Women’s studies presentation warns about local sex trafficking MADISON LAMMERT editor-in-chief

When visiting St. Louis, many think of the Arch and the new Stanley Cup Champions.

However, below the surface, St. Louis and the bi-state region are common sites for sex trafficking, as explained in a women’s studies presentation Friday.

According to the National Human Trafficking Hotline, there were 144 total reported cases of human trafficking in Missouri in 2017, and 112 of those cases were identified as sex trafficking. Seven fell within the category of sex and labor trafficking. The hotline is careful to note this does not even begin to account for all human trafficking cases, as there are many unreported cases as well.

The FBI defines human trafficking as a person under 18 participating in commercial sex acts through force, fraud or coercion.

As Erin Heil, associate professor of criminal justice studies, said during Friday’s presentation “Identifying and Protecting Female Victims of Sex Trafficking,” strong pimp control is a hallmark of sex trafficking. This, along with the survivor’s age, helps to differentiate it from prostitution.

Sex trafficking in nearby areas Just like in other places across the U.S., sex traffickers in the surrounding area typically seek out the most vulnerable populations.

Heil mentioned the LGBTQ+ population, as well as children who are homeless because of their parents, are deemed “throw-away status.”

“This is when parents don’t accept their children for who they are, so they literally kick them out or throw them away,” Heil said.

“So I’m on the streets, I need to survive. One way to survive, to get food or money or whatever I need is to have sex for people. So here, when I’m ‘choosing’ to be a prostitute, is that really a choice?

Not if I’m homeless.”

Throughout her studies and work with survivors, law enforcement, advocates and policymakers since 2008, Heil said she has seen

her fair share of these types of survivors. Heil also said traffickers prey on children in the foster care system and those dwelling in group homes. Traffickers use this method to find other targets, as those already being trafficked in group homes will inform them of new residents.

“Foster care is one of the biggest spots,” Heil said. “If they’re in foster care and then they move to a group home, traffickers will actually stand outside of the group home, wait for them to leave and then say ‘Hey, you know, I’ve got a better life for you, I can take you somewhere else.’”

Heil said children may also be trafficked as a result of their parents using them as a commodity to pay off drug debts, and this is most common with young children. Fraudulent acts such as “friends” recruiting other friends and false promises of opportunity/ fame are other ways one may end up being trafficked.

The “boyfriend as pimp” model, in which one trafficker presents himself to targets as their lover, is the most popular type of sex trafficking in St. Louis and can also be found on college campuses, according to Heil.

“We have seen this on college campuses, where at frat parties ‘If you love me, you’ll go sleep with my friends over there.’ That is boyfriend as pimp,” Heil said.

“From survivors that we’ve interviewed, that is the most commonly seen.”

However, traffickers may also take on a boss role. Because they do not need to act like they care about their targets, Heil said this type of trafficking often results in more violent altercations.

The warning signs of sex trafficking As law enforcement has become more knowledgeable about indicators of trafficking, criminals have changed the way they maintain their operations. Heil said while previously traffickers would brand or tattoo their targets, physical indicators such as this are now rarely seen.

“They used to do the scarring and the tattoos, so we’d see survivors that have numbers on

their neck, or they have their trafficker’s name or something like that,” Heil said. “They don’t do that anymore, because the traffickers learned we’ve identified it. What we’re generally going to see is what was once a generally healthy person is now showing signs of malnourishment. Again, this might not necessarily be trafficking, but physically it’s very difficult to look at a person and know if they’ve been trafficked or not.”

Heil said social, financial and legal indicators are more prominent. Socially, one may spot a potential sex trafficking target by noticing the sudden possession of expensive possessions/ clothing, new, often older, people hanging around and excessive absences from school.

Survivors might show signs of dependency on drugs or alcohol, as this may be a means through which the trafficker keeps them dependent on them.

One may also be able to spot a sex trafficking survivor if they notice said person lacks financial records, or if there is another person holding their documents (licenses, passports, etc.). A trafficker might insist on speaking for them, or may make them feel indebted to them.

