From the Daily News:AS CHILDREN and their parents walked past crowded restaurants on Roosevelt Ave. in Jackson Heights recently, men yelled "Chicas!" and handed out cards with phone numbers and pictures of busty, scantily clad women.
For Kika Cerpa, a woman in her mid-30s, those cards bring back memories of her harrowing ordeal as one of those "chicas."
Cerpa's hellish tale began in 1993, when she was lured from her native Venezuela by a boyfriend who had moved to the U.S.
When Cerpa arrived in the U.S. at age 20, her boyfriend's cousin - a brothel madame - took her passport and her life savings of almost $2,000 and told her she had to pay off her beau's debt. She was taken to a brothel on Roosevelt Ave.
Young women, many of them undocumented immigrants, are being intimidated and blackmailed to work for prostitution rings operating near restaurants, bars and clubs in the neighborhood, community leaders said.
"Once they get here, they are enslaved," said Arnaldo Salinas, a member of the Guardian Angels, which patrols the neighborhood. "I've seen scars...from women beat upon by their pimp."
Out of the 3,260 prostitution-related arrests last year in New York City, about 38% occurred in Queens, more than in any other borough, state Division of Criminal Justice Services statistics show.
There's less street prostitution, but more "deliveries" to locations all over Queens, advocates said.
What a great vibrant and diverse statistic to add to our collection! They also do this kind of thing in Brooklyn.

Schenkler and Nussbaum aren't you ashamed reading this? Haven't you any decency? How about one of your "best of" editions devoted to just Queens whoredom?
The prostitutes in the picture look like men in drag - only an illegal can appreciate that!
Sweep these people up for solicitation and deport them already?
Just what exactly is your point by mentioning "vibrant and diverse" every time there's something negative about Queens?
Heh a 40$ chica surely beats the 45$ massagee and then another 55$ for a "happy" ending. I could care less about how their pimps treat them, times are rough and I need to get the best value for my dollar.

That's not even funny, idiot.
These stories are so horrible!! Put yourselves in these girls' shoes for God's sake! How would like to "service" up to 20 guys a day??
The whole thing is just dispicable.
I've complained to to someone connected to the Queens DA's office about "Obee's Cavern" on Depot Road opposite the Broadway LIRR station.
Nada....as of yet!
There's always a "lookout" posted outside this "room bar or stand bar" (whatever it's called) establishment as there was yesterday Thanksgiving eve....about midnight....when I was returning from Manhattan.
Scantily clad women are ushered into black Lincoln limos by a pimp(?) and driven off somewhere.
The Koreans are apparently in the "whore-to-your-door" business too!
They're skimming their "take" off the top "George".
It's high time to crack that Ackerman/Shenckler/Nussbaum newspaper sex circle.
Nussbaum's "Shanghai Entertainment" company is a good place to start uncovering clues to bring them all down!
Are you federal boys following any of this?
Or are you getting some sexual favors thrown your way to dummy up?
How'd you like to be an enslaved $40 "chika" getting butt fucked mister?
Unless you've got a vagina or opt to shut your mouth for a moment and take it there!
Stupid ass...there's 30 dirty horny men standing in line just waiting for you!
Wham....bam!
Have a great day at work!
Alright, tone down the rheteric.
This should be handled as pioneered by that great doyenne of Queens civics, Dutch Kills Civic.
Its only out there because you talk about it. If you don't publically discuss problems, they just go away.
Yes, you heard that right. You just stop talking about issues, and the problem disappears!
Developers can them come in because the community is now safe!

brilliant idea. no wonder they are held in high esteem by queens civic congress. they make boro hall look good.
QCC loves them because they send development away from NE Queens into the wild west.
I'm starting to think that the crew at the Tribune may have had their lives or their family members' lives threatened if they stop running the classified sex ads. Could that be the case they continue running them? What really is going on at the Tribune?
if they are breaking the law, deport them instead of crying for them. if they are going to be prostitutes, they should do it in El Salvador, Mexico, Guatamala, etc. Deport the Korean pimps/madams/bar owners too.
You will find out that they have anchor babies, ie jack pot babies are getting every known NYC government benefit. The same women selling their asses go into the grocery stores with big handfuls of WIC coupons and food stamps.
legalize this already so it doesn't have to be prosecuted - license, regulate and tax the industry
I used to be one of the legalize crowd--but there is one problem--white slavery.
With apologies to African Americans, this term was invented to remind us that prostitution can include the recruitment of minors followed by gang-raping to break down resistance.
In the case of many new immigrants, the so-called factory job, means being part of a completely different type of production line.
"legalize this already so it doesn't have to be prosecuted - license, regulate and tax the industry"
Never gonna happen! My friends named Mike will lose their shirts!
Forget about legalizing it..
A better solution would be guys not be pigs and feel the need to BUY sex.
Be normal and get a relationship already.

