This film talks about 'underage' prostitutes, but the fact is, all those women shown in this video were in fact 30-40 years of age.

I wish people wouldn't make up stories just to toot their own horn and try to get famous.

Since when is sex with a 30 year-old being a 'pedophile'?

[videovigilanteokc]

Actually, you are wrong. Most of the footage used in this show was filmed by me. Many of the hookers were teens. However, because of liabilty, they only used footage of teens over the age of 16. We have girls as young as 12 walking our streets, but we have enough sense not to air those images.

This is just sick. In my opinion Pimps, Rapists, and Child Molesters should be either neutered or castrated ( CSS: Compulsory Sterilization Surgery). Human Traffickers should either have life in prison or be put to death. There is NO EXCUSE for these types of debaucheries. I DARE somebody to try to give me one. I DARE you.

I don't know Al Roker, but he just strikes me as a quality human being.

@Ritercrazy  i agree

[letmebegofindurself]

Well this i think is really bad underage girls being treated like this and taken advantage of this I have to say needs more notice. They need to help these children and get those pimps. That was horrible how that pimp hit that girl. Well this makes me understand a bit more of whats going on. Really be careful man it looks dangerous these pimps look like they are willing to commit violence so really be careful. all the best man.

I think you're a wonderful man. I'm so glad that you are doing this.

Roker is a great guy, just think if we had 100 Roker's in every major city. I just hope he's being careful with his own life. The pimps are like drug dealers, if you fuck with their money?? He seems pretty sharp though.

[champwagner]

most people on camera who train to be likable seem to appear that way huh weird

[Joewalshe38]

You are doing great work.

An inspiration for the rest of us.

[JakeSerpent]

I love Al Roker.

[Ritercrazy]

Too bad the victim is called a prostitute when actually she's a little girl being used by pedophiles. She's not a prostitute, she's a victim! Grrrrr Using the word prostitutes implies she has a choice. What? The law now says it's ok to rape little girls? All you have to do is call her a prostitute and it's not pedophelia? BULL!

[ShoryoTombo]

This is a very interesting video. Although, I am not suprise or shocked. I'm so glad JohnTV is exposing and shining the light on this.

The question is, how does the police treat the girls when they get arrested? Just book them? They need guidance and rehabilitation. They are victims. Want to get rid of prostitutions? Go after the Johns and Pimps. Those are the ones that need to be treated like criminals.
