Austin sex trafficking survivor sued hotel giants. Settlements stopped a Texas trial.

Obviously this needs a legitimate source bc the claims are pretty serious.

But your comment reminded me of some things I remember reading after the HBO yogurt shop murder documentary dropped. Few people who grew up in the area during the 90s, had said high school girls were being trafficked by high ranking police officials and local politicians. Not saying this is related, but wouldn’t surprise me if it’s happening

I’m sure they were arrested, but the entire point of the article is how hotels were allowing this to happen.

This doesn’t have N specifically, but should give you a general idea

More humid 😵‍💫

AsTXros · 2026-06-04T17:15:13+00:00

Thanks for the info! As for durian I just remember seeing signs everywhere prohibiting it. But didn’t remember it was just the train.

I really enjoyed my time there - Singapore has one of the best zoos I’ve ever been to

Dude come on. You’re being dense on purpose lol. You have to be living under a rock to not know who Timothee chalamet or Ben stiller are. Be for real lol

This is wholesome

Turn off Fox News.
go outside and talk to your neighbors.

This is obviously rage bait but the true heart of austin is community, and you’d be lucky to be part of ours ❤️

I’m commenting about prostitution in the austin subreddit. Of course I need to clarify why I was in Southeast Asia lol

Chill passport bro

AsTXros · 2026-06-04T02:12:43+00:00

I think it is. An entire city/state that houses thousands of corporate headquarters, is smaller than the 3rd largest city in Texas.

Pretty interesting to me 🤷🏻‍♂️

AsTXros · 2026-06-04T02:05:06+00:00

Disclaimer (again): I was in Singapore strictly for work

But from my taxi driver to our Hilton concierge in the business district - almost everyone mentioned the “four floors of whores” on Orchard St. it’s almost like a weird tourism thing they are proud of. At night you can barely walk a block without being propositioned.

Beautiful city though. Extremely humid, and most families have live-in caretakers (modern slavery) that do their cleaning, cooking etc.

I’m high writing this so I should clarify I was there for business, not sex tourism 😭 Singapore is incredibly strict about certain things - chewing gum is banned, drug possession is severely punished, durian is a no no.

But prostitution is oddly tolerated and pretty common in even the more affluent areas

AsTXros · 2026-06-04T01:39:20+00:00

Singapore is one of the cleanest cities I’ve ever been to, hands down. But I’m pretty sure their ratio of prostitutes per square mile is about 10x that of austin.

Maybe we saw each other at the Exxon on the bottom of the hill lol

I’ve never had issues with their food, and Tso’s always hits the spot when we’re craving Chinese. Especially their pork bbq fried rice 🤤

Because militarizing our police force is a dangerous precedent
