Last week Alex Andrews of SWOP Behind Bars asked me to spread the word about this serial predator, or more specifically the effort to bring him down. If you have information and would like to talk to the lawyer she describes below, please Twitter DM SWOP Behind Bars, the New Jersey Red Umbrella Alliance or the Best Practices Policy Project to get the lawyer’s contact info. If you’re not on Twitter, I can forward your email to Alex. I’ve also attached all the info on this monster people have shared on Twitter; his email address and physical address are here, and a few of the many phone numbers he’s used here. As you can see, there would be more than enough had he not cunningly chosen to target a group cops consider subhuman.
Joey the Player has been a predator in the sex worker community for many years; barely a month goes by without a horror story of his assaulting an unknowing provider. Just last week there was an incident in Las Vegas. And of course since sex workers were kicked off the internet in the FOSTA debacle, its been really hard to continue to warn each other about dangerous and abusive clients. And because of criminalization – we can’t go report these horrific assaults to police because they would probably put a target on us, rape us themselves or do some kind of harmful cop shit that would make our lives harder than they are. Well, there is a good chance that Joey’s time is up; last week a brave NYC City sex worker made contact with an attorney who has stepped forward to our request to negotiate immunity agreements for any sex worker who was willing to report the violence against her. But that wasn’t all; this lawyer is ruthless and he wants to see Joey locked up in prison for the rest of his life. The New Jersey Red Umbrella Alliance has been working on a strategy for a long time and SWOP Behind Bars wants to support their efforts, especially since most of his crimes have taken place in New Jersey and NYC.
