basis the images that we see you know the interviews you hear the stories of these children of what they go through and it's heartbreaking you know obviously i would never want my daughter to ever be you know exposed to any of this so it's still a motivator for me. however aaron doesn't have a lot of spare time for his family. as. they are now i. think it yes. even on a day off. erin's

unit is located ellie p.d.'s headquarters in the heart of the city the 60 tech lives working in this department are very will be on average $100000.00 per year in order to fight this war against sexual trafficking they have a surprising weapon up their sleeve they use fake social media accounts as a means to catch pimps i have 2 undercover accounts. instagram that i do so this is my 1st account can i pose as either a 16 or 17 year old female this particular female that i use is actually a police officer here fairly p.d. . and we use different types and i will do it showing her with money resource show that she gets to travel a little bit in california the legal age for sex who's 18 years old however aaron is still contacted by dozens of men you know 24681012 i probably have 25 or

30 direct messages from different bands and chapters this particular person who goes by i get paid. trust no one asked me what school you go to i told the school and then the very next one was how old are you to be honest with you i am 16 years old saul go and send that to him and we'll see if your response. to recruit young girls via social media or dating apps the pimps 1st try to seduce them some don't hesitate in sending a graphic images that i don't ask for and send a picture of your penis. room rable and easily influenced girls will then fall into the pimps. for our real victims needs these rural girls that are out there they have very low self-esteem so when something like this gets into the picture little things i told them how cute they are you've got a nice body you're so smart it builds a girl's confidence at some point

a rope and you say you know what i think you're the guy for me when all you know all come mess with the oh. so we continue to chat. tonight aaron is going to try to treat these men who are exploiting young girls his team will be working in a joint operation with the hollywood vice squad. believing weird things by the way it's called superstition or magical thinking believing weird things like that is not a bug in the system it's a feature the con is equipped in the software of our programming to try to connect things in the environment just in case there's a real connection. we're

going to be conducting this investigation that will tell. cornelius the riser is going to be sergeant munoz we're going to have to interview the bench a victim and once we determine that they are victims of human trafficking being or pandering then we're going to attempt to locate and identify their their pimps. one of the vice squad officers as selected the on line profiles of the prostitutes that appear under any as of 2017 they are now considered as victims under california law to help them get out of the game these undercover officers are going to trap them by posing as potential customers this is what we're looking for right here she looks very. you can tell she's using social media that's i mean just kind of screams that. this has the potential to be a juvenile victim right here. in the market for it is nothing that you would

believe the. police will be operating from this luxury hotel by x. 80000000 travelers who pass through this area every year and the dozens of surrounding hotels are a godsend for pimps. a lot of the girls are like these girls at work prostitution. may know these hotel very well they know that most of the men that call them in this area are businessmen who are usually from out of town so a lot of times are undercover as well act as businessmen from out of town. 20 or so agents are now inside 2 adjoining rooms in this hotel. in. the hand is good. so that room is where they will be doing the undercover operation and then the undercover when they get a violation and then we take the female into custody they bring her back in here

and it was the reason for. the undercover cop was already texting a girl who was potentially. under age to gain her trust he is telling her about his evening kind of give her a story that it's credible that i was at a strip club and i wanted to fuck up so now that i spoke spoke to her she says she's going to be out here in 20 minutes and hopefully we can get her to come out and then how much was the amount of her rate to this $300.00 for an hour or for 50 for 2 hours. ok for example for you get her fulfill. reads for hotels are 2 or 3 times higher than the going rate on the street police officers have police cameras around the bedroom for the operation they can discreetly observe what is going on in the next room. so.

they are doing a negotiation we can hear it and it helps us with our investigation later on down the line if we have to go to court their evil the use of creole to show that the officer did make an agreement the girl a police officer on watch at the hotel entrance alerts the team of the young woman's imminent arrival at all if she. can. pull out a system. so this is going to be the way to get. their government. police officers bumped into was suspicious woman in the corridor or perhaps the prostitutes madam.

the police officer who is posing as the customer comes out of the bedroom pretending to take a phone call. you're. like we man thought. here. but. first yes oh you. are if i didn't. know. the young woman is taken into the adjoining room over there she's making out like this is her 1st arrest. and. she's taken $200.00 from the fake customer got it. the police officers now want to find out if she is working under

a pimp 2. so like. i once did this. is. your ip don't break you're going to pass out. it's impossible to know whether she is working for herself or for someone else despite her young appearance she is in fact of age as she's very youthful in appearance yeah but they verify she's 20. the police managed to arrest a 2nd prostitute later that evening but she is also of age. they got 2 girls tonight it was a good night they got 2 unfortunate in getting minors and then one girl was 20 and a crow was 24. and they're not being chopped if they're doing it on their own.

