When you look on the Newspapers Classifieds Section there is a weirdo section named "Personals" . The entire country has been seeing ads like " Hot girls needed for Massage " " Adult Services " "Attractive girls needed, must be open minded and good looking" or "Must be able to provide executive services to clients "
Someone please tell me with their right minds , this is prostitution going on ! There have been articles where police have raided residential areas or spas for solicitation and night club sex parties. In Trinidad we have laws against these things but it goes unnoticed. Why are the newspapers even allowing these ads to be placed in public? Are they not screening their clients before posting an add? There have been kidnapping from these things and so many crimes have been going on where people are using ads to lure young women and rape them . Yes i know we cannot prove it but just looking at these ads it screams prostitution spelled out.
