This story is just beyond shocking! In answer to the question the OP posited - yes, it's faaaaar too lenient. Anything short of an actual custodial sentence - and a significant one at that - is a total fucking joke. Sexual exploitation, especially that of a child ffs, is one of the worst things you can to do to a person. Moreover, this seems to have involved a significant amount of pre-planning. Appears to me that she was out looking for vulnerable children from the outset - I mean who the TF has a chance meeting with a 16 year old and ends up getting them into sex slavery "by accident"? If she were a man doing this does anyone seriously think the same sentence would be handed out? I'd guess the only reason the sentence was suspended was that she admitted it.
I'm sure that there is more to this than we're being told in the articles though. It says that most of the punters were ones "assigned" to Georgie but ended up with the young girl instead. That doesn't ring entirely true to me. If they've come via the agency that doesn't make a lot of sense, surely? At least I fail to understand how the agency didn't know that she wasn't seeing the clients herself. Out of seemingly dozens of clients no one left feedback with the agency or anywhere else that it wasn't the girl they'd booked that they'd eventually seen? Or of they did the agency ignored it. No one seems to have left a review on here to that effect either. In addition, not a single one of these guys seems to have had any call to suspect that the lass they were being palmed off with might have been under age? Now, I know that young women are pretty good at looking older then their actual years but, 16 ffs! Out of 30+ punters not a single one appears to have raised the slightest concern that she might have been under age? If I turned up expecting to see Jorgie and she put me with a clearly very young looking lass then alarm bells would be immediately going off in my head - very noisily indeed! Bait and switch is a very common topic here and a B&S like this would have me heading for the door.
I'm suspecting that the majority of these guys actually knew a lot more about the girl Jorgie was pimping to them than is being said here.
These types of stories seem to be becoming more and more frequent and I think I'm seeing a definite shift towards punting becoming a whole lot more dangerous - for those on either side of the transaction; whether it's Romanians being trafficked (or simply scamming); the seeming explosion of nationalities on AW suddenly appearing as if from nowhere - I mean what's with all the girls who are apparently "Brazilian" these days? Is Brazil just the latest country that'll sell you a passport for a few hundred quid so you can make a fake persona?; prossies blackmailing and outing punters; prossies and their pimps following punters in order to rob them, etc, etc. We now get the impression from this debacle that it involved an apparently "respectable" local agency as well. I'd always preferred agencies as I'd always got the impression that they were the safer alternative to AW and suchlike but is that true anymore? Was it ever?
The article mentions that The judge said ...help and intervention will help Walker "get away" from the sex industry. Tyler-Jo though, still has her AW account has been online today and has apparently increased her prices FFS! She's utterly toxic, as far as I can see. Any guy who sees her knowing what she's been convicted of is either a) totally insane or and gives no fucks that she's a convicted child sex trafficker or, b) is probably some seedy fucker who thinks she'll be able to get him children to fuck. I'm guessing that AW probably haven't seen the stories of her conviction but if they have I cannot believe how they can continue to host the profile of a convicted child sex trafficker! If they haven't then they will be soon.
I haven't seen any escort for some time now - Covid, family stuff, etc, etc have prevented it - but I'm seriously reassessing whether I will do in the future. I'm not sure the risk of meeting someone under age or trafficked, or the risk to myself if I get tangled up in such shit, is worth it. Granted, that's easy for me to say as I've had some amazing success on SA and am currently seeing the most stunning lass I've ever met in my life from there. It's hard work finding the right ones on there but I think it carries way less risk than escorts seem to at present.
These are worrying times for all of us, I think.
