A vice detective went on the record with KING 5 to speak on camera for the first time. He works undercover so we are not revealing his identity."The commercial sex landscape in the greater Seattle area – it’s pervasive," he said."There is high demand in this area and there is a large supply in this area and Seattle is kind of a hub of the northwest for this type of behavior."
"With the advent of technology. We've seen a lot of trafficking and prostitution switch to online advertisements.""Yes."Taylor: So, if I point to a hotel on the east side, or maybe downtown Tacoma, there's likely prostitution going on in there."With prostitution to me, there's a choice. When you introduce a trafficker or a third-party exploiter, that decision-making ability gets removed from them.
"That's one of those things that's so easy to say. But in reality for that person in that situation is extremely difficult. Many females in prostitution begin when they’re still a minor. Many of them have experienced homelessness or unstable housing conditions. Have experienced poverty. We do see a higher percentage of females of color, specifically African Americans in this area.
