Going Undercover in London’s Brothels | Investigators
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 июл 2021
- Sex slavery in London is on the rise. A sophisticated network of human trafficking stretches from Eastern Europe right into the heart of the most expensive postcode in London: Mayfair.
These high-class brothels are controlled by Albanian gangs who force women into prostitution against their will, take all the profits and effectively turn them into sex slaves. Famous politicians, footballers and business tycoons are among the clientele, paying up to £300 an hour for sex and cocaine, fuelling the industry to grow.
After being approached by a pimp on a night out, investigative journalist Tam Hussein then teamed up with ITV News correspondent Lucy Watson to expose the entire operation. Tam went undercover into a brothel to show exactly how they operate, to confirm that the women are there against their will - and to expose how this is happening in plain sight across the streets of London.

Yes

How can we expect the laws to change when the people passing legislation are also engaged in this behaviour?
The top politicians are doing insider trading on corrupt million dollar a day levels (Pelosi of USA) and she is 75 and cant even drive a car but she is doing all these laws and such to cater her pockets.. same with McConnel and the prince who was busted with Bill Clinton on the island with epstein girl, in photos all over the web. They rather report this, something we all know about, instead of real reporting on corrupt top politicians, because they are threatened with jail thats why!
@@Derty_the_grower Yeah no, you need evidence.
Trump had a history of fraud and paying out of court and yet 30-40% of the USA voted for him.
@@Derty_the_grower Also it's not just 'jail'
My father went into business with a Honduran gang and due to that went into hiding for years.
Imagine being a whistle blower on a powerful Politician, jail is the least of your worries. More like waking up chained to the floor with fingers missing.
Bring back the guillotine.
Spot on.
I wish they'd actually expose the individuals we all supposedly know, especially the politicians - they've been living on borrowed time for way too long
these politicians are the very same ppl who tell you to get double jabbed and mask up..just think about that.
@@orlandotrustfullandhiscosm4110 I have been thinking thoughts like that non stop for the past 18 months - politicians are the most untrustworthy people on earth and these media employees NEED to find some courage ASAP and expose these disgusting people for who they really are.
How about instead of becoming impulsive and blaming people go out and start having a better understanding of the situation. People would rather go on rants on the internet than get to work and start finding out what and how things work.
@@sleepingninjaquiettime sez the guy on the internet having a rant.
@@sleepingninjaquiettime This is definitely a rant
It's awful how much hate is directed towards prostitutes and not towards the men who abuse them. Very reflective of the world we live in.
I know. A lot of hate towards women.
The majority of prostitutes are in it with their eyes open.
Young men are also affected by sex trafficking, my younger brother got into sex work a decade ago, have not seen or heard from him for 3 years😢
Lies again? Job opportunities leading to drug addictions
I'm pretty sure prostitutes have more supporters than haters. It's only really religious people that have a problem with them existing in the modern world.
I’m Canadian. In 2005, I was 21 and living in the South of France after uni grad, a man approached me while I was alone at the beach. He wasn’t creepy and he talked to me at least 30 mins. Finally, he revealed that he had recently “won the lotto” and wanted to give some of his winnings 800 Euro, to nice young ppl after his original plan of donating to the local charity was ruined after he saw the youth outside drinking. I was utterly naive and felt flattered. I told him repeatedly tho, I couldn’t take money destined for charity and that if I needed money, I’d ask my parents. He was so very insistent and eventually asked if I was scared and not to be because his wife was back at their van too (where I was to go get the cash).
Well. I’m around to write this comment (now 38) but I have to say, when I called my parents that night, so pleased that someone thought I was such a nice girl, I deserved to be given money, they FREAKED out and told me he was probably a human trafficker.
Thank God I came from a middle class household with sufficient money and a good job working for the French gov. So many girls, who were poorer would have taken the bait out of genuine need for money.
Edit: Some folks have interpreted from my story that I was 100% naive back then. Though broad day light sex trafficker grooming was not on my radar, I was super safety conscious in other ways. Way more so than all the girls I knew. Things I was doing to stay safe:
1) Never sharing drinks and walking around bars and parties covering the top of my cup, always. (To avoid being drugged). I seriously looked like a weirdo walking and dancing with cup 100% covered.
