Tampa Escorts In The News!

Businesses that routinely hire off-duty law enforcement officers will be out of luck during the convention when all local officers will be on duty, Tampa police Capt. Brett Bartlett told members of the Building Owners and Managers Association of Tampa Bay recently.
Last week, Tampa police had 116 off-duty jobs — which can include special events, escorts and construction site traffic control — a total number that police spokeswoman Andrea Davis said varies greatly week to week.
But thus far, downtown businesses aren’t scrambling to install more security cameras or hire bodyguards.
Sheridan’s company, which customizes security systems to fit homes and businesses, has done about 25 free consultations since sending out a first wave of mailers but has landed just two installation jobs.
No one has asked for a bodyguard yet from Reder Investigations and Security Consulting LLC, which is advertising armed escort services for the RNC.

Steffens said complaints about Miyako specifically alleged human trafficking and prostitution. They came from from nearby businesses, he said.
A woman was arrested and charged with solicitation of prostitution. Steffens said the woman Lian Jin Jin, 41, spoke enough English to communicate with officers.
Steffens declined to comment further on the human trafficking aspect, other than to say it was a concern. The Clearwater Police Department, which has a human trafficking task force, assisted the police department, as well as the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office and Department of Health.
Stephen Chellis is operator of Miyako and is someone “who’s in daily control of the business,” Steffens said.
…
This isn’t the first time a prostitution arrest has been linked to someone associated with Miyako, according to Steffens. He said that three Asian females were arrested on prostitution charges in 2007.

New Port Richey Police raid massage parlor, make prostitution arrest
…
The New Port Richey Police Department got a tip a few weeks ago alleging prostitution and possible human trafficking at Miyako Spa. The workers are Asian and some, police heard, might be forced to work against their will.
An undercover officer entered the spa and was offered sex, said New Port Richey Police Chief James Steffens. Officers raided the spa Friday afternoon. Two workers were at the business during the time of the raid. One worker, Lian Jin Jin, 51, was arrested and charged with solicitation of prostitution. The other woman was being questioned.
…
The spa, which advertises on its window front that it helps relieve stress, had been in trouble with the law previously. Steffens said officers raided the business in 2007 and three women were arrested on prostitution charges and operating the massage business without a license.

But Foster said the timing is right, and asked whether a huge welcoming party in August for the Republican National Convention is a motivating force, Foster said: “That helps.”
Ironically, his comments came immediately after a city council committee meeting that addressed other applications for security cameras. A clear majority of council members asked the St. Petersburg Police Department to prepare estimates for a system of portable cameras that could be placed outside neighborhood drug houses.
“When we have a hot spot, we put up the cameras,” councilman Karl Nurse explained. “The customers will stop coming, then the drug dealers will leave. Now you have an opportunity to recapture those blocks.”
Nurse introduced the concept for discussion in February, when the mayor said the idea was unaffordable.
Council members also want an estimate for a permanent camera system on 34th Street [U.S. 19] because of persistent prostitution issues.

Secret Service Agents Reportedly Had Sex With Prostitutes In El Salvador In 2011
…
This new report comes as a dozen Secret Service agents and U.S. military personnel are being investigated for cavorting with prostitutes in Colombia. At least nine Secret Service agents have been let go over the incident and the Defense Department has suspended the security clearances of the military personnel being investigated.
As many as 20 prostitutes were involved with the group, officials say, and none are believed to be underage.
The incident broke into public view when one of the prostitutes argued with a Secret Service agent over her payment in a hallway of the Caribe hotel. Local law enforcement intervened on the prostitute’s behalf. Paid sex is legal in Cartagena, but violates codes of conduct for U.S. personnel who were working there.

Those accused of re-entering the country after a previous deportation may be prosecuted in federal court.
Others had drugs in their possession when agents descended and could face state charges, officials said.
Some who are in the country illegally may simply be deported, said Ritchie Flores, a supervisor with Homeland Security Investigations.
“If we can remove them from this community and make it safer, then that’s what we’ll do,” said gang expert and Homeland Security Investigations agent Mike Fabyanic.
Though authorities are always looking for wanted criminals and gang members, they perform occasional round-ups to remind the criminals they can never relax, Fabyanic said.
“It’s bad for business for them if they know the cops are out there, looking for them,” he said.
Many of these transnational gang members are committing assaults, robberies and burglaries. They’re dealing drugs and promoting prostitution, he said.
