The free speechers for Child Porn are likeing their US constitutional rights over humanity. That is the problem we are all now facing in Hawaii. We cannot legalize Child Porn in Hawaii, instead we must protect our people from these atrocities.
When our houseless Na Kanaka hit the streets these are just one of this industry quick grabs. Our children are raised with love and care and really, we forgot to mention the 'dirty old man' that lives down the street. They are sometimes called 'uncles' or mistaken for leaders.
It was heartbreaking for me to have a conversation with Joshua age five about his little friend who is also five years old. There was a time we thought she was going to be adopted out of Hawaii and away from all her hanai family. In my heart and mind I know that an African Born in Hawaii girl child from Waianae did not have a chance in Hawaii's Foster system. Joshua and his hanai family are celebrating that she is home in the arms of her mother. I've been in close communication with mother since her daughter was taken away.
Life can be rough out here in Waianae and the conditions do cloud the judgements of 'career corporate minded persons' that gain promotions and lots of grant monies. I am sure they're many real reasons for CPS to remove children from an unsafe family, however, not in this case. It was touch and go for awhile, and heart breaking to dance on the edge for almost two years. The 'State' can take children away and adopt them out to strangers on the Continent of the US. That is why we need Human Trafficking laws in Hawaii. We are one of Five that don't have these protected laws.
Human trafficking is real and easy to cross the in human treatment of females in Hawaii regardless of age. Minority women are vulnerable especially if they are African American. There is much to learn when it comes to the different levels of income for poverty in Hawaii is big Business for a lot of corporatons that seem to be programs in need, however, are drawn into the deep abyss of Human Trafficking. I could say more, but for now I am going to stop.
So if you can please give it some thought about stopping this insanity!
A federal grand jury has indicted a Honolulu man and woman on charges they operated a sex-trafficking operation that involved women and children and advertised their services on the Craigslist Web site.
Rodney D. King, 43, was charged with five counts of sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion and one count of conspiracy to defraud the U.S. government. Sharon-Mae Nishimura, 30, is accused of assisting King and was indicted on similar charges.
King, also known as "Shadow" and "Special K," is scheduled to be arraigned in U.S. District Court here on June 29. A warrant has been issued for Nishimura's arrest.
The grand jury indicted the two on May 20, but the indictment was kept under seal until yesterday. If convicted, each faces a prison term of 15 years to life.
Prosecutors allege that King was a pimp who ran a sex-trafficking operation in Honolulu from April 2006 to June 2007. The indictment accuses King of using force, fraud and coercion to engage three women and two girls in his commercial sex operation.
King directed Nishimura to place ads for prostitution involving one of the women and the two girls on Craigslist, using a computer at King's home, the indictment said. King would then arrange for transportation for the females to meet the customers, according to the court document, and directed Nishimura, also known as "Sassy," to collect the fees.
King also is accused of providing a 16-year-old girl with crystal methamphetamine "in order to induce continued compliance" by her with his sex-for-hire operation.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Darren Ching, one of the prosecutors in the case, would not comment on specifics, but said his office will prosecute cases such as this to the fullest. "The U.S. Attorney's office prosecutes sex-trafficking offenses to disrupt these activities and to deter the predatory actions of those who exploit minors and women," Ching said.
In 1999, King pleaded guilty in federal court to arranging for the transportation of a minor to a Waikiki hotel for prostitution. He was sentenced to two years in prison. Last month, he was sentenced to two years in federal prison for violating terms of his supervised release, according to court documents.
