Despite its nondescript look, many community members had suspected that illegal activity had been taking place at Kobe and tipped off the police. The spa is just under two miles away from Villanova Law. State police gave Action News 6ABC the names of the two suspects, but the local broadcaster did not reveal the suspects identities, because detectives believe the suspects might be victims of sex trafficking.
The CSE Institute commends the media outlet, Action News 6ABC, which broke the story of this raid and chose not to post the identities of the women arrested for alleged prostitution.
The CSE Institute consistently encourages media to be mindful of reporting on allegations of prostitution to not include the publishing of any identifying information of those charged as this leads to further stigmatizing victims of commercial sexual exploitation. With their broad platform and wide-reaching capabilities, we encourage all members of the media to join the fight against human trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation.
