Lewisville Police Officers Disciplined for Misconduct in Prostitution Busts

The Denton County DA has rejected 23 criminal cases against alleged prostitutes presented by the Lewisville PD due to concerns about inappropriate conduct by the police officers involved. The cases, part of an undercover operation targeting local massage parlours, were undermined when it was discovered the police officers had made inappropriate physical contact with the suspects. An internal review led to 13 officers being disciplined, with three fired, one demoted, and seven suspended without pay. The cases reviewed took place over a two-year period, from 2022 to 2024, and led to the police department having to return two seized vehicles and $247,807 in seized cash. Despite the internal action taken, no officers are currently facing criminal charges.

The implications of her actions are far-reaching and undeniably alarming.

However, I cannot overlook the fact that she allegedly helped more than 200 blind people “get laid,” as some might crudely put it.… Continue reading

Belgian sex workers to get health insurance, pensions and maternity leave in world first

As a citizen of Belgium, I am proud to hear that our government has decided to grant health insurance, pensions, and maternity leave to sex workers in what is being hailed as a world first. This decision marks a significant step towards recognizing the rights and dignity of individuals in the sex work industry. While some may question the legitimacy of providing benefits to sex workers, I believe that it is crucial to ensure their well-being and protection.