2) Only walking in well lit areas.
3) Never getting drunk because that would allow anyone to take advantage of me.
4) Avoiding areas where creepy men congregated. There where a couple streets I had to pass to get to work and there were a bunch of creepy Algerian men who loitered around. I started covering my hair to present as a Muslim woman, so that they would leave me alone.
5) Never trusted any men we met at bars or discos. I constantly counselled the other girls not to go make out with these guys they’d meet.
6) Walked at night with my keys in my fist so that if I had to hit someone, I could stab them in the eyes with my keys.
7) Learned self defence to be able to get away from an attacker.
8) Walked around with a “don’t mess with me”, strong energy. I learned from Oprah that kidnappers go for the easiest victims so exuding tough energy makes you less likely to be grabbed.
My point is that even for a girl following all the safety rules, I was still not expecting what he did. Nobody was talking about sex trafficking 15 years ago. Still, I tell ppl this story all the time so they can tell their loved ones. Ppl don’t assume it plays out this innocently, which is the beauty of the scam!
Oh damn! What an experience!
You should have remembered their licence plates, and afterwards informed the police. Who knows who they have approached next.
Kuddos to your parents for stepping in! Unfortunately, it's the "nice" traffickers that tend to be the most crafty. They try to be a friend, boyfriend, mentor etc. before luring in victims.
No,they won't.Maybe if they were stupid like you,chatting yo creeps for 30 min.
yeah nice story but what is the truth ? fucking science fictional crap
This is not a foreign problem, it's everywhere.
Who said it was?
They won’t expose the identities of the customers and owners simply because its sexual freedom. Y’all wanted equal rights with homosexuals and man haters and bombed the Middle East to pay for these freedoms. Congrats!

It's actually despicable how unsupportive and inconsiderate some families are by shunning their abused family members instead of aiming their anger at the abusers and helping their daughter recover and rebuild herself.
Thank you for clarifying the difference between abused, trafficed girls vs professionals who make their own decisions.
This video portrays it as though a high proportion are trafficked, but only about 5% are.

“Footballers and politicians”… says it all!
Cause they are all have tons of cash. Not a big deal for them.
i really appreciate that they made it very clear that they were not against the sex workers themselves, but the fact that they were being trafficked and forced against their will.
Not really, if you use your (otherwise good and important) anti-trafficking work to advocate for the nordic model, you're just advocating for laws that inevitably lead to more violence and marginalisation towards sex workers
@@mooreanonumbers less women are prostituted and less prostitutes are murdered in countries that adopt the Nordic model.
These people advocating the Nordic model don't care one damn about sex workers its just pretence
@@neilnelmar8007 Really? Because it's organizations that work with victims of the sex trade who push for the Nordic Model. Women under the Nordic Model are subject to less violence, and are far less likely to be trafficked in the first place (e.g. The Netherlands, which has full legalization has 3x as many prostitutes as neighbouring Sweden. 85% of those women in The Netherlands are trafficked. Which means they're being r***.
Men just want to justify r*** women.
It’s just speculation based on this video that they are trafficked here!

Ok so where can I see the actual investigation and not just the video of them talking about the investigation.
I didn't really get much information here other than "sex trafficking is happening in London." Yea, we already knew that. Can we get some names? Addresses? Get a high powered politician in an interview to answer some tough questions?

The amount of corrupted inhumane people who see women as nothing but toys that should be used “how they’re meant to be used” are way too much. Those purchasing for prostitutes and keeping them locked up deserve way worse than being in prison.
@@priwithap actually people know and don't care, it's a sick world at least sometimes seriously! you can have a person abusing a family member in the worst way and the rest of the family denies or blocks it out. people are good like that they will ignore or be indifferent to others sufferings, until it happens to them and then they'll curse humanity.