Not if it's legal - then your license would be in jeopary if you hired illegals - hence the regulation part.
And primmdonna, why not have a relationshsip and get a little on the side as well? variety is the spice of life...
And by variety, do you mean catching an STD as well???
And why be in such an unfulfilling relationship if you need to get "a little on the side"? What's missing in your life?
Feeling horny? Then rent a porno for goodness sake! But I suspect you probably have a secret stash somewhere. ;)

Maybe she wants it in the front and not on the side?
My dear, you have to read the whole quote about legalized slavery. The "production line" crack was a delicate way of referring to running a guantlet of perverts and disease-carriers every day.
This kind of production line is illegal at all times in every state, but is also an historic source of police corruption and "the pad." Hence, this production line runs night and day.
Please pay attention. Referring to such lurid and horrid processes as abduction and gang-rape should have been the tip-off that I was not talking about a real factory.
please try to imagine this happening to one of your children. Is America really that heartless?Are we really that cruel to just turn our backs and look the other way without even making an attempt to help? For those of you who who thinks this is funny, then I say that you are a coward, not worthy to be an American.
We do attempt to help, that's why it's called a crime and the police investigate.
Hey, if this wasn't a sanctuary city, it wouldn't be as easy to get away with this shit. But God forbid we should cut the problem off at the knees.
Just what exactly is your point by mentioning "vibrant and diverse" every time there's something negative about Queens?
The question should be, "Just what exactly is the newspapers' point by mentioning "vibrant and diverse" every time there's something written about Queens?

For a Republican hating liberal you sure sound a lot like the religious right. Live and let live, what two or more consenting adults do shouldn't be illegal.

----------------------------------
Fuck off femininazi. Everyone has a solution to a problem that DOES NOT INVOLVE them.
Fail to see what the problem is with having a relationship. It's what our society is based on and if it were so bad then gays wouldn't be fighting for the right to marry. I agree with Primadonna, prostitutes are for pigs.
"For a Republican hating liberal you sure sound a lot like the religious right."
I've never heard the religious right advocate for porn use.
"For a Republican hating liberal you sure sound a lot like the religious right. Live and let live, what two or more consenting adults do shouldn't be illegal."
What YOU fail to understand is that many women, I should say young girls, are FORCED into hooking. THAT is despicable. If you defend prostitution, you are obviously a customer. Does it turn you on knowing the girl sucking your d--k will get the sh#@ kicked out of her if she doesn't?
If guys weren't such horny jerks maybe this problem wouldn't exist, now would it? How would you like to be dragged to another country and start servicing men up to 20 a day? Not a pretty picture is it? You can say the same for some strip clubs. Some of the girls are FORCED to be there. I have a problem with that and so should you.
Femininazi? Cool. I like that.
And "religious" and "right" are two words that would never describe me.
Thanks Crappy.
I created Man to be horny.
I Cor 6:17-20
But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him. Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's.
A small glimpse into the hell..

breaking the law!!! deport them with their families. then we won't have overcrowded schools and illegals apartments..
and they said AIDS is up again with blacks and spanish,hmm wonder why..
So the ugly women who are illegal aliens, are prostitutes, a profession that is against the law. They are serving illegal aliens as well. 3 statutes and or crimes are being committed. Arrest these women already, get them off the streets - deport them immediately with no chance of ever coming back here, period.
It's pretty PATHETIC to have to PAY for it. Sleezy plain and simple!!! And for these pigs to think that those girls actually enjoy it, SHAMEFUL!!! To all you Johns out there, what your really doing is RAPE!!!!!
a few thougths:
- most if not all prostitutes do it willingly. from the ones charging 30 bucks a quicky to the ones charging thousands of dollars per hour.
- prostitution allows women to make a high income quick and ease compared to what they can earn in a regular job.
- a couple of hundred of dollars in a few hours of work sounds much better than 50 bucks for working 13 hours in a restaurant kitchen
- craigslist mid range of sex pros is 175 dollars per hour. not bad considering that many of them work independently and even have regular clients
- licensing would be a good idea. licenses are expensive, hard to get and easy to loose. they bring regulation and a lot of tax money to use in whatever is god for the community.
- regulation would fight "slavery" if any
- usually regulation of anything comes with an increase in the severity of penalties in case of violation of the regulations
- a woman should have the right to decide what she wants to do with her body or not.
- sex tourism would bring a lot of money to the city
- non regulated sex workers dont ask for id when serving. it allows minors to have access to them
- the so called "prostitutes" in the picture are probably drags standing outside a club in roosevelt and 82nd st.
I have seen a thousand times, never have they approach me or have seeing them offering services in the sidewalk. it seem to me like they are taking fresh air and smoking in some cases. do they offer services inside the club, I dont know.
- is a reality that most prostitution is marketed through the internet
- if a man is willing to pay for sex and a woman is willing to take his hard earn money and giving it to him. thats their problem is not like they having sex in the street in public
- the demmand is what creates the supply
.38 should alleviate the problem.