Heil also said one attorney claiming to represent multiple individuals is another legal indicator that something may be amiss.

Carolina Rocha, director of the women’s studies program, said informing students, faculty and staff of these warnings signs will help better communities.

“We are trying to train the next generation of professionals, of social workers, of journalists, of teachers, and we have to be able to recognize these social indicators to be able to help our community,” Rocha said.

Junior social work major Shavontae Lindsay, of Springfield, Illinois, said she recently witnessed an incident where these warning signs came in handy. As a member of the National Guard, Lindsay has undergone extensive training regarding human trafficking, so she is well aware of potential indicators.

According to Lindsay, she and a sergeant were heading to Rockford, Illinois, to pick up soldiers. When they stopped at a gas

station, Lindsay saw a man with many women exhibiting suspicious activity.

“It looked like he was taking their wallets and their IDs or whatever, and he was holding it when walking into the store,” Lindsay said. “I told my sergeant and he was like ‘I’m going to call somebody because I don’t know what this is.’ Had I not gone through previous trainings like that, I would not have known to say something to him. I would have been like ‘Oh, he’s just holding it for them.’”

Because Lindsay believes she would not have noticed this suspicious activity before her training, she said she wished Heil’s presentation would have had a bigger turnout.

“I wish it was publicized more on campus, that way more people would have came and more people would have known this is necessary to learn about, especially since this is our area and we all live around here,” Lindsay said.

What to do about indicators of trafficking If one sees signs that someone is being trafficked, Heil stressed they should not directly intervene, but instead should call the police.

“If you ever suspect someone is being trafficked, do not intervene, call the police because you could get that person killed, you could get yourself killed,” Heil said.

One may also contact the National Human Trafficking Hotline, operated by Polaris, at 888373-7888 or text “HELP” or “INFO” to 233733.

How sex trafficking is prosecuted Heil said the federal penalty for human trafficking, which does not distinguish between sex and labor trafficking, can be up to 20 years in prison, but with aggravated circumstances can reach up to life.

The federal penalty for charges of child sex trafficking is no less than ten years and can span up to life.

However, because a high amount of evidence is needed to show the means of the crime, it is rare for prosecutors to obtain a guilty verdict on charges of sex trafficking. Heil said prosecutors often settle for a lesser charge.

“It’s very rare, because that goes back to what I was talking about at the beginning, trying to show that means and prosecutors know they’re not going to get a guilty verdict because they don’t have enough evidence for that means, so what they will do is lower the charge, they’ll do a rape charge,” Heil said. “I had one prosecutor that she was going to file it under a white collar crime charge. So, when we see trafficking charges they’re very minimal and you have to have a very strong case.”

Further complicating matters, survivors may not agree to assist the prosecution as they might not have come to terms with their abuse for a number of reasons, including believing the pimp is going to marry them or being unable to accept they are living in or have lived in a trafficking situation. Heil said survivors often tell her they believed they were not victims as a means of surviving.

“So many of those that I’ve talked to that were in and out of the life said ‘In order to survive, I had to say this was my choice, and I had to say that he really did love me,’” Heil said. “That was the only way they could make sense of anything, and it took years of therapy for them to get to the point where they actually realized what they were doing.”

Often, just catching the perpetrators is hard enough, as they are constantly on the move, according to Heil.

“If I do find a [survivor], or I hear about the [survivor], they’re going to be gone the next day,” Heil said. “They don’t stay in one place for very long. So, we’ll see them come in and out of the area, but not stay in the area.”

Chancellor responds to SG inclement weather policy changes RYAN BIERI managing editor

Chancellor Randy Pembrook attended the Student Government meeting Monday evening to give feedback on a resolution SG recently passed which called for changes in the inclement weather policy at SIUE. The resolution calls for a timeline of class/campus cancellation, and specific metrics to guide when one of the three campuses — East St. Louis, Alton and Edwardsville — should cancel classes or close the university for the day. It asks the university to close or cancel classes when temperatures reach -5 degrees, or when the wind chill drops below -18 degrees.

