US Man Sentenced In Multi-Million Dollar, International Sex Trafficking Ring Which Exploited HUNDREDS of Thai Women

MINNESOTA — Michael Morris, 66, to 208 months in prison for his role in operating a massive international sex trafficking organization that was responsible for coercing hundreds of Thai women to engage in commercial sex acts across the United States. MORRIS was sentenced by Senior Judge Donovan Frank in U.S. District Court in St. Paul, Minnesota.

Following a six-week trial, on December 12, 2018, a federal jury convicted MORRIS and four other defendants for their roles in operating the sex trafficking enterprise. Thirty-one defendants pleaded guilty prior to the 2018 trial. To date, 29 defendants have been sentenced.

“Sex trafficking continues to be a repugnant local, national, and international crime that preys on vulnerable populations,” said United States Attorney Erica H. MacDonald. “This case demonstrates the dedication and relentlessness of law enforcement across multiple jurisdictions to bring those who commit these crimes to justice.”

As proven at trial, the sex trafficking organization coerced hundreds of women from Bangkok, Thailand, to engage in commercial sex acts in various cities across the United States, including Minneapolis, Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta, Phoenix, Washington, D.C., Las Vegas, Houston, Dallas, Seattle, and Austin. The trafficking victims were forced to participate in the criminal scheme through misleading promises of a better life in the United States and the ability to provide money to their families in Thailand. Once in the United States, the victims were sent to houses of prostitution, including the three that MORRIS ran in southern California, where they were forced to have sex with strangers – every day –having sex with up to ten men a day. The victims were isolated from the outside world, and their families in Thailand were threatened.

As proven at trial, the organization also engaged in widespread visa fraud to facilitate the international transportation of the victims and engaged in rampant and sophisticated money laundering in order to promote and conceal illegal profits. During the extensive investigation, law enforcement traced tens of millions of dollars to the organization.

Hillary Clinton Brags About How Democrats Are Going to Try to Steal the Election: “Joe Biden Should Not Concede Under Any Circumstances”

Twice-failed presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton bragged about how the Democrats are going to try to steal the 2020 election.

Clinton sat down virtually with Jennifer Palmieri and “The Circus” on Showtime and urged the Democrat party to fight like hell until Biden wins the 2020 election.

As always, Hillary Clinton and her crony Jennifer Palmieri were just projecting what the Democrat party is doing and will do onto President Trump.

“If it’s a close election — let’s say Biden ‘wins’ what do you think Trump will do?” Palmieri asked Clinton.

Crooked Hillary suggested Trump and the GOP have a couple of scenarios that they’re looking toward….”Messing up absentee balloting…so they can get a narrow advantage in the Electoral College on Election Day.”

“We’ve got to have a massive legal operation, I know the Biden campaign is working on that,” Hillary said. “We have to have poll workers and I urge people who are able to be a poll worker. We have to have our own teams of people to counter the force of intimidation that the Republicans and Trump are going to put outside polling places.”

“At least we know more now about what they’re going to do,” Hillary said using Alinsky style projection.

“Joe Biden should not concede under any circumstances because I think this is gonna drag out and eventually I do believe he will win if we don’t give an inch,” she added.

“Eventually win” as in the Democrats will continue to count ballots for weeks after the election until they have enough votes to overcome President Trump just like the Democrats did in Orange County, California in 2018 with ballot harvesting.

Beijing Slams 'Evidence-Free' Charge Of Using Vaccine To Pressure Neighbors Over South China Sea Claims

China has rejected last week's accusations that's it's pursuing an aggressive "vaccine nationalism" campaign wherein it hopes to use its COVID-19 vaccine as a tool of influence and diplomacy.

Russia was also named in an explosive Wall Street Journal piece last week as among countries on the cusp of rolling out with an early, effective vaccine, but who will use it as leverage against both Washington interests and that of US allies. Currently no less than three of six global vaccine candidates which are in final clinical trials are being developed in China.

Days following the WSJ report, which alleged that state and private drug makers "have begun promising early access to countries of strategic interest as it seeks to shore up its global standing after a pandemic that has strained geopolitical ties," China's CGTN slammed the charges as baseless and without evidence.