so they will get. taken to the jail. they were going to fight asian unreleased and hold up their own little way. being charged with prostitution means these 2 girls risk a $1000.00 fine and over 40 hours community service unfortunately the police haven't managed to arrest any underage girls tonight but their efforts to save these young girls from a life of prostitution will soon be rewarded. between 2 night operations the hollywood vice squad are taking advantage of those rare moments of downtime to release some tension kids early evening and sarge munoz's day has already been pretty busy.

he came in early to help but the fact is. the upper hand should have a couple gay members who were actually responsible for shooting. shooting throughout all the wood and some of the surrounding areas so we got them a custody so we're here at 4 in the morning for you know we're going to start right . there will be all night you know addressing the issues should be a finite a 5 year long. where you usually have all night. surgery munoz will spend most of tonight patrolling the streets of these tollywood in search of underage prostitutes in his undercover car he will head down western avenue. crossing koreatown with its local businesses and motels but also those more

infamous hollywood streets that are ran by gang members surgeon who know sometimes stumbles upon some rather unusual scenes during the. i mean i think. every night at around 10 pm the regular ritual of scantily clad prostitutes coming out under the street begins to come out here and just plainly walk. wester and you can see how quickly things just get more growth yeah there's there's about 56 different girls it within about a 4 block area. the soliciting is completely uninhibited for everyone to see so you can see them monitoring traffic waving cars blowing kisses at people obviously their dress the way their dress or attire it's part of that. and suddenly the surgeon notices a sex worker who appears very young. spraying everybody at him.

so now she's here on the corner you see here right here because of the street we have enough undercover officers in the area they kind of tried to get her attention to see if she decides to get into one of the cars. one of the plainclothes officers approaches her in his van after a short conversation the young woman agrees to get in. so she's not out here with them one question declined an hour and all she's trying to screen him and as we can see the wife know they're going to be driving away. surgeon who knows stern's detail them. in the surrounding area are waiting for the signal from undercover cops before intervening. oks got the violent making.

the arrests take place at a gas station. c.c.t.v. cameras and lighting mean it is safer for both parties that. once again the young woman doesn't have any idea. so these girls often lie to us about their identity no i.d. and their age even though she's saying she's 20 years old she and her parents is that of a german also. these arrests of under-age looking girls continue well into the night. because it. just typical friday night and a hollywood initiated alley. more often than not these girls aren't carrying id they're taken to the station to verify their ages.

in the parking lot one of the girls catches the attention of the officers she's 5 months pregnant. at the precinct surgeon munoz recognizes the young pregnant girl this is the 3rd time she's been arrested it. was our 11th and then we got her and. her last arrest was when she was 17 years old and she is now potentially of age but the police officers are sure to try to get her salad they're not there to see if this was in charge of the children actually. she actually jumped out of the car ran out for ran away from the c.f.s. and she's better but now she's she's probably an adult every 3rd night that. 45th president maybe she. got it. was or could be.

a she is the it is they said it shifted all right. well there we said confirm it but we just need to get the right information out. of it when checking the files the officers realize that the young woman has lied about her date of birth she's been using her sister's idea she is in fact still a teenager so brianna is her older sister's name i just found for. iris mark. davis actually. she was 15 as a fairly certain you see her sister's information show that it turned out that she still is and so now i got a call b.s. really hopefully help her out and get her out alive so but it's going to be a hard road if it's a young. that's

the crucial point of the book or bottom line of the book namely i think you're pretty much stuck with your looks but if you have other things that you're good at either music or running or doing intellectual work or politics then one should take advantage of one's advantages and project goers and forget about the fact that you may not be the best looking person on the block. and don't.

know. that. the. headlines this hour. relating to all residents to you self isolates is russia's death toll from coronavirus doubles to a paper it's only now accounts for one 3rd of the world's fatalities from me at brighton 4 than $10000.00 dead. i've taken asked that has come out poses. and among the main stories of the way the british prime minister test positive for 91 writes a letter sent to every household in the u.k. telling people to stay.
