If victims do not recognize themselves as such, it is harder for police to identify and help them.
Amira Birger, 25, a former teen prostitute, never crossed paths with police in her two years in the sex trade. It took years before she recognized herself as a trafficking victim.
Her plight began at age 16 when a friend took Birger to a swingers club. A day later, she was taken to the apartment of a man they met at the club. Then she was shuffled to another home where she was forced to sleep behind a couch for two weeks without showering or changing clothes.
Birger said her way out from behind the couch was to have sex with men at her pimp’s direction, and she moved on to perform sex acts in a massage parlor near 11th Street and Indian School Road.

Mesa Endorses Tougher Massage Parlor Rules
Updated: Friday, 18 Feb 2011, 4:19 PM MSTPublished : Friday, 18 Feb 2011, 4:19 PM MST
MESA, Ariz. (AP) — Mesa’s massage parlor ordinance has only been on the books for 11 months and already the city council is taking steps to end loopholes and make it tougher.
Mesa’s revenue and licensing administrator says sections of the code are ambiguous and other sections are not accomplishing the result they were intended to achieve.
The East Valley Tribune reports Mesa adopted a tougher massage parlor ordinance because the businesses were met with relatively lax enforcement laws allowing them to stay open all hours.
Mesa’s revised ordinance is likely to be approved in March.

When asked to describe what was going on, Clayton said, “The start with the sarong was awakening my skin. We were developing a relationship, when I started to feel tingling sensations of yin-yang balance. Then she sent meridians up and down my spine to move internal energy better, and we had chakra-to-chakra contact.”
Yeah … We’re not sure either. But if you guessed it sounds a lot like one of those massage parlors that provides happy endings for its gentlemen callers, well, law enforcement in Phoenix is thinking that way, as well. Referring to the prices charged by the gods and goddesses for sexual healing, James Hays, assistant city attorney for Phoenix, says, “They’re skating on thin ice, so they need to make money to hire a lawyer when the house of cards comes tumbling down.”

Look around some more and see: a hair salon, nail supply store, Taiwanese boba tea shop, assorted Vietnamese and Thai restaurants, an insurance agency and a T-Mobile outlet.
Now look back to the Buddha. Stare into those jolly, stone eyes. Look down at the gold-lettered placard below his feet (skipping over the protruding round belly), and read: “MeKong Plaza.”
Here, the décor tells the tale: This 2-year-old Asian shopping center on Dobson Road and Main Street randomly blends traditional and modern, cultural and commercial, into an oddly functional retail destination.
MeKong Plaza’s main draw is its food. Anchored by an Asian supermarket, the 100,000-square-foot plaza includes several freestanding restaurants and an additional food court in back. But mixed into the stir-fry are retail tenants such as a bakery, a jeweler and a Thai foot massage parlor (the aptly named “Thai Foot Massage”).
