Episode 118 - The Modern Day Escort: Featuring Mia Lee

In this episode, Vivian explores three headline-making stories: a Pennsylvania spa exposed as a front for “trafficking,” a former public defender’s dramatic fall from grace, and the shifting policies and politics of sex work in New York City. Together, these cases reveal how law, power, and morality collide in the world’s oldest profession.Vivian also shares her frustration with how government officials continue to use sex work as a political talking point—casting only female sex workers as “victims” while completely leaving male sex workers out of the conversation. Like the majority of sex workers, she reiterates that the only real way to regulate the industry and keep people safe—if safety is truly the concern—is through decriminalization.📖 Read the full articles discussed in this episode:Story 1 – PennLiveStory 2 – Milwaukee Journal SentinelStory 3 – NY1Show Sponsor: CompanionTax.com💖 Support the show on Patreon for just $1/month:patreon.com/tsegp

Farewell to 2024: Gratitude, Growth, and Progress In this final episode of the year, Vivian extends heartfelt thanks to the show’s devoted listeners and generous sponsors, reflecting on the incredible journey of 2024. She shares highlights from Spotify's Wrapped, revealing impressive growth as the podcast continues to reach and inspire a wider audience. Vivian then turns her attention to groundbreaking news from Belgium, now the first country to recognize labor rights and protections for sex workers. While this marks a significant step forward, a crucial caveat remains: only those employed by companies are eligible for these rights. Vivian passionately argues that true safety and equality can only be achieved when all sex workers, regardless of their work arrangements, are granted these fundamental protections. To close the episode, Vivian offers practical advice for clients in the U.S., sharing the number one website for finding reputable escorts. Wishing everyone a joyous holiday season!

In today’s episode of ‘TSEGP What’s in the News’, Vivian examines the long-awaited sentencing of the three Backpage founders: Michael Lacey, Scott Spear, and John “Jed” Brunst.  Now in their 70s, these men have been sentenced to prison terms ranging from five to ten years, with an additional three years of supervised release.  They have been ordered to surrender to the U.S. Marshals Service by noon on September 11th. Notably absent from the court's discussions was any mention of the trafficking victims supposedly rescued—shifting the focus instead to the financial crimes, such as money laundering, rather than the lives affected by trafficking. This case began in 2018, around the same time our podcast was launched, and it has reshaped our industry in profound ways, alongside the effects of the pandemic. But the question remains: was justice truly served? Show Sponsor: Companiontax.com/ Please support the show by joining our Patreon page for just $1/month: patreon.com/tsegp
