I Prayed have prayed
Lord, it is not Your will that this industry be allowed to operate legally. We ask that it be outlawed in Nevada and across all our United States. We ask that human life would be valued from the womb to the grave.

Las Vegas resident and hip-hop producer Jamal Rashid…worked with musicians…Drake, Usher, Snoop Dogg, and Chis Brown. In May, a federal judge sentenced [Rahsid]…to 33 months in prison for running a nationwide prostitution ring disguised as multiple escort businesses between 2002 to 2014.

Women told the FBI that Rashid lured them into working for him with promises he would marry them or help their show business careers. They said he abused them…

Now, one of Rashid’s victims, Angela Williams, is a plaintiff in a sweeping federal lawsuit against state and local authorities, a legal brothel, Rashid, and other businesses associated with him…

While prostitution is technically illegal in Las Vegas, the lawsuit claims city and state officials know legal escort services are involved in the sex trade but look the other way. Nevada only allows legal prostitution in seven…but…the entire state benefits from the sex tourism those counties generate.

The case, brought by the National Center on Sexual Exploitation (NCOSE) and Reno-based attorney Jason Guinasso, argues the state’s legal prostitution system is unconstitutional and violates federal anti-trafficking laws…

“When prostitution is legally protected, there is always an increase in the demand, and thus the supply must increase somehow,” said NCOSE senior legal counsel Christen Price…

Williams and an unidentified California woman listed as Jane Doe allege they were forced into prostitution and defrauded for years under Nevada statutes in what amounted to…a violation of the 13th Amendment ban…

Williams and alleged sex trafficking survivor Rebekah Charleston were plaintiffs in a 2019 lawsuit against the state for its legalized brothel industry. A federal judge dismissed the case…ruling they could not sufficiently prove the harm they endured resulted from the state’s laws…

Price said the new lawsuit more narrowly focuses on specific entities and individuals. She believes recent exposés on the sex trafficking industry will help their case…

Lord, we thank you that you are moving in our country to help us to come out of agreement with the enemy. To see that prostitution is not a victimless crime. And those that exploit others must be brought to justice. Therefore, we pray for the legal cases being brought in Nevada against prostitution in any way be won. Father’s we pray Heavenly wisdom and strategies come to the lawyers to prove their case. In our Lord Jesus name I ask this thing. Amen
