… I don’t know anyone who didn’t have a reaction when they found out that a mother, who knew her baby was missing for a month, didn’t report it,” she said. “That’s so unacceptable.”
HB 2018 differs from measures in other states, Ugenti said, in that it calls for a lesser punishment – other states are looking at as much as 15 years behind bars – and doesn’t include all minors. She said the proposed punishment is a strong enough tool for prosecutors and that she focused on young children because they are most vulnerable.
“I can’t imagine there ever being a reason why you won’t report your child missing,” Ugenti said.
Maricopa County Attorney Bill Montgomery said the bill should apply to anyone under 18. For example, he said, if a 16-year-old working as a prostitute after running away from home wasn’t reported missing, officials should investigate the circumstances.

I looked through the back page and couldn’t find any  child prostitutes. Any ideas?? While I’m not advocating child prostitution, there is nothing wrong with the sexual trafficking of little kids – it’s cool when adults have sex with child prostitutes, if that’s what a little kid wants to do.  And it’s always the fault of the young girl if she gets raped. You people apparently are reading-challenged. There is virtually no child prostitution on Backpage. Read the articles linked in the posts from the other day, if you are able to read, which I doubt. Your claims are grossly exaggerated, and you know it. This is like blaming the phone company because a pimp sells a child prostitute over the telly. Your little protest was pathetic, and everybody knows it. Look at the comments on the posts that New Times ran. And how can you possibly know that this scumbag advertised on Backpage? He could have done it own his own or …

Phoenix City Council considers future of food tax
by Lynh Bui – Oct. 25, 2011 12:00 AMThe Arizona Republic
Phoenix could be in violation of the First Amendment or the Arizona Constitution if it imposes a “sin tax” on adult businesses.
Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon had suggested in September taxing topless bars, cabarets, escort services and other adult businesses as a way to eliminate the city’s 2 percent tax on food.
However, the Phoenix Law Department warned that “there are legal issues that would have to be overcome.”
But, even if a sin tax is off the table, elected officials in Phoenix aren’t giving up on finding ways to remove the city’s controversial food tax before its planned sunset in 2015.
The Phoenix City Council will meet again today to discuss options for getting rid of the food tax, which brings in about $50 million annually.

… He always took his time,” she said. “He enjoyed the power and dominion he exercised over these victims. He enjoyed the threats of force, the threats of death.”
She said the eight female victims all started by succumbing to Goudeau’s instructions to remove their clothes, but that each of them at some point refused to cooperate with his sexual demands, and that’s when he killed them.
She said each of the women was forced to agonize over whether they would be raped or killed in the moments before they were shot, and that two of them were forced to watch Goudeau kill another person before he turned the gun on them, prolonging and intensifying their own terror.
The jury agreed with Stevens in eight of the cases, finding that the murder of Kristin Nicole Gibbons, a 26-year-old prostitute, was the only one that was not especially cruel. They did not explain their decision.

… The laws are talked about,” said Martha Perez Loubert, who runs the diversion program.
Johns School is a one-time option for men busted in Phoenix, said Loubert.  By completing the eight-hour class, the men’s cases are dismissed and they avoid jail time, she said.
During the eight-hour class run by Catholic Charities, the “johns” get an education from vice investigators, health care workers, community representatives and psychologists.
“(The purpose is) to show them there has to be boundaries and to show them there has to be respect,” said Loubert.  “It’s not right to go out and pay for this type of activity.”
Former prostitutes also share their stories.
“Jane,” who asked that we conceal her identity, is a former entertainment executive who got hooked on cocaine and eventually began turning tricks.
