Sex Trade Survivor Reveals the Dirty Truth Behind the Glitz and Glamour of Early Vegas
Jane's life experience in Las Vegas during the '60's
was more than most people will understand. However, this devastation that happened to her,
happens to millions of other children, teens, sisters, wifes, mothers and it damages many families today because
we don't understand how it happened to females who have been abused!
Jane, with her strong will to survive and
bold personality, entertained some of the most rich men in the world.
Blinded by child neglect and molestation,
a cheating husband, rape, poor child custody decisions, abortion, prostitution and a lot of drugs, she survived
and now she wants to tell everyone what happens behind all the glamour of Las Vegas with hope of helping other young
victims and their families understand the blindness that society has for these people.
As I wrote this I realized
her need to survive in the Las Vegas jungle of fantasy is the gutsy tell-tale truth about the men who wanted a smart (morally
corrupted) beautiful fully decked out seventeen year old blond to party with and please them in the bedroom. For a big price she
was in the top 2% of women who were there up close and personal.

We need to adopt the law in Sweden
Under Sweden's so-called "Sex Purchase Law," paying for sex is
punished by fines or up to six months in prison, plus the humiliation of public exposure.
Pimps and brothel keepers are also prosecuted, but not prostitutes, because they are
viewed as victims, treated as commodities in the sex trade.
Selling
sex is not illegal in Sweden, but buying is and this a radical approach to prostitution that faced ridicule when it was
introduced nine years ago.
Now, while Americans are preoccupied
with the downfall of New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer in a prostitution scandal, some countries are considering emulating the Swedish
model, which prosecutes the client but views the prostitute as an exploited victim.
Officials say the changed approach has reduced the demand for prostitutes and reshaped attitudes
toward the sex trade.
She said foreign law enforcement
officials and politicians are coming to Sweden in droves to learn more about its 1999 law.
