C
Recently,
many
of
the
local
media
outlets
ran
with
a
story
seeing
Kansas
City
ranks
second
in
online
prostitution.
This
study
by
Arizona
State
University
covered
15
major
cities
and
Casey
came
in
number
two
behind
Houston
Texas.
However,
the
study
was
a
bit
skewed
sergeant.
Brad
doumitt
explains
the.
D
Study
was
flawed.
I
think
that
you
can
make
numbers
basically
tell
anything
that
you
want
to,
for
starters
and
to
kansas
city
is
a
city.
That's
unique!
It's
unique
because
of
its
size,
1,
it's
it's
a
lot
bigger
landmass,
wise
in
other
cities,
unlike
the
smaller
population
and
of
other
cities
such
as
New
York,
maybe
Houston,
but
also
we
also
have
just
a
one
venue.
D
You
know
whether
it
be
the
computer
on
backpage
to
go,
get
your
dates
on,
whereas
other
places
have
multitude
of
different
venues
to
go
get
their
dates
from
Kansas
City
is
kind
of
a
one-stop
shop.
They
just
looked
at
one
of
the
venues
on
here
and
not
all
of
in
their
totality.
So
you
know
with
that
said
there
could
be.
The
numbers
could
be
astronomical
in
other
cities
that
they
didn't
look
at.
D
We
do
all
all
sorts
of
venues
when
it
comes
to
prostitution
and-
and
it's
also
a
street-level
prostitution,
organized
prostitution
and
what
I
mean
by
that
is
organized
prostitution
would
be
ads
placed
on
the
Internet.
We
also
do
our
own
ads
on
the
internet
as
a
means
to
try
to
catch
people.
Doing
things
they
shouldn't
be
doing,
but
when
there
are
ads
placed
on
the
Internet
we
we
also
call
those
ads
and
go
make
your
rest
there.
D
It's
safe
to
say
that
when
they
do
place
an
ad
in
there,
they
could
be
running
into
us
on
the
ads
or
calling
the
ads
both
meaning.
If
somebody
is
calling
an
ad,
they
may
be
calling
the
police
department
and
when
they
do,
we
set
up
sting
operations,
whether
it
be
a
hotel,
an
apartment
or
we
could
even
go
to
them
as
well,
too.
Obviously,
seeing
ads
it's
a
420,
friendly,
yeah,
we'll
work
drugs
into
it
as
well,
too.
C
A
Looking
ahead,
everyone
is

City
