Submittal-Javier Ortiz-Letter to Miami Super Bowl Committee
Submitted into the pptibhe record ccor it m(s DISTRICT SIX on 1(311 ? . FRATERNAL ORDER OF POLICE 7I0 Southwest 12`1' Avenue. Miami, Florida 33130 Phone (305) 854-5019 Ortiz rcfopmiami.com Javier Ortiz DISTRICT DIRECTOR October 10, 2019 Miami Super Bowl Host Committee 100 Southeast 2nd Street, Suite 2310 Miami, Florida 33131 Dear Honorable Chairman Barreto: City Clerk It has come to the attention of the Fraternal Order of Police that we suspect the Chief of Staff to Miami. Commissioner Joe Carollo has a criminal past involving prostitution. Attached to this memorandum is some of the documentation to support our concerns. On April 23, 1998, the defendant attempted to commit prostitution with a City of Miami Police Officer. He later went into a deferred prosecution program for treatment, As I am sure you are aware, victims advocates state that some of the highest forms of sex trafficking occur during Super Bowl. We are aware that your organization conducts background checks. However, individuals can slip through the cracks which is what we are concerned with. Commissioner Joe Carollo is currently the Chairman of the Bayfront Park Trust. Unfortunately, Commissioner Carollo believes that everyone is after him including the Fraternal Order of Police. Several weeks ago while I was speaking on behalf of our FOP members at a commission meeting, Mr. Carollo began making threats of violence. He is an unreasonable and unstable person. Due to his position as Chairman of the Bayfront Park Trust, Chief of Staff Jose Suarez would have access to sensitive plans due to the fact that Super Bowl LIV is being hosted at Bayfront Park. We will be forwarding this to the Federal Bureau of Investigations who are responsible for credentialing, to other law enforcement agencies as well as several sex/human trafficking groups. On behalf of the Miami Fraternal Order of Police and District 6 FOP, we stand in the defense of those that are victims of human trafficking. Sinc rely, Javier Ortiz FOP District 6 Director Miami FOP Executive Board Member Lot-1-x° subrni 441 - -IA-01oz al, U4111/L-10rritAill ilbo,dleaftvri `„ • ss V%oCSS t *sou. ott.,y, OftImppo Y Y•4 C$'FERING TO COMMIT PROSTITUTION 11 fl,r.l„yp 1.6 *WOW" gepCrn 01 .w !.Haft., COMPUIP TeARREST AFFIDAVIT N N I 1.12 .wu.

Prostitution and related activities —including pimping and patronizing or maintaining brothels —fuel the growth of modern-day slavery by providing a facade behind which traffickers for sexual exploitation Operate. Where prostitution is legalized or tolerated. there is a greater demand for human trafficking victims and nearly always an increase in the number of women and children trafficked into commercial sex slavery. Of the estimated 600,000 to 800,000 people trafficked across international borders annually. 80 percent of victims are female, and up to 50 percent are minors. Hundreds or thousands or these women and children are used in prostitution each year. Women and children want to escape prostitution The vast malonty of women in presidulron don t want to be there. Few seek it out or choose it, and most are desperate to leave it. A 2003 study first published in the scientific Journal of Trauma Practice found that 89 percent of women in prostitution want to escapee2 And children are also trapped in prostitution —despite the fact that international covenants and protocols impose upon state parties an obligation to criminalize the commercial sexual exploitation of children. Prostitution is inherently harmful Few activities are as brutal and damaging to people as prostitution. Field research in nine countries concluded that 60-75 percent of women in prostitution were raped, 70-95 percent were physically assaulted, and 68 percent met the criteria for post traumatic stress disorder in the same range es treatment -seeking combat veterans[2J and victims of state -Organized torttrre.[31 Beyond this shocking abuse. the public health implications of prostitution are devastating and include a myriad of serous and fatal diseases. including HIV/AIDS. A path -breaking, five -country academic study concluded that research on prostitution has overlooked '[t]he burden of physical injuries and illnesses that women in the sex industry sustain from the violence inflicted on them. or from their significantly higher rates of hepatitis B. higher risks of cervical cancer, fertility complications, and psychological trauma.'IA State attempts to regulate proStrtulion by introducing medical cneck-ups or licenses don't address the core problem: the routine abuse and violence that form the prostitution experience and brutally victimize those caught in its netherwodd. Prostitution leaves women and children physically. mentally, emotionally and Spiritually devastated. Recovery takes years. even decades —often. the damage can never be undone. Prostitution creates a safe haven for criminals Legalization of prostitution expands the] market for commercial sex, opening markets for enminal enterpnees. and creating a safe haven for criminals who traffic people into prostitution. Organized crime networks do not register with the government, do not pay taxes, and do not protect prostitutes. Legatizauon simply makes it easier for them to blend in with a purportedly regulated sex sector and makes it mare difficult for prosecutors le identify and punish those who are trafficking people. The Swedish Government has found That much of the vase profit generated by the global prostitution industry goes into the pockets of human traffickers. The Swedish Government said, 'International trafficking in human beings could not nourish but for the existence of local prostitution markets where men are willing and able to buy and sell women and children for sexual expleitatione[e] To fight human trafficking and promote equality for women. Sweden has aggressively prosecuted customers. pimps. and brothel owners since 1999. As a result. two years after the new pokey, there was a 50 percent decrease in women prostituting and a 75 percent decrease in men buying sex. Trafficking for the purposes of sexual exploitation decreased as well.[) In contrast. where prostitution has been legalized or tolerated, there is an Increase in the demand for sex slavesel and the number of victimized foreign women —many likely victims of human trafficking.[§] Grant -making implications of the U.S. government policy As a result of Inc;prostitution-trafficking link. the U.S. government concluded that no U.S. grant funds should be awarded to foreign non -governmental organizations that support legal stale -regulated Prostitution. Prostitution is not the oldest profession, but the oldest form of oppression.

