Medellin Reports

[Questner]

I dunno but friends told me that were just recently talking to Eric. If he was that guy, he must have been released

The guy is a Colombian national. Draw your own conclusions.

Yes the newbie needs help from time to time. Jake was out and out promoting his pimping services. If you had read any of this forum, you would have read over and over that while prostitution is legal, pimping is not.

Like Cuba Dave, Jake was waving a big red flag around. Why would one want to be anywhere near a guy waving a big red flag around ?

I've read some of the forum and am aware that pimping is illegal, but that doesn't really change anything. You don't think he was the only guy in Medellin pimping do you? The people who were his customers don't know or care.

It's simple, there's a market, someone will always come along to exploit it. Most newbies have at least some clue. They may make a few mistakes, but they muddle through and learn. There are others who either can't or won't learn. They either end up with someone like Jake or they end up becoming either a nuisance or a headline.

If they end up swept up with Jake, it's no loss.

His Medellin web page is still up and running! If read it's flat out pimping!

[BeersTerry]

Wow. Just wow.

"authorities also captured another man and rescued a 13 - year - old who was found at the site being exploited sexually. The minor was made ​​available Family Welfare, as the two men will face charges for crimes of prostitution, pimping minor, trafficking, manufacturing and possession of narcotics."

I guess that "other man" was his roommate you guys referred to as "Eric".

I dunno but friends told me that were just recently talking to Eric. If he was that guy, he must have been released

[BeersTerry]

Is it really that interesting? In most mongering havens there is someone offering something along the line of the services Jake advertised. No matter where are who they always find a supply of customers. They come and go. Someone else will take over in a year or two, and they'll find plenty of customers too. At least until they get too greedy or forget that they have a target on their back.

Jonesie may soon be rethinking his future in the city as well. Both are scum who exploit women. Sickening. ".

Regarding Jonesie, if one is to be inciteful, one should at least be accurate.

Tell us all what illegal activities Jonesie is up to?

How is he exploiting women?

The scum part is your personal opinion. which I can neither verify nor disprove

[Quagmire1974]

Everywhere men go for cheap sex, there's someone like Jake. You should be happy he's there. He cuts down on the number of clueless noobs who just screw it up for everyone.

If you're a "clueless noob," it's because you didn't do the proper research, I. E. , you didn't search and compare hotels on TripAdvisor or other travel websites and you didn't read any of the nearly 1400 pages of comments in the Medellin thread here on ISG.

If you live in Colombia, you will never see Jake again. Nobody could see this coming, except the local police that stated publicly they were after this sort of operation just a couple of months ago, and anybody else with a brain.

Jake gave gringos a bad name. I never used his "services", but can't say I will miss him.

[Surfer500]

I doubt guys on here are so foolish as to have given him their real names and copies of their passports.

You would be surprised how foolish guys can become when they think with their "little heads". I don't know if Jake only dealt on a cash basis, but if he took charge cards he would of required some form ID. Perhaps some of the members on this board who stayed at his establishment or know of others who did can shed some light on this.

This post a few days ago looks interesting now.

This post a few days ago looks interesting now.

But he does offer something unique, security and peace of mind. It's not something the seasoned monger needs and it's not for the adventurous traveler, but there are plenty who feel they need that level of service.

The recently divorced workaholic who finally decides to live a little, the guy venturing out of his hometown for the first time, they have no idea where to go or what to do. If they try to go solo there's a good chance of a bad experience that will ruin the whole trip. But by paying a little more for a guide, they walk away with happy memories, and maybe after a few trips they're ready to fly solo.

Everywhere men go for cheap sex, there's someone like Jake. You should be happy he's there. He cuts down on the number of clueless noobs who just screw it up for everyone.

According to the article the US Embassy was involved, not good for US Citizens who utilized his services. My bet is the US Embassy has already asked for the copies of Passports of all clients who are US Citizens.

For all members of this Forum who have stayed at Jakes, don't be surprised if you are sent to "secondary" for questioning upon entering the USA from overseas in the future, or put on some type of watch list.

I doubt guys on here are so foolish as to have given him their real names and copies of their passports.

Not sure if the following applies to Jake, but since pimping less-than-legal-age girls applies to his situation, I imagine so:

"Colombia: Article 219 of the Colombian criminal code prohibits, "organizing or facilitating sexual tourism and provides penalties of 3 to 8 years' imprisonment", but there were no reported prosecutions or convictions of child sex tourists. In recent years, Colombia has strengthened legislation related to control trafficking of children, particularly to follow the criminal code. However, a law is still pending approval by the Code for Children and Adolescents, which includes the rights and guarantees of children and adolescents victims of commercial sexual exploitation. ".

And also:

"Under the PROTECT Act of April 2003, it is a federal crime, prosecutable in the United States, for a USA Citizen or permanent resident alien, to engage in illicit sexual conduct in a foreign country with a person under the age of 18, whether or not the USA Citizen or lawful permanent resident alien intended to engage in such illicit sexual conduct prior to going abroad. For purposes of the PROTECT Act, illicit sexual conduct includes any commercial sex act in a foreign country with a person under the age of 18. The law defines a commercial sex act as any sex act, on account of which anything of value is given to or received by a person under the age of 18. Before congressional passage of the Protect Act of 2003, prosecutors had to prove that sex tourists went abroad with the intent of molesting childrensomething almost impossible to demonstrate. The Protect Act shifted the burden, making predators liable for the act itself. Penalties were doubled from 15 years in prison to 30. ".
