Prostitutes Montgomery

Heather Montgomery’s research questions if child prostitution is sometimes viewed as filial duty, examining morality in child-rearing. Her work in Thailand found communities where child prostitution was culturally accepted. Montgomery Sex Guide lists locations for sex services, including working girls, brothels, and red-light districts.

Enforcement and Operations

In North Long Beach, prostitution occurs visibly near abandoned hotels and gas stations. Montgomery County police frequently conduct stings, recently arresting 10 johns and charging individuals with promoting prostitution. Operations like Cross County target trafficking, with over 100 arrests in past initiatives.

Legal Consequences and Cases

Legal consequences exist: patronizing prostitutes is a third-degree offense in some areas, with offenders facing fines or jail time. Cases involve women held captive for prostitution, like a 21-year-old victim in Montgomery County. Massage parlors sometimes serve as fronts, leading to raids and charges.

Academic Perspectives

Scholars debate whether child prostitutes are child workers. Montgomery argues context matters—in Thailand, children didn’t always see themselves as victims. Her book Modern Babylon? Prostituting Children in Thailand explores this complexity.