Find out more at cno,com/myfreedom Atlanta (CNN) — The 2019 Super Bowl has drawn thousands of people to the host city of Atlanta, but not everyone's in town to join in on the festivities. Volunteers and outreach services from across the country are working with city agencies to use the biggest sporting event in the United States to open the public's eyes to human trafficking, the crime of forcing someone to perform sex or labor for profit. Some groups claim that the influx of crowds for the Super Bowl contributes to an increase in sex trafficking. But leading anti -trafficking groups, such as Polaris Project and the International Human Trafficking Institute, say no evidence supports the claim. Trafficking occurs year-round in communities around the country. they say, and that's where prevention efforts are most needed. But that's not stopping outreach groups or the city of Atlanta from raising the issue during Super Bowl. January is Human Trafficking Awareness Month, which is why the issue is already more prominent now than at any other time of the year, And. with the Super Bowl drawing large crowds to Atlanta, city officials, outreach groups and activists say they see an opportunity for a widescale public awareness initiative. The campaigns coincide with law enforcement efforts to step up patrols as crowds descend upon a city that its mayor says ranks third in the country for reports of human trafficking.

The nature of human trafficking -- be it for labor or sex -- is complex, Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms told the CNN Freedom Project. That's why the city is spreading the message now, when they have the public's attention. "The Super Bowl is an opportunity for us to talk about it, but it's something we have to be vigilant about 12 months out of the year," Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms told CNN. "It's about making sure that the thousands of men and women who work in our hotels understand what the signs are. It's about making sure our police officers understand what the signs are. It's about making sure the public is informed." What the groups are doing The extra dose of messaging is all over the city. Posters in the airport, convenience stores and gas stations list the warning signs of trafficking and a hotline number. Delta Air Lines' inflight videos carry the message, too. In churches in Atlanta throughout January, groups held public information sessions on how to spot trafficking in communities. Volunteers went into hotels to share the signs with employees. Theresa Flores arrived in Atlanta in mid -January with more than 60,000 bars of soap. On each, a message: "Are you being forced to do anything you do not want to do? Have you been threatened if you try to leave? Text HELP to BE FREE 233733." Flores says she is a sex trafficking survivor and the founder of the S.O.A.P -- "Save our Adolescents from Prostitution" -- Project, a nine -year -old non-profit that aims to raise awareness about trafficking.

