(Chuck Muth)<\/em> \u2013 Remember the 1982 movie \u201cStar Trek: The Wrath of Khan\u201d<\/em>?<\/p>\n

Khan Noonien Singh was the evil bad guy who sent a pair of assassins to knock off his longtime nemesis, Captain Kirk.\u00a0 Alas, the hitmen failed \u2013 which Khan realized when Kirk, instead of one of his assassins, responded to Khan\u2019s radio call.<\/p>\n

\u201cKirk,\u201d Khan says with surprise, \u201cyou’re still alive, my old friend.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cStill, old, friend,\u201d Kirk replies. \u00a0\u201cYou’ve managed to kill just about everyone else, but, like a poor marksman, you keep missing the target.\u201d<\/p>\n

Anti-sex trafficking advocates who continue to attack Nevada\u2019s legal brothel industry should keep that scene in mind.\u00a0 Because they, too, keep missing the target.<\/p>\n

To remind them of what the real target SHOULD be, consider this December 30, 2018 story in the Albion Times\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cTwo Long Island men, including a \u2018self-described Crips gang member,\u2019 were arrested for the kidnapping and sex trafficking of two girls – one of whom was only 12 years old, police said Thursday.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cFredjy Exavier and Terron Newsome, both 22 and from Central Islip, were arrested Wednesday morning on a slew of charges that stemmed from the sex trafficking of the 12-year-old and a second victim, who was raped at the age of 13 and prostituted, Suffolk County police said.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

According to the police report, the thugs took the girls from the group home where they were living and drove them to a motel \u201cwhere Newsome attempted to have the 12-year-old girl engage in sexual activities with him and encouraged her to become a prostitute.\u201d<\/p>\n

THAT\u2019S sex trafficking of underage girls \u2013 and these two should be drawn and quartered for it.<\/p>\n

The girls were rescued from the motel and the dirtbags arrested after one of the girls managed to call her former foster parent, who then called police to report they were being held \u201cagainst their will.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI know she\u2019s young,\u201d Exavier told police. \u201cShe looked like 15 or 16, but not 12 years old.\u201d<\/p>\n

As if 15 or 16 makes it any better!<\/p>\n

Sadly, this isn\u2019t an isolated case in New York.\u00a0 It\u2019s going on every day all over the country, including in Nevada.<\/p>\n

But you know where it\u2019s NOT happening?<\/p>\n

In Nevada\u2019s legal brothels.<\/p>\n

In order to work in a legal Nevada brothel, the women are REQUIRED to obtain a sheriff\u2019s work card, which they can only receive after an extensive FBI background check to verify their age and identify any criminal history.<\/p>\n

As such, there is no trafficking of underage girls going on in Nevada\u2019s legal brothels.\u00a0 None.<\/p>\n

So if the objective is to eradicate the sex-trafficking of underage girls, as it should be, activists targeting Nevada\u2019s legal brothels keep missing the target.<\/p>\n

In Nevada\u2019s legal brothels, you have consenting adult customers doing business with consenting adult service providers.\u00a0 The businesses and all of their workers are licensed, regulated and taxed.<\/p>\n

They are NOT the problem.<\/p>\n

Those claiming otherwise who are trying to shut down Nevada\u2019s legal brothels are bad marksmen.\u00a0 They need to re-direct their fire.<\/p>\n