@@quota3734 amen you speak the truth
Getting sucked into being a sex slave doesn’t just happen to naive or ignorant foreigners. My girlfriend from high school was very pretty and was a cheerleader in college and even for an NFL team. While she was cheerleading in the NFL she met a man who she thought she was dating but really he was just getting her hooked on drugs (they’d go out drinking and he spiked her drink then got her to take drugs while she was loopy). After a couple weeks he turned her into a “high class escort”. She slept with at least 5 men a day at $1,000 a pop which she saw none of. The only compensation she received were the expensive clothes purses & jewelry she needed to pull off the look needed to attract wealthy men. Sadly she went through this for almost 5 years. The only thing that got her out of it was meeting and falling in love with one of her customers who she’s now married to. She makes it look like she’s really happy and living the life of her dreams because her husband is wealthy and she can have anything she wants but I suspect she’s still traumatized and living in that mindset bc she’s married to someone who used to be a “customer” and who’d pay her pimp to sleep with her several times a week. I don’t know what I can do for her or if she even needs me to do anything for her but whenever I think about what she’s been through I feel sick and I can’t help but look at her husband as someone who victimized her and as someone who is very slimy and amoral. He’s a well known businessman where I live and has a lot of money and power and claims to be Christian and a crime fighter etc. but he does drugs and hires escorts on a regular basis. Sometimes I wish I could just move away from here and forget the whole thing.
Wait a damn minute he still hires escorts after getting married? Man.... She probably is still married to him bec this life is better than sleeping with 5 man a day where she didnt even get the money properly. But seriously such a sad situation. This is one big reason i dont trust people easily especially as a girl its very imp for safety. Since both my parents work from a young age they have taught me quite well about this stuffs uk not talking to strangers n stuffs.
Well in reality you can not save no one that dosen't want to be saved. Pray for her and if your a friend be her friend which is a person she can vent to have fun with etc. You don't have to like her husband but he did save her God only knows where she would be if they didn't get married. In my opinion even tho am sure she needs healing from what she went through it kinda of the " pretty women movie" her husband rescued her. So be happy for her most end of in very harsh situations and death.
She couldve left. All i hear is excuses
Why are you sharing a girl you dated in HIGH SCHOOL personal Information in the comments of a RUclips video?? Why would you need to move she’s the one who’s lived a life of trauma. You’re not a victim in this situation Jesus 😭
@@psychomaia dude the guy didnt reveal her name or anything he is just saying a situation related to this video so probably others can get more insight about this kind of situation .
Since we're talking about Europe in this case, I think the whole European Union should create a special police that's only responsible to tackle down the human traffic, there are also many Italian women being taken as sex slaves to Switzerland against their will so the problem is very wide and involves many countries.
do u know how much that’ll cost. a police department for diff types of crime. dumb idea lol
Lol
what? I have never heard of italian women being traficked against their will
Sadly most countries can’t focus (or maybe worse don’t care) to help. It’s really f*cked up tho this kind of problem isn’t taken more serious.
It's long overdue for sex work to be legalized and regulated. Take this industry out of the hands of criminal gangs. Empower the workers, give them rights.
Olivier, it almost feels as if we haven't evolved since the victorian era
more like take the industry out of amateur criminals and put it in the hands of career criminals lol
Its legalized and regulated in germany and it made the sex trafficing problem only worse.
@@mr.x4001 Where's the evidence of that? It's more difficult to detect in countries where prostitution is illegal.
@@mr.x4001 How so? Have the working conditions improved, worsened or stayed the same?
I've never actually said this before to anyone but I was in-between relationships for a bit too long so visited a prostitute in London and it was the most tragic experience of my life. The poor girl had "King Darius" tattooed on her chest which I assumed was her pimp. She was Eastern European and absolutely beautiful but so sad, you can tell she's seen and been through so much despite her being only 19/20. She'd definitely been trafficked and I couldn't go through with sex, instead just asking for a quick back massage before leaving and she actually seemed thrilled to do it for a change. When I left she shot me this look with her eyes that I can still see in my mind to this day. It was like saying "help me" but then she looked down and closed the door. I still think about that girl from time to time and get sad, I highly doubt she's in a good place.
Once I left I bought a large bottle of gin, got really drunk and blacked out. Sad evening for all involved. They need to decriminalise prostitution but ban brothels and pimps. Let the escorts take control of the industry and govern their own bodies while looking out for eachother.
Prostitution is legal in the UK as is it is in like roughly half the countries as of 2021.
