Reported in today's Providence Journal is a story on how the police in Rhode Island have been soliciting the massage parlors for donations for years. Would they also be considered pimps?

You have some incorrect information about the documentary film "Happy Endings?"
The film does not have 3 traffickers.
The film does have two women who work in the massage parlors and one who owns another one and was a worker. All three have arrest records for prostitution not pimping.
The director did testify at the Senate hearing for the human trafficking law, and has also written in newspapers about this subject.

I think you should watch the film before you...
