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.

I feel as though no attempt is made to hide the truth behind these things in the ads. Just looking at the photo pretty much reveals what its about. I suppose it's okay because the newspaper just wants their money but anybody in their right mind should not venture to seek any employment from anyone advertising such. It is simply too risky.
Tv6 and the express are one company and are very much known to do anything for money. They will show any advert be it on the papers or on tv even if its suspicious just to make more money. Ads like that shown in the Op post is nothing new for the Trinidad Express, and its that same ads that lure people to be kidnapped. Prostitution in any form or fashion is a offense and yet the Trinidad Express promotes this. Good job To the Trinidad Express, you guys will do anything for money without any standards.:argue:
not like they can deny customers who paying for their ads...I think other papers have ads like that also so I guess it's failure on all of them
Lol I think it's could work both ways....why police can't use these ads to their advantage and crack down on them
The police could barely keep up with the current crime much less close cases you really think police could stop this? Then again the police officers are fully aware of these places and are getting bribes to shut their mouths.
the way i had saw it is the newspapers putting well the peoplle who lack a little less common sense at risk but also giving the police info on the numbers to call lol......but you right tho lol is once money passing anything can go on
>#1 Creampie Thill, 10 Adorable Chicas That doesn't sound like prostitution at all. I'll go for one soon according to the price because I love pies filled with cream. Or am I being mislead?
Apparently i heard that a very well known "SPA" in Couva hosts night parties where illegal activities occur and police officers also attend. I have some more ads to post up you all will be blown away !
I feel is all over, its just a few we hear/know about really. It's ridiculous to say the least and sometimes people actually don't read the play.
Lmao yes its all over the place...the only real way I can see it stopping is people stop patronizing their businesses which I dont see happening and well for police to crack down
It won't happen nah. Its either we stop the corruption and have a chance of stopping it or continue as is. Sad.
If the Woodbrook police can't (or won't) stomp out the "in your face prostitution soliciting" along Warren street, as in less than 1 minute's WALK from the station, you think them gonna take on ads in the papers?? Even Ian buss a whore house already and nothing change.... Let de people earn they living for me please!
Good point there Sax. Especially about the one minute walk from the station. That more or less answers that.
