he has a nice well there's a nice a great wall and nobody builds a lot better than me believe and i'll build a very inexpensive like a great great wall. and just in case you're worried about who's going to pay for it mexico will pay for . it we'll see what happens who knows i always say who knows what will seattle feel will be success. like most of the united states prostitution is illegal in california. merely 5 kilometers from a hollywood star is back boulevards 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 at western. limits. on the way back raven to want to. their mission tonight take down the prostitutes customers in a rush their pimps. will confirm a prostitution violation with the suspect and when violation has been obtained you see outrage will give 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 take approximately 1517 arrests and arrest some pants and are human traffickers. western avenue is a popular spot for sex workers the 2 undercovers take their position the operation 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 on top of 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 another cover officer. do you know 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 surgeon monos has a live feed of their conversations through the phone. banks it. sounds like they're trying to they go there they go she sexually 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 the plainclothes 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. little. thing was for oral sex but we told them that because she didn't get into the car that he thinks nothing happened while no if 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 $1000.00 fine however these johns aren't the only people sarge munoz is concerned about here she's there's just through the line of cars. he wants to identify the pimps these pimps and 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 here exchanged phone numbers. where they're on the cover so what the on the cover is going to do is going to communicate with me can be something that can be done tonight or it could be darn within the next couple of days. it's going to take place around. 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 or anything like that it was very kind of beg me he wanted more from us so not really saying ok our control over the plea but influencing me to keep working out on the street what we're trying to accomplish is to see if we can get a pandering by at least. a fornia 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 dollars to a. bad. idea we were given the rare opportunity to follow the hollywood vice squad who fight this modern slavery on a daily basis if i can go to jail. they're hunting ground

western avenue. they come out here illegally walk up and down the west. how quickly. sergeant 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. 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 probably looking at about 36 open cases right now aaron and his colleagues use some surprising investigation methods to catch out traffickers. we call this are. going through so. phones fake profiles online and on social media you know if

you're going to exploit a child here in los angeles they were going to come out you it was thanks to these techniques he has managed to pull one $120.00 miners out of prostitution in just to eat up where young you got to be freezing. t.k. is a survivor she was forced into prostitution throughout her entire teenage years. 12 to 18 hours probably about 12 or 15 different pants. 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 arrives when we can go. every day this father of 2 attempts to save minors who are being sexually exploited recently becoming a father has only reaffirmed his determination you know work in child sex crimes it's a very difficult position to work. you know the stuff that i'm 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. night or day or night but. i get a call yesterday. even on a day off. aaron's unit is located it l.a.p.d. headquarters in the heart of the city the 60 tech lives working in this department are very well pete 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 again i pose of either

a 16 or 17 year old female this particular female that i use is actually a police officer here fairly puti. and we use different type thing 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 is 18 years old however aaron is still contacted by dozens of men in 824681012 i probably have 25 or 30 direct messages from different bands and chapters this particular person who goes by i get paid the trust no one has asked me what school 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 saw who had said 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 graphic images i don't ask for him though send

a picture of a penis. these vulnerable and easily influenced girls will then fall into the pimps trap. for our real victims need these are all girls that are out there they have very low self-esteem so when something like this gets into the picture little things they tell 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 i say you know what i think you're the guy for me and then i'll know i'll come mess with the open. so we continue to chat. tonight aaron is going to try to trace back these men who are exploiting young girls his team will be working in a joint operation with the hollywood vice squad.

joining me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to a guest of the wall the politics sports i'm show business i'll see you then. we're going to be conducting this investigation at both del. cornelius the riser is going to be sergeant munoz we're going to have to interview the pennsylvania 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 has 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 to me this 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 period every year and the dozens of

surrounding hotels are a godsend for pimps. a lot of the girls or lines girls that were 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. so that room is where they will be doing the undercover operation and then the undercover when they get a violation. when we take the female into custody they bring her back in here and it was as easy as an. undercover cop is already texting a girl who was potentially under age to gain her trust he is telling her about his

evening kind of gave her a story so 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 $300.00 for an hour or for 50 for 2 hours. ok for example for you get her. raise 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 they're 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. or. pull out a system. so this is going to be the way to get. their government. police officers bump 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 sorry. you're here. for. the 1st yes oh you. are if i didn't know. each. 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. so like that's.

what's making this whole. kinder ip don't break they're going to pass off. 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 to unfortunate in getting minors and then one girl was 20 and then a crow was 24. or. and they're not being chopped if they're doing it on their own. so they will get. into the jail they'll get a fight ation and released and the whole lot they're all the 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 tonight operations the hollywood vice squad are taking advantage of those rare moments of downtime to release some tension kids early evening and surgery munoz's day has already been pretty busy. he came in early to help out the check this. branch of a couple gay members who were actually responsible for 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 . they will go all night you know addressing the issues should be a finite a 5 year long. for you usually long night. surgeon munoz will spend most of tonight patrolling the streets of these tollywood in search of underage prostitutes and 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 munoz sometimes stumbles upon some rather unusual scenes during the night i think. every night at

around 10 pm the regular ritual of scantily clad prostitutes coming out under the street begins they 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. there's soliciting is completely uninhibited for everyone to see so you can see them monitoring traffic waving cars blowing kisses at people obviously they're dressed the way they're dress or attire it's part of that. and certainly the surgeon notices a sex worker who appears very young. spring everybody had it. all so now she's here on the corner you see here i hear because of the street we have enough on the cover of just in the area they've got to try 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. such an alley other than one question declined an hour and all she's trying to screen him and as we can see there is one they're going to be driving away. surgeon who no standards detail them vehicles in the surrounding area are waiting for the signal from undercover cops before intervening. oks got the list. violent. theorists 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 they get. just typical friday night and a hollywood at the 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 who knows

recognizes the young pregnant girl this is the 3rd time she's been arrested. levinson never 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 so now they're not there to see if this was in charge of the children actually . she jumped out of the car ran out for ran away from the c.f.s. and she's fat but now she's she's probably in the future. us and we will be. he desperately wants to be a she is the. ship with the fish and it all right. oh.

very. well then we said confirm it but we just need to get the right information the wind 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 and she is in fact still a teenager is a reality her older sister's name i just found or. iris a card. game is actually you know. she was 15 at a fairly certain you see her sister's information so that it turned out that she still is and so now you got to call b.s. really. help her out and get her out alive but it's going to be a hard road if it's a young woman. so

what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. dramatic to follow only closely. i don't see how that strategy will be successful. to sit down and

talk. i'm. a suspect. francis revealed to be an 18 year old man who was born in moscow and had been living in france as a refugee he was shot dead by police not far from the crime scene. a pivotal moment in the conflict armenia and azerbaijan agreed to a new cease fire deal after fighting in the disputed region of. i'm standing in one of the creases left by the bombardment it's about. the various.