@@spicychad55 it may be legal but often how the girls get there isn't legal.
@@theprince1795 Trafficking happens regardless. Slavery is still a thing outside sex industry too. At least if it's legal, the girls can go to authorities and won't be scared of jail time.
That's so sad and I've got nothing but respect for you Geoffrey. I feel traumatised just reading about that whole situation.
Good on you kid.
This is so deplorable! Sex exploitation happens here in London. I met a homeless man in Camden who was also offering to sell sex. He does not have enough methadone from the services available. This is a society that does not value human thriving.
Here in Norway it is illegal to pay for sex, but it is legal to sell sex.
This may not make sense, but the goal is to protect women who sell sex that might be victims of trafficking.
If victims want to come out they should not have to be affraid of the law and police to punish them, but helping them.
It makes perfect sense.
Criminalizing prostitution just puts the victim in jail.
Nobody ever went out and paid for sex against their will. The person being coerced is always the prostitute in these transactional crimes.
@@maxpulido4268 That’s the idea if anyone caught buying prostitute in Norway the buyer get punished with a fine.
The seller walks away with no charges because they did nothing wrong.
No, it does not make sense, unless you see it as some kind of zero sum 4D moral chess game. The Nordic model has proven time and time again to be a terrible policy for sex workers. It means they are stuck with clients who are fine breaking the law, maintains them in a legal grey area, maintains all the stigma against sex work and sex workers(which is often the #1 issue for sex workers if you actually are interested in talking to them rather than using them as a moral pawn), and still puts them under heavy legal and criminal scrutiny(a pretty big deal when a lot of the people who assault sex workers are cops rather than clients).
@@asianinnorway1475 So what did the buyer do wrong exactly?
@@4evahodlingdoge226 Buy sex is illegal wrong or right is up for debate.
The reason why is because buyer could potensial have sex with minor or girls under 16 that is illegal.
And we never know if the girls want to do this or are under duress.
There are secret brothels in every major city. The thirst demand is real strong
Yay thats why we need Elfs like tem Hussein on the job
Because the price that most women choose to charge is higher: expensive restaurant dinners, flowers, jewellery etc.

I used to be a stripper in Miami, and this is exactly what girls would do to customers. They would take “drunk guys” to the champagne room, and the bouncer will charge them every 30 minutes. Guys would be so wasted they would lose track of time and could be in there for hours… The whole time the bouncer has the credit card
Imagine being a stripper tho
A fool is born every minute, some end up in strip clubs drunk
This is also similar to the plot in "Hustlers", the stripper movie staring Jennifer Lopez

I remember in 2017 I came out from a strip clinic in central and this African taxi driver took us to a brothel and me and my friends thought it was a joke or something but I’ve never felt so bad after I saw the women lined up, one of them was even nearly my mums age. All of them we’re from Brazil.

It is sad that most of the girls are from eastern Europe. I can tell you that in Romania there were so many cases when the girls called for help and they could have been saved but the police did nothing to help them. Girls that called the police and they were being told to end the call because they were keeping the line occupied or girls that went to the police stations for help beaten and hurting and the police kicked them out because they said that they were drugged. It is not normal what is happening. Obviously many girls are from these kind of countries when the authorities are scared to help. So I am asking you: how can we help these girls if the police does not care? How can we save these girls if there are even some cops that are involved in such things?
Vigilantism. It might sound superficial but it's not impossible. There will be bloodshed and it's quite probable that you're going to be labelled: a criminal. The whole world might never know the true story and everyone may hate you. It's a life that is pitiful but eventually, you die with a smile on your face. I'd rather die as a criminal who saved lives than a hero who killed innocent lives. One day, I promise, I will save at least one life. One day...
Where are the men,? among the victims, one might be the daughter,sister, niece,even the wife? Everyone overthrew the government, crack down all people involved, trial with highest punishments, cleanse the government and environment like gangs directly. Change the system for better protections. This is the only way to go, no hope to bet on politicians who could be even spotted for taking bribes form the gangs ,may be they even enjoyed the young women before shipping to other countries. Everyone is afraid to die, even those gang members, if they know they have the risk of being counter-killed too, they won't do it easily like that. In USA, not much rogues dare to commit home robbery at states like Texas, California, because they know the risk is much higher than betting the coin faces.
