It is all over the radio waves that the Police have shut down "The Review Board" and have arrested 12 Men. They claim that the men forced Asian ladies into Prostitution by taking their passports, etc. Been a member for about 20 years. Before, it was just a review board that allowed the ladies to advertise. I think that I have donated about $200 to keep it going over the years.
Seattle Review Board Shut down
- Thread starter daddywarbucks
- Start date
That was one of the first review sites I looked at back in 2001
And was planing my first encounter with some of the girls that advertised there..that was until I found perb and the adds for local girls and agencies.
Most of what I read into it is .they prob won't find anybody them guilty that were running the site..unless they were directly involved and knew actual women that they proved were traficited.
Something like that operation can't be done in canada because our evidence rules are much stricter. .The police can no longer get warrent on hunches or fish expeditions. .And how would a site like perb actually be running prostitutes just because they sell add to them to advertise. .
That would then mean perb was an escort agency..and these day even many of our agencies don't advertis the girls..they soposidly run there own adds. Which they are allowed to do under our laws

The article claims that the police have the names and pictures of thousands who created an account with the web site. How on earth did they get pictures?
Well, EXACTLY! We use the boards to communicate here the exact same thing! I think that many of us paid advertisers here would say we do the research on the hobbyists who post to know who is likely to be a problematic client. If they have a negative, misogynistic viewpoint, for example, they are not likely to be the type of client I enjoy, so I would not knowingly book an appointment. If one is a savvy reader, one can tell a lot about an individual by the way they use language to communicate. That's why I always prefer a clearly worded introductory email/text as opposed to one that's just an acronym and a question mark. Of course, that tells me a lot about what a client values too...
Here's a good reply in the comments: AnastasiaBK said - "These women were victimized. "
How do you know? Only because Urquhart and Satterberg say so. Satterberg also said ata meeting at Seattle's town Hall last fall that if happy sex workers do exist, Satterberg said, he does not know them. As it turns out about a dozen or so happy i ndependent sex workers were in the audience at the time. Many of these the same women who went to the courthouse to protest Satterberg's press conference yesterday.

AnastasiaBK said - "They were not "workers" as your headline suggests. The term "sex worker" was invented by a destructive, voracious, industry to normalize selling human bodies."
The term was first used in the 80's as the title of a book made up of compilations of stories of women in the sex industry. "The first and possibly only book to be reviewed favorably in both The Women's Review of Books and Hustler, Sex Work popularized the term "sex work" to describe the occupations of street prostitutes, exotic dancers, nude models, escorts, porn actresses, and workers in massage parlors, and so changed the way we talk about sex and money. " ~ From Amazon.com. I highly recommend the book.
Urquhart said. “We rescued them from a horrible situation.... An early report into police claimed the women were brought from South Korea and coerced into prostitution to pay off family debt."
I love the way this keeps getting embellished. At first they were just sending money back to the family, then it was family debt and the latest embellishment is crime bosses in Korea are holding these women's families hostage. There is no limit to the way Urquhart and Satterberg embellish the actual facts.
"King County Prosecuting Attorney Dan Satterberg said local law enforcement is not aware of another investigation nationwide that has targeted sex buyers."
Wait a minute, brothels were closed and people who ran brothels were arrested. The leader of "the league", Donald Mueller reportedly told an undercover policeman he made $100 out of every girl's $300/hr fee and averaged $1,500 a day. How does Satterberg twist that into saying he targeted sex buyers? It;s just typical of how what he says just doesn't add up.
Investigators took “the unprecedented step of using a court order to seize the primary website used by the group,” according to a news release.
No, the review board was not owned by the league. the league owned a small web site called k girl delights or something that was also seized. The big board had 10,000 - 20,000 members, but half of those members were women advertising their services. Some of them are probably pimped and or trafficked but many if not most are not as these two independent sex workers said in an earlier KIRO-TV interview:
http://www.kirotv.com/news/news/sex-workers-say-police-seizure-makes-them-less-saf/npy5M/
The bottom line is it is not all as clear cut as anyone can say and yes independent non-pimped, non-trafficked sex workers are being effected in a very harmful way by shutting down a resource for making safe connections regarding sex and money.
I wonder if that board seize can happen to Perb ? If so, then where do we go :fear:

That might be difficult since this web site is apparently offshore.I wonder if that board seize can happen to Perb ? If so, then where do we go :fear:
I have been hobbying in Vancouver for about 16 years now. I can't recall how many different review boards we have had over those years. It has to be 5 or 6.I wonder if that board seize can happen to Perb ? If so, then where do we go :fear:
Where there is a demand, someone will step forward to fill it, even in Seattle.
there are other review boards for usa that includes seattle area, but it does make things more difficult for legit ladies, and gentlemen that partake in this hobby. I am not sure if I am allowed to mention other boards, but feel free to pm me if needing addition information

I wonder why the U.S. boards that have been seized were never moved offshore. I have heard that the board for Ireland is entirely based in Spain
The Seattle board was one way, you write a bad review on any Asian girl even honest and the hounds would either call you out or within a short time someone would write a review to dispute you. It was a fix in a way. Some of the reviews on these Korean girls were beyond belief, just having sex with God or something.
Things like " run to see her before its too late" " if she is gone from here, I don't know what I will do"