On a recent weekend, Flores says about 200 volunteers delivered the bars of soap -- along with missing children posters and tips for spotting trafficking -- to more than 330 Atlanta hotels. "If you can talk to the housekeepers, do so," Flores told the volunteers in a church conference room before they fanned out across the city in three -person groups. "They have a valuable wealth of information of things they see that nobody else sees. Talk to them about red flags." The International Labor Organization estimates that 40.3 million people are trapped in human trafficking globally -- 71% of whom are women and girls and 25% are children, No official estimates exist of the total number of people being trafficked in the United States, according to Polaris. The group estimates that the nationwide number is in the hundreds of thousands when estimates of adults and minors and sex trafficking and labor trafficking are aggregated. The National Human Trafficking Hotline, which is operated by Polaris, maintains what is considered one of the most extensive data sets related to human trafficking in the United States. In 2016, the most recent year for which complete data is available, the hotline received 30,918 substantive phone calls, emails, or online tip reports nationwide, according to an annual report. Of the 27,201 phone calls the hotline received, 691 came from Georgia, accounting for 2.54% of the calls. But the hotline is only a measure of reported cases. Experts say the number of people being trafficked is likely much higher.

The group also operates a "command center" in an undisclosed location where they search for missing children who could be involved in trafficking. A large poster with photos of the missing girls hangs on the wall. Volunteers sit at tables in front of laptops scanning dark web escort ads. They pull relevant data for leads that they pass onto law enforcement agents on the other side of a makeshift wall. One of the volunteers, Cheryl Csiky, says she was was trafficked for sex as a child. She began volunteering for In Our Backyard four years ago. "It's heartbreaking to hear that it still happens," she said. "That's why I get up every day ... we need to save kids." Is the Suoer Bowl a human -trafficking magnet? The link between the Super Bowl and trafficking has been debated for years, News reports in the past warned that the influx of crowds increased sex trafficking. But Polaris and others say no evidence supports a causal relationship between the two. The National Human Trafficking Hotline sees "slight upticks" in calls and reports during Super Bowl weekend, Polaris spokesman Brandon Bouchard said. But Polaris attributes the boost to heavier promotion of the hotline, not an increase in the prevalence of human trafficking on Super Bowl weekend, he said. If someone calls during the Super Bowl weekend to report being trafficked, "they were very likely being trafficked before that too," Bouchard said.

The study found some empirical data to support claims that the Super Bowl, "like many other large and localized public events, correlates with an increase in the number of online ads for commercial sex in the host city." "However, the Super Bowl does not appear to have the largest impact and evidence suggests the impact is short- lived," the authors wrote in a research brief. The study says that the first documented concerns about the impact of major sporting events on sex trafficking were for the 2004 Olympics in Athens, Greece. Projections of high number of trafficking victims did not materialize, but the response "set the template" for how host cities and NGOs treated sex trafficking in subsequent major international sporting events, including Super Bowls, the UROC brief says. The authors said they found a tendency across host cities for the media and others to "recycle unfounded and exaggerated numbers" of potential trafficking because of heightened demand caused by the event. The authors warned of potential downsides of public awareness campaigns and the portrayal of law enforcement involvement as a form of "rescue." Some campaigns -- through their language and imagery -- portray sex trafficking as tantamount to kidnapping, the brief says. Victims are often reduced to stereotypes of young, naive white females in need of rescue, the study says. But victims experience both overt and subtle forms of manipulation, violence and exploitation, the authors said. "Over emphasis on a total lack of physical freedom may make it harder for many individuals to see themselves in anti -trafficking campaigns," the authors say. Moreover, this type of campaign imagery suggests that only certain types of victims are worthy of help, oversimplifying "the social, economic and other pressures involved in the commercial sex industry," the authors said. The brief also warns of the potential negative effects of enhanced policing as part of the campaigns. Not all sex trafficking victims respond positively to law enforcement for a variety of reasons, the authors said, and some have had negative experiences with police in the past. Research shows, according to the authors, that even for trafficking victims, exiting the commercial sex trade "is a process that takes time and should be guided by the self- determination of each individual according to her or his own needs." Anecdotally, Polaris has heard that more "prostitution" arrests occur over Super Bowl weekend, Bouchard said. "But that largely has to do with the fact that law enforcement are specifically looking for it then." And the trend in law enforcement is to focus on arrests of traffickers and those seeking to buy sex, not sex workers or those who are being trafficked, he said. During the 2018 Super Bowl, a multi -agency operation participated in a "recovery focused initiative" to arrest those seeking sex for sale and provide social services to those being trafficked, the Minneapolis Police Department said. Over 10 days, 89 people were arrested for purchasing sex, seven accused traffickers were arrested, according to data provided by the department. Additionally, 20 women identified as "recoveries" were put in contact with social services instead of being arrested, a spokesperson said. Already in Atlanta, 33 people were arrested over four days this week in the metro area.
