Prostitutes Solicit Sex Outside Catholic Elementary School in California After Dems Pass Law Protecting “Transgender Sex Workers”

KGO-TV reported, “The I-Team captured videos along E. 15th Street outside the school gate on four different dates over the past couple weeks showing young women wearing barely any clothing walking along the school sidewalk, the street corners, or directly across from the school. All of the videos were captured as children were being dropped off or walked into school.”

Rosa Vargas, a concerned parent, told KGO TV that she has seen prostitutes close to the Catholic school. “every day, during all periods of the day.”

Vargas stated that the sex workers are so close to the elementary school they have been soliciting sex since last year. “were blocking the entrance of the parking structure” Of the school.

“My daughter asked if I liked what the girl was wearing,” Vargas said. “I told her don’t turn around, don’t look. It’s not OK.”

Vargas spoke about pimps in the vicinity of the school. “They’ve followed me a couple times.”

Noel Gallo, Oakland City Councilman, noted that he receives complaints every week about prostitutes.

Gallo stated, “I get the call saying, ‘Mr. Gallo I can’t get into my home because the pimp is blocking my driveway.’ It’s constant.”

Gallo stated that he saw up to 20 women wearing scantily dressed walking down the street. prostitution. He said that some of the girls were as young as fifteen years old.

Officials believe that some of these women were victims of domestic violence. Trafficking in people.

Some believe the recent construction of a busy highway led to sex workers moving to residential areas.

St. Anthony’s requested that there be more police patrols around the area.

Ghebriel Woldai, St. Anthony’s pastor, stated that, “It’s not enough. They promised us they will do more presence here.”

Woldai stated that the parish has requested additional patrols from Oakland Police Department for many years, but without success.

Rodney Pierre-Antoine – who oversees seven Catholic elementary schools, including St. Anthony’s – said the hands of the police “are somewhat handcuffed.”

Pierre-Antoine is referring to Senate Bill 357, also known by the Safer Streets for All Act.

SB 357 states:

The law currently prohibits prostitution. The law prohibits the following: loitering in public places with the intent of prostitution; directing, supervising or recruiting a person with the intent of prostitution; or collecting or receiving any part of the proceeds from an act of prostitution. Violation of any of these provisions constitutes a misdemeanor according to existing law. The bill would remove the provisions relating to prostitution loitering and make other changes.

Fatima Shabazz of DecrimSexWork CA Coalition – a “coalition of current and former sex workers, organizers, and allies” – The bill “SB 357 repeals a Jim Crow law that criminalized black and trans people in public spaces.”

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D), signed SB 357 into Law in July. It went into effect Jan. 1.

KGO-TV was informed by police officers that they are now prohibited from saving women they suspect of being victims of human trafficking.

California State Sen. Scott Wiener – a Democrat who introduced SB 357 – defends the bill.

Wiener argued, “It allowed police officers to arrest a person, not based on what they did, but based solely on how a person looks. So an officer could arrest someone because they were wearing tight clothing, high heels, and extra lipstick.”

Wiener’s office , “This criminal provision — arrests for which are based on an officer’s subjective perception of whether a person is ‘acting like’ or ‘looks like’ they intend to engage in sex work — results in the disproportionate criminalization of trans, black and brown women, and perpetuates violence toward sex workers.”

Wiener admitted, “That footage is very troubling. We don’t want sex work and solicitation happening by schools, it’s not acceptable for the children and the neighbors.”

Wiener claimed that officers who claimed they had been handcuffed by new law were police officers “dead wrong,” How to use a “copout.” He claimed that the issue was more popular than the new law.

He advised the police to arrest pimps, johns.

After the publication of the eye-opening report, officials in Oakland have promised to increase patrols and install more cameras.