Pembrook said that he thought the metrics provided by SG could be incorporated into the university’s revised inclement weather plan, but that the nature of weather reporting, and the speed at which the weather can change, might lead to some error in implementing the policy.

“I think as long as we recognize that there might be some interesting moments right on the line, as long as you can live with some level of uncertainty about that, I think we can try to put together a policy that speaks to the metrics that you talked about,” Pembrook said.

Pembrook said cancellation announcements should happen at least two hours before the first classes happen: 6 a.m. for daytime classes, 2:30 p.m. for evening classes (those starting after 4:30) or two hours before any severe weather or cold starts if it’s expected in the middle of the day.

Multiple members of SG had questions for Pembrook about the potential use of the policy, but Kathleen Antos, senator for the School of Nursing and a senior nursing major from Crest Hill, Illinois, had another perspective to offer the chancellor.

“I understand the two hour estimate to cancel beforehand for the general university public, but from the perspective from

the school of nursing: some clinicals we have to be there at 6:30 in the morning, so we would already be on our way, but if school was canceled then clinical would also be canceled,” Antos said. “So there, we might be driving for 45 minutes so we would already be driving to clinical when that call would be made.”

Pembrook then went on to ask Antos what time she thought nursing students would need a closure announcement by, and Antos told him 5:30 a.m.

Tammy Taylor, associate director of the Career Development Center also spoke at the meeting about the services the center offers for students.

Taylor said the center helps students change or pick majors, hosts the career fairs, provides professional wardrobes to students for free and holds mock interviews.

“One of the things that we have found is students, when it comes to interviewing, they’re kind of scared of it. They don’t

know what to do, they don’t know how to dress, they don’t know what to expect, they don’t know they should be asking employers questions. We go through all of that sort of thing,” Taylor said. “We also talk about little habits that you might have that you don’t want to do when you’re

interviewing. For example, I twist my hair. I just twist, and I twist, and I twist. Not for any reason, I just do it. If I’m on an interview, I want to make sure I don’t do that.”

The next SG meeting will be held at 6 p.m. on Oct. 21 in the Goshen Lounge.

Innovation Loft provides work space for SIUE engineering students SCOTT MARION Edwardsville Intelligencer (TNS)

10.02.19 An officer responded to a report of a smoke detector being covered and cited Lakiarrah K. Perry under a city ordinance for tampering with a smoke detector.

10.03.19 An officer took a report regarding an employee saying there was a screenshot about a male subject approaching female subjects and trying to take their keys.

10.04.19 An officer took a report in the MUC regarding food that was taken and not paid for. The suspect was found and agreed to pay for the food taken from Center Court.

10.06.19 An officer responded to Bluff Hall for a follow-up investigation. After smelling cannabis smoke, they requested consent to search the area.

Quinton T. Hamilton was charged with city ordinance citations for possession of cannabis and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Officers responded to a disturbance call at North University Drive near Cougar Lake Drive. The disagreement was over payment for a ride to a residence. All parties involved left the area. During the investigation, a stun gun was found in the vehicle and was placed in an evidence locker at the police department.

Engineering students at SIUE have a new space to work in, thanks in part to Ed Grady and the School of Engineering.

The Grady Family Foundation Innovation Loft, which is now open, is located on the second floor of the school’s new Fowler Student Design Center.

The Innovation Loft is an agile, reconfigurable space designed to support collaboration and innovation for project teams in the School of Engineering.

The 1,200-square-foot space will be on display during the ribbon-cutting event for the Fowler Student Design Center at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 30.

“During the facility expansion five years ago, unfortunately, we did not have enough money to add some needed spaces,” Cem Karacal, dean of the School of Engineering, said. “As of now, we have over 35 student organizations and they usually do not have dedicated space for their

activities. A lot of the students’ projects, including our senior design projects, were done in separate department laboratories, so we thought if we would set aside space with prototyping equipment for students to do the design first, then move to fabrication, it would be very valuable.”

As SIUE moved ahead with its plans to create a new student design center, Grady stepped forward.

