Truck Stop Prostitution * USA - Far from victimless crime

.,. “even when there are no complaints [about prostitution] it’s still an issue; it’s an issue all across the United States [involving] runaway teens and drug addicts. That’s why they’re there [at truck stops]"...

Little Rock,ARK,USA -The Trucker, by DOROTHY COX -5 Dec 2008: -- ... But after talking a scant few minutes on his CB, Scott has located a young woman who can connect him with some “commercial company”... And then a girl who calls herself Stacey asks languidly if the cops are gone. She intermittently fades in and out on the CB, bantering with drivers in a sexy tone... After about 15 minutes Stacey is back on the CB, her signal louder and stronger than before. She’s ready to do "business" and asks Scott to tell her where his truck is... Then another trucker gets on the channel and offers to direct Stacey our way. Some truckers are ready to help prostitutes, Scott says, because they view their “business” as a type of free enterprise and they view prostitution as a victimless crime... Sgt. Terry Kuykendall, public information officer for the North Little Rock, Ark., police, says in his experience, truck stop prostitution nearly always involves runaways and drugs, especially drugs. “One way or another it all relates back to drugs,” with the drug of choice being either crack cocaine or methamphetamines, he told The Trucker... "No one knows exactly how pervasive truck stop prostitution is, but Kuykendall says “even when there are no complaints [about prostitution] it’s still an issue; it’s an issue all across the United States [involving] runaway teens and drug addicts. That’s why they’re there [at truck stops]"... Scott tells of male and female college students who get on the CB advertising for specific sexual services so they can make a lot of money in a short amount of time... But it is newbie driver Sarah Cleveland, 25, of Fort Worth, Texas, who was really steamed about the prostitute activity she witnessed first-hand. Cleveland, who is married to 22-year-old driver Anthony Cleveland, says when she was undergoing her second three-week stint of training to get her CDL her trainer kicked her out of the truck twice so he could be with a prostitute, once in Seattle and once in Iowa. “And he [the trainer] was married with three kids,” she says, adding that the trainer was heavy into pornography. “He only trained women,” she notes...
