San Francisco is seeing a rise in “rampant and brutal sex trafficking,” and residents are FASTS

Residents of San Francisco's Mission District are desperate to put an end to all the sex trafficking happening before their very eyes.

They are so desperate that they have launched a petition demanding that the city install 16 license plate readers in the area to discourage any additional sex trafficking.

“San Francisco is failing the Mission District and its underprivileged, primarily BIPOC, constituents,” he said request reads. “The city has no coherent plan to prevent rampant and brutal sex trafficking from infiltrating and degrading the neighborhood.”

“The situation is further exacerbated by the reckless driving of the Johns, which has led to countless hit-and-run accidents and violent traffickers who have vandalized homes and cars in the neighborhood. The overall impact is immeasurable harm to trafficked women and girls and for the Central Mission neighborhood, families and businesses. The city of San Francisco, because of its decades of neglect of the situation, is responsible,” he continues.

Vanessa Russell of the anti-trafficking organization Love Never Fails described a “McDonald's drive-thru of shoppers” and estimates there are 40 to 60 prostitutes on Capp Street every night, a doubling or tripling of just a year ago.

How bad is the problem? An anonymous resident said The San Francisco Standard that the traffic has become “quite open”.

“The resident said he has seen fights break out between sex workers and youths. The workers have also approached their guests, offering their services. He has witnessed intruders on his property and those of other neighbors and friends as they passed by,” according to the Standard.

“We had a guest return after visiting us and he approached her like she was a working girl,” said the unnamed resident. “My 18-year-old son was accosted by a sex worker who asked him, 'Do you want some p—y?' Everyone's cheeky. It's not discreet at all.”

“My car was flipped over,” said another resident. “I've had sex workers come into my yard and have sex next to my house.”

A third resident added that Johns who come to buy sex tend not to care about the people who live there.

“If you had to go [through the neighborhood] on any given night, people driving have no regard for the safety of the people who live here,” said the resident.

“The way they drive, it looks like they're intoxicated. If I was walking when this activity is out, I wouldn't feel safe on what's supposed to be a slow street,” they added.

Why is all this happening? Critics believe it is the result of the Safer Streets for All Act that California's far-left governor, Gavin Newsom, signed into law.

“The legislation, signed in July 2022 and officially coming into effect in early 2023, repealed an earlier law that prohibited loitering with the intention of engaging in prostitution,” he said. Fox News. “The bill was championed as one that would help protect transgender women from allegedly being targeted by the police.”

Why is there no concerted response from law enforcement to end child sex trafficking? Because California politicians have, for more than a decade, downplayed prostitution as a “victimless crime,” reduced penalties for sex trafficking, and demoralized law enforcement.

Faced with all this traffic, critics are now calling on the governor to repeal the law, even though he's still too busy attacking the Republicans to take care.

“After the decriminalization bill went into effect in 2023, I accompanied the San Diego Police Department to Dalbergia Street to see what was happening. I did the same with the National Police in the city to see the impact on main street,” San Diego County District Attorney Summer Stephan, a Republican, wrote recently. The San Diego Union-Tribune.

“I witnessed firsthand the unintended consequences of SB 357. What I saw was an open sex market with scantily clad young women and a line of sex buyers waiting in cars as casually as if they were in a car to order a hamburger. Traffickers, sex sellers and buyers were undeterred and carried out their business with impunity,” he added.

He concluded the column by demanding that Newsom repeal the law, SB 357, and “also increase penalties for sex buyers who line the pockets of traffickers.”

Newsom, for his part, pledged, when he signed the bill, that his administration would remain “cautious with its implementation” and monitor any negative repercussions.

However, when asked by Fox News about the outbreak of trafficking in the Mission District, his administration had little to say.

“As the governor stated when he signed the Safer Streets for All Act into law, the administration is closely monitoring the implementation of this particular law and is committed to responding to any unintended consequences,” said the 'governor's office.