A civil engineering graduate from SIUE in 1972, Grady made an initial gift of $300,000 to kickstart the Student Design Center project. It was the first private donation toward the project.

Grady later contributed an additional $400,000 for Phase II of the project, including the Innovation Loft, and acquired naming rights for the second floor.

The total cost for the Student Design Center is nearly $6 million, half of which came from university funds, with the remaining coming from private donations, including the Fowler family/J.F. Electric and Ralph

Korte.

Grady has also donated $300,000 to create two endowed scholarships, one in the School of Engineering and one in the School of Business, that will support entrepreneurship among engineering professionals.

“Ed Grady is one of our earlier graduates and he became a very successful entrepreneur who has started several companies,” Karacal said. “He decided to return a favor to the school by investing in it.”

As of Monday, the Innovation Loft was essentially complete, other than signage and three flat-screen video monitors.

The loft has an open, airy feel, with plenty of tables, chairs and couches that can be easily rearranged. An erasable whiteboard covers one wall and is used for calculations and messages.

The initial plan for the Innovation Loft space was to use it as a design lab where students could interact with one another on conceptual designs, and they would then go downstairs to fabricate

their creations. Under the final plan, design and fabrication will take place in the same space.

“We realized that a borderless, continuous space, with a lot of collaboration opportunities and a high level of connectivity, are becoming the norm for engineering design space,” Karacal said. “Ed is coming from the West Coast, so he has been exposed to that kind of work environment.

We started investigating and finding out what would be the best space for our students, and we decided to knock all the walls down and use modular furniture coupled with display devices like large monitors. Students can wirelessly connect for their projects with team space, and depending on the size, they can add or shrink the space they are using.

Flexibility is important.”

During the design process for the Innovation Loft, Karacal and Chris Gordon, associate dean for the School of Engineering, visited several large companies in the St. Louis area for visual inspiration.

New Legacy program offers leadership opportunities for students SHANE WHEATLEY copy editor

New on campus, the Legacy program is a way for students who want to expand upon their leadership skills to get involved and grow.

This program meets every two weeks and changes up the topics of discussion based on student needs. These activities and discussions usually revolve around topics such as leadership skills, communication, and involvement on campus. The program is designed to expand students’ resources pertaining to leadership.

Melinda Daniels, the facilitator for the program working through the Kimmel Student Involvement Center, said they went through a selective process to choose students who would fit well into a group model like Legacy.

“We had applicants submit their application earlier this semester, and then we conducted an interview process,” Daniels said.

“And then we selected folks that we thought had previous leadership experience.”

While this program is open to every student who wants to get involved, registration to join will have to wait until next year, as they don’t accept applicants midway through their sessions. Daniels said they had some specific criteria they look for in applicants as well.

“We wanted folks that would be dedicated to this program, not with fear of someone starting the first couple,” Daniels said. “We wanted to make sure it was a group of folks that was dedicated to being a part of it.”

Students who want to get involved but find that they don’t have enough previous leadership

experience to make it into Legacy have an alternate route they can take to still be involved, Daniels said.

“We’ve got a bunch of other programs,” Daniels said. “Emerging Leaders is a program that SIUE used to offer … brought it back completely refreshed. That’s for any beginning level leader. It’s an eight week long model as opposed to the full year.”

Josie Smith, a graduate biological science student, said that they like to keep all of their meetings fresh and interactive.

Going forward into future years, they’re hoping to expand Legacy to more and more students.

“At our meeting, we focused on interactive introductions with the other members, going over expectations for the group, identifying our feedback partner,” Smith said. “And engaged in activ-

ities that rely on teamwork, trust, goal-setting and lots of creativity.”

While this is their first year starting this program, they expect it to expand and pick up more students in future years. Jared AuBuchon, a student administration graduate student working with the Student Leadership Council, thinks this was the perfect time for Legacy to start.

“With Legacy. this is a good year to start where we’re at because of all these new programs,” AuBuchon said, “and we’re hoping to expand with more numbers and what worked and what didn’t work and making sure they’re expanding their involvement. If you’re interested and have been involved with leadership, you can always apply next year.”