Stay out of nail and , pedicure places. That's a start. I definitely don't go there.
@@ursulasmith6402 what does that have to do with anything?
Nothing can be done legally, what you can do if you have a lot of money is that you can buy weapons and become a bounty hunter. Go as a customer and gain as much information as needed, threaten to kill the family of those pimps who will reveal information and then go after the big guys, ofcourse this is a very big and unsafe thing to do not to mention puting your own life in danger but if not this, then what ?
P.S. I am not talking this because I have watched taken. It has nothing to do with that movie. The police sideline these criminals, they will definitely look sideways if you kill those goons, makes their lives easier.
I worked with many NRI IT workers over ten years. About 50 to 60 percent were visiting brothels. I know this because they would openly talk about it and say it was a normal thing for a guy to do. They were educated men from good families, unconcerned with whether the women had been trafficked.
So gross, the disgusting behavior people tell themselves is "normal" to get away with it.

@@prasantpandey4057 nah, actually ran and owned by hindus
They're really stumbling at the end to find some positive upside to this story. They said something in the end about how this story might help criminalize the purchasing of sex, basically putting men in prison for consensual sex with liberated sex workers, as though that has any relevance to sex trafficking. But running brothels and human trafficking, the activities depicted in the story, are already illegal in the UK. The police could act immediately and shut these operations down by enforcing the laws already on the books. Clearly, there don't need to be new laws - the government needs to enforce the ones that already exist. Isn't it obvious the people running these operations are criminals who will continue to get away with crimes because their clients include powerful people, who are by definition above the law? It's pretty naïve.
right society is sad and has been for a long time...if some rich jerk can buy someone's body then i can take some of their stuff because i wanted their stuff what's the difference
I think the point is a lot of the time when those who are trafficked, abused or even voluntary sex workers who are assaulted go to the police to report these ongoings they are simply arrested for soliciting prostitution then nothing is done about the sex trafficking ring or the person who assaulted them. Legalising prostitution would free these women up to go to authorities without fear of being imprisoned and nothing happening to the culprit. If you make prostitution legal and keep trafficking illegal it makes it a lot easier for people to go to the authorities. But then there’s always the chase the police will still do nothing. Always a chance that Kit Malthouse the policing Minister also takes out services from these types of people and doesn’t want anything to happen to the sex trafficking rings he partakes in
@@cainhassan3431 it's already legal in the UK. What's illegal is to open up a brothel.

Governments are part of the problem.
@@cakepudding3220 100% true. Nothing runs smoothly without the blessing of the big boss government
I think the best way to combat this kind of unimaginable abuses is legalization and mandatory counseling for the people involved in the trade, as well as collecting taxes from the Johns for social services to help people exit when they chose to as well as a special pension found for these women. But to do that, they would have to maintain the privacy of the clients, otherwise, they will still go to the underground.
This is why I hate popular media/internet depictions of sex trafficking it’s not men jumping out of bushes and kidnapping women it’s ppl who build relationships and trust with their victims and lure them under false pretenses such as being a maid abroad or yes even agreeing to some kind of sex work yet when they get there the work and/or conditions are MUCH different than what they agreed to and they have no way of escaping due to violence or threats against them or loved ones.

Yes, I want to help them, please send me their address and rates. Thnks.
*The sad reality is prostitution and human trafficking would never end because people sitting at the higher positions make it happen smoothly*
I love how all we could do at this point is to complain. Because there is nothing we could do, the politicians have all the power.
Is it weird that they didn't blur the original source and then at the end essentially say he is still sending them information?
Really weird
how do we fix this when it's the people in power ensuring the industry's survival.... it's sickening in the worst way
listen to sex workers. decrim
This is heartbreaking 💔
Just horrible....Hats off to the team for pulling together this daring act!
Bring back the death penalty for traffickers
The death penalty is too good for people like this. Collect the set so the victims can see their families are no longer in danger then offer each victim (or a chosen representative) ten minutes alone with them per year of abuse. If they survive they'll probably want to be dead after that.
