Secret Online Emoji Code Used by Criminals Trafficking Children for Sex aka Rape- Massively Increased Recognition and New-to-me Symbology using Hearts, Crowns and Others Emojis (pizzagate)

submitted ago by 3141592653

Today on my local news, they discussed the codes that human traffickers use on backpage.com to advertise/sexually exploit children and women. I had never heard of this code before.

I tried but was unable to find a link to my local news story, but i did find this:

http://www.hope4justice.org/our-newsletter/2017/6/14/emojis-trafficking-those-cute-little-symbols-may-have-a-not-so-innocent-meaning-on-craigslist-or-backpage

Turns out this info was published back in June, but these codes are news to me, and we should all be aware of this coded language... Similar to "cheese pizza", etc. The local news story presented this yesterday as breaking news.

Hearts, Crowns, airplanes, cherries and other pictures are used to symbolize things like "underage", "victim being flown in" and "virgin." This shit makes me sick.

What i also found at the following link is that two days ago the woman who helped uncover these codes got an award, which means increased recognition of this sick code language.

How and why the FUCK is backpage still getting away with this horror? Sickening.

Oh shit. I always thought the presence of those symbols meant 'I am a whore'. Backpage got rid of the direct prostitution ads but under massage there are lots of Asian Massage Parlors in my locality that are using these symbols. These AMPs are of course totally unlicensed and illegal but somehow have proliferated in the past few years.

I forgot to mention, that while the AMPs are ostensibly there for massage therapy (but still violate licensing laws for that) they actually provide prostitution.

They are heavily advertised in Backpage and Craig's List.

If by chance someone knew that a kid was being held under house arrest, and saw vehicles coming and going at the child's house at odd times, they might be witnessing trafficking. If that someone had a very good camera with a long lens, they could take photos of the license plates. If anyone reading this fits this description, I hope they consider looking into this.

License plates of johns?

AMPs are a well-known phenomenon across the entire US. As I understand it the workers are basically trafficked, misled to get into the business. However these are generally legal age Asian women.

I'm not sure how they flourish. Kickbacks? No one wants to deal with the Chinese Triad gangs, or whoever is behind it?
