    In the U.S., Korean-operated massage parlors that provide commercial sex in urban
    areas around the United States. The Polaris Project has worked extensively with law
    enforcement in regard to the Korean networks both in the DC region and around the
    country. The following statistics represent typical yearly income for a medium-sized
    massage parlor/brothel, although often the income for a brothel may be significantly
    higher. A small percentage of this income is often reported by the massage parlor
    owner to the government, but the majority is usually not reported. $160/session x 5
    customers x 4 women = $3200/day; $3200/day x 365 days = $1,168,000.00/year22

    Networks of residentially-based brothels primarily operated by and for recent
    immigrants from Latin America are maintained in many urban areas in the United
    States. A number of Federal sex trafficking prosecutions have been brought against
    operations in these networks, including in Florida, New Jersey and Texas. The follow
    statistics represent typical yearly income for a brothel with three women and
    approximately 25 customers per woman or girl per day. None of this income is
    reported to the government. $30/15 min session x 25 customers/day/woman x 3
    women or girl = $2250.00/day; $2250/day x 365 days/year = $821,250.00/year23

    In the U.S. as well, pimps feel almost untouchable by law enforcement because the majority
    of those arrested are often the victims, not the perpetrators. In most cities in the U.S., less
    than one percent of the prostitution-related arrests are of pimps or exploiters. According to
    statistics obtained from the Chicago police, in District 14, which had 21 percent (the highest
    percent) of the prostitution related arrests in Chicago, over a two year period (2001 and
    2002), 89 percent of the arrests were female victims of commercial sex acts, 9.6 percent were
    male purchasers of commercial sex acts, and .6 percent were pimps.33

    "Networks of residentially-based brothels primarily operated by and for recent

    States"

    "In Las Vegas, there are 120 pages of advertisements for sexual services under the
    heading of "entertainment services" in the yellow pages phone book"

    We as Americans like to hold ourselves to a higher standard, but we are stooping to these same horrific levels. These quotes are just frustrating and disgusting.