No, i got a better idea, send these traffickers to an American Prison so they will know what r4pe feels like.
Castrate them
@@watisoninata5150 That won't prevent them from fvcking...
@@Aima952 10 minutes alone with the trafficer so they get rxped again? What are you on about?
Kudos to vice news journalist who are exposing these places and giving voice to the victims
Its absolutely disgusting what them woman go through, thankyou for exposing what is happening to them.
For equatable I wud choose well formed and informed sex therapist than an overmoralizer any day
Why are porn, strippers, sex scenes and OnlyFans allowed but prostitution isn't? I don't understand the hypocrisy. You either ban or allow all of them.
Man Lucy really said it In the beginning. Millions are made from these women. And these women's aren't seeing any of that. Respect she understands some women only see a way to make money and doesn't judge at all.
When people like that are engaging with it instead of protecting them then absolutely nothing is going to change it's only going to get worse
The home secretary probably uses these brothels, so he won't decriminalise it!
Hate when people talk like they’re against the situation but a smiling/grinning it definitely sends a mixed message
Legalize sex work and you'll reduce this. It will never go away but by keeping it illegal, you allow pimps and gangs to have a monopoly on this business. Break their business.
Same with weed and drugs in general, just look at Portugal as a case study
@@markpalmercomedy It's also illegal to advertise or solicit. Also, brothels are illegal.
Ok, libtard.
You must be a virgin to think legalistion will solve the problem
@@markpalmercomedy Brothels aren't legal. It's like legalizing weed but banning weed stores.
when reporters are more efficient than police force.. sigh
"Tam kept the guy's number" 🤣🤣🤣 of course he did - for investigative journalism 😉.
Still getting texts to this day.
As long as the demand exists, there will be a market to supply it. Even if you do criminalise it (to any level), people will find a way.
Prostitution is OK as long the person doing it consents to it: sex trafficking and being forced to do it is not OK.
Exactly so.
what part of its interlinked dont you understand ...
How do you know the woman you are passing the money to gets to keep it.
How do you know if that woman was tricked/trafficked.
How do you know if she does not have sex with you, she will beaten, gang raped and starved.
Now tell me prostitution is ok, when FBI figures say that 82% of prostitutes are drug addicts or trafficked!
@@wildnfree101 ok many people who had worked as an escort are not Drug Addicts.
@@catchmeifyoucan1095 That is not the way to go about things in life, you can use a kitchen knife to kill people. Does it mean selling knives should be illegal?
Is so sad that the gouverment don’t do nothing against this. But probably some of them are regular clients
It’s legalised in Australia, why not the UK?
What's the address of these brothels so I can make sure to avoid calling in accidentally.
"Criminalising the purchasing of sex" still harms sex workers, and most sex workers with agency are against this. It's called the Nordic Model and 2 mins of internet research or a conversation with SW activists would have shown this easily. Do-gooder journalists using the bodies of sex workers for their careers, without actually consulting SWers.
Indeed, criminalizing will push the practice even more underground and into the hands of clandestine criminal groups. In Switzerland sex work is legal and regulated, and this reduced the real problem which is trafficking, not prostitution.
nooooooobody cares
@@SIGSEGV1337 Go to your room and let the adults speak
@@SIGSEGV1337 the priviledge of thinking something isn't a problem because it doesn't concern you 🙄
I think you missed the point. Currently in the UK it's actually legal to pay someone for sex however it's illegal to accept money in exchange for sex. The current laws discriminate heavily against the SWs.
itv have great documentaries sad they never put them on youtube
This is sad thank you for showing me this
Thank you for this work.
Why would a random guy approach a journalist and then work with him to expose sex trafficking? I don’t get it??
Because he didn’t realize it was, he thought those girls chose to be there
@@quota3734 cos he's brown so needs hooker
You all guys working great job.
Government officials, politicians and police officers get their share of the pie under the table, so don't hope to end this epidemic by reporting about it or filing court cases. Civilians need to gather around and act vigilantly. Otherwise, it will never end in practice, only on paper
Why would the authorities want to help? They're probably regulars at these places
This is happening all over the world. Tourist locations especially...
