San Antonio Adult Entertainment: Experts: Child sex trafficking a very real issue in San Antonio

Wednesday, November 30th, 2011

Kids as young as 12 years old are being sold to what Smith referred to as “the typical common man.”
It’s happening across the country. It’s happening in San Antonio.
“Unfortunately there is a demand for it,” said Chris Burchell of the Texas Anti-Trafficking Organization. “They’re working online, they’re working in truck stops.”
In some cases, children are even sold by their own families.
UTSA professor Robert Ambrosino spent several months with 23 of his students producing a domestic sex trafficking documentary called “Behind Closed Doors.” Those interviewed said they were sold in San Antonio when they were only children.
“The people we interviewed had been trafficked by their parents,” Ambrosino said.
Although Texas laws are getting tougher at defining prostitution and sex trafficking, Linda Smith said there are still big gaps nationwide. She said other states will hopefully follow suit and also crack down hard on domestic sex trafficking.

SAN ANTONIO – Go-go dancers in tiny underwear might be expected at a gentleman’s club. But one mother says she saw it first hand at a local teen club.
She said she is outraged by how much skin she saw at Studio 7, 5455 Evers Road.
“We thought we were at, like, a strip club,” said the mother, who didn’t want to be identified. “We saw little girls dancing in their panties and their bras.”
The tiny tops and the barely-there bottoms are way too mature for a teen nightclub, she said, claiming there was nothing innocent about last Saturday’s rave at Studio 7.
According to a San Antonio police report, a 14-year-old girl was arrested for public intoxication and told police she got alcohol from a friend inside.

San Antonio Strip Clubs: Music-astute Northside club aspires to be more than just another strip venue

Wednesday, November 9th, 2011

In October, Endless hosted Houston rapper Z-Ro and finalists for the Texas You Be the Star karaoke contest. At these events, there were no exotic dancers, just locals enjoying drinks, entertainment, and buffet food. Carrasco said there are enough regular strip clubs in San Antonio. He’s trying to book bands every weekend — including pop metal rockers Drive and country legend Dwight Yoakam — and hold classic burlesque evenings on Wednesdays. The non-special-event days will be when Stone Oak, Bulverde, and Encino residents can kick back a beverage and take in the scenery. In other words, Carrasco wants Endless to be a variety act for everyone.

I agreed. The abundant TVs featured ESPN and a cable broadcast of Hoosiers. It wasn’t deafeningly loud either and dancers weren’t doing hardsells on attendees. Most importantly, there wasn’t the primal sadness of some strip clubs clogging the air. Even if Endless Music doesn’t evolve into the all-audiences variety act it aspires to be, Northsiders at least now have a clean, well-lit place to soak up some suds and sights. •

Safe Houses Give Trafficked Teens A Way Out
Sex Trafficking Victims Blur Line Between Victim, Criminal
POSTED: Tuesday, November 8, 2011
SAN ANTONIO — A recent runaway who asked to be identified as Nina turned to strip clubs to pay the rent at 17.
She was hand-picked by a man who claimed to be an investor and convinced to move to Las Vegas.
“The opportunity to make a lot more money was huge,” Nina said.
She stripped, she said, working 12-hour shifts, seven days a week. She remembers turning over a couple thousand dollars daily to the man she would eventually refer to as the devil.
After two months, he raised the stakes, asking her to sell her body for sex.
“I literally sold my soul to the devil when it came to him,” Nina said.
