My friend Kelly, a Mission Valley prostitute?
my letter to the editor that was published today in the Reader in reponse to this story: http://www.sandiegoreader.com/news/2012/sep/26/le…— September 27, 2012 12:20 p.m.
My friend Kelly, a Mission Valley prostitute?
Congratulations Jessica! You have now further exploited your friend by sharing her story with thousands of readers. You got your 15 minutes of fame! And since you chose to share your name, people can connect the dots and figure out who this "Kelly" really is. I'm sure her parents are thrilled to see this! Instead of exploiting your friend, you should have taken the opportunity to learn about sex trafficking, seeing her as a victim instead of one of your many inappropriate terms "hooker, whore, prostitute" used in your article. Sex trafficking is real, and it's scary. Instead of being sympathetic, you have chosen to write a sensationalized story of your friend's victimization. I hope "Kelly" is safe and finds the services she needs to start a new life, and I hope to God she finds new friends!— September 20, 2012 3:08 p.m.