Idk man sex industry is good and well in japan, they're so fine that they're suing the government because their industry didn't get the corona relief package hahaha
Wild love these documentaries yall r doing ppl need to kno what's happening out in the world
She said we need to criminalise it by telling the people in charge who go to brothels to criminalise it 💀
They show the guys face at 1:21 , the highly educated guy who they say is stuck in the business... Ain't that dangerous to expose him like that if they are dealing with violent gangs ?
I think that was a reenactment with someone else. Cause he was approached like that before the investigation and there video started.
@@h2t26 I would hope so, but even if that's the case why blur the other guy in the video?
imagine how many brothels there are in thailand
Brothels are everywhere theirs sum around me I’m Georgia
A lot but most brothels in Thailand are legalized
@@cryptobuzz1680 Brothels are illegal in Thailand.
If people are demanding it, then regulating the industry is the first thing to do.
sex and drugs have been around for centuries. leave it be
My borough in London is rife with this. Its awful.
I just don't get how you could know (innocent bystander just living where you do) but the police don't when they supposedly have so much intelligence on what happens anywhere... That's what's weird.
I actually feel very angry watching this and knowing that such evil things happen in this world. I 100% blame the useless romanian authorities. they dont even know how to clamp down on this. their romanian police most likely get screwed by the mafia.
Well real power is money not authorities
Said the english from the Islamic Caliphate of Britanistan!🤣🤣🤣 Meanwhile, your useless police is ruled by sharia gangs all over "your" rotten so-called "kingdom"! You better take a look at your own misery, before talking about others!🤡
It's quite clear that this is never going to stop. The only chance society has is to 'clean it up' and protect the vulnerable by legalising and 'policing' it.
I genuinely don’t understand how people think making it illegal to purchase sex would help when this activity is already illegal and still happening.
@@Smiley957 sometimes it looks like that there is not enough police? because how can a journalist found this out, but the police can not? what they are doing right now? why the judiciary power does not punish those people? deport? it is sick, so many questions...
Thank you for all of your hard work. 🙏
Damn, up to 30 🍆 a night against their will?? That's saddening
Are we not going to talk about the guys ears, wow I couldn’t stop looking at them 😂
I was searching for this comment 😅
It's so sad that these women are treated so badly 😔 💔 knowone should haft to go through what theses woman have had to go through.
I find it funny when some say that if prostitution is legalized then there will be less traficking, i watched a DW documentary that showed european countries where protitution is legal has quite insane numbers of traficking, it changes nothing n possibly makes it worse
This exists EVERYWHERE, not just London. I see it all over on the United States.
How did he get in and out of that place without doing what he paid for, or did he actually have to go through with it?
Not all clients want sex.
1:04 ironic .. i was saying a few weeks ago to a lady who was badly screwed over by a Daily Mail reporter in the early eighties, that all of the press tend to avoid criticising each other cos they all drink in the same pubs, attend the same awards ceremonies and are always on the lookout for a job with a rival outlet..
"And" she said "in my experience - all turn up at the same brothels" ..
I remember seeing similar docs in the early 90s, this is hardly new or revealing, fact of the matter is that little has changed in 30 years.
People who make the law always break the law. And than make new law.
I LOVE Vice's investigating videos
Can someone give me the address of these brothels am trynna do my own investigation
The media needs to name & expose the identities of the users... especially the politicians, because it is those "leaders" who can make a difference through laws & influence at a government, police & law court level.
Thank you vice, it must be difficult knowing where and what's wrong and not reporting it to the police.
I will have to think of a way to deter this problem, because although it's wrong it's the oldest profession and its not necessarily the hookers that are wrong it's more the pimps. But even still I hear its legal in Italy and they have prostitutes walking freely about and it's legal within a licensed premises in Oz and Thailand prostitutes are all over of both sexes.
This requires some serious thought.
It's been 2 weeks, have you thought of a way to deter this problem?
Legalize and regulate. That is the solution.
There are countries where they have sex workers unions. That is the goal.
Let the police focus on the horrible people, and leave the customers a clean regulated option.
And please, life in prison for human traffickers.
This is really Sad😥
Prostitution should be legal and regulated and make it safer for the women