During their offseasons, both basketball teams have been focusing not only on getting into shaping for games, but also on giving back to the community that supports them.

In recent months, men’s basketball has volunteered with the Edwardsville Children’s Museum, served free meals at a local church, spoken about leadership at a local middle school, visited students of all ages at St. Boniface Parish School in Edwardsville and attended an Alzheimer’s Walk, according to Head Coach Brian Barone.

Barone said the team does not typically post about the volunteer work they do because that is not the main intention behind them volunteering.

“We don’t always promote all of that stuff because it’s not necessarily just trying to get us out there to say, ‘Hey, look what we did,’” Barone said. “It’s really something that’s bettering all sides of this kind of agreement. And we’re able to go out there kind of behind the scenes sometimes and just become better people.”

However, Barone said posting about an event the team volunteers at can be beneficial in some cases to raise awareness for a cause.

“Then there’s times like the Alzheimer’s Walk where you want to raise awareness,” Barone said. “We were a part of this, and anything that’s retweeted or put out there, it’s bringing more awareness to the Alzheimer’s Association.”

Junior guard Zeke Moore said one of his favorite volunteer projects was when he, Barone and freshman forward Lamar Wright spoke to middle schoolers about the value of leadership skills. “[We] went to Liberty Middle School and talked to seventh and eighth graders about leadership and those virtue qualities people should have in life and what it means to be a leader,” Moore said. “I think those are qualities that we could see more of in the world.”

Moore also said he feels it is the team’s responsibility to give back and he sees other benefits of doing volunteer work beyond just supporting a good cause.

“Being a student-athlete here, representing Edwardsville, it’s always important to give back to the community because people look up to us, just like we look up to people,” Moore said. “It’s always nice to make sure people understand that we’re just normal kids like anyone else.”

Barone agreed that doing volunteer work is beneficial for the team as well as the organi-

zations they are serving.

“As much as it’s a service to whatever event we’re helping out with, it probably does more for our young men and our team,” Barone said. “It puts in perspective what it’s like to be a team for a cause bigger than yourself.”

The team plans to return to schools they’ve previously visited, visit the Children’s Hospital in St. Louis and open more of their practices to groups of young boys and girls, according to Barone. Even so, he said he wishes they could do more.

“Unfortunately, you can’t do them all because we’re also practicing and our guys are going to school, but we want to be there if the time permits or make the time sometimes,” Barone said. “But also, logistically if it works within our travel schedule and things like that — we’re always all ears to help.”

Women’s basketball has also been doing a lot of volunteer work during their off season, especially with St. Mary’s School in Edwardsville. Players read to students and volunteer at their annual fair, according to junior guard/ forward Zaria Whitlock.

The team also volunteered at a summer camp in St. Louis for at-risk youths, where they taught the kids how to exercise properly and the importance of school. They also served free meals to families in Collinsville, Illinois, according to junior guard Christen King.

King said the summer camp stood out to her as effective because she was able to form deep bonds with the children over a long period of time.

“I think [the St. Louis camp] affected me the most because it was such a close in-

SPORTs in brief

teraction with the kids, and, of course, it was probably one of the longest we’ve ever done,” King said. “It was a daily interaction with the same children and getting to know them and their personalities and where they came from.”

Whitlock said she also found the St. Louis camp to be one of the most impactful volunteer experiences she’s had with the team, as it provided the children with accessible role models who looked like them.

“Going into St. Louis, we obviously got to see ... kids of color, who I feel like generally are the most underprivileged and kind of get pushed to the side because what they need is not valued as much,” Whitlock said. “So, it was cool for us to go down there and actually have kids who could see people who look like them in a successful position.”

King, like Barone and Moore, said doing volunteer work together also benefits the team, bringing them closer together. “[Volunteering as a team] is another bonding experience,” King said. “Going out and helping the community helps you to realize what you have, but it also helps in understanding your teammates and understanding how much they also care and that we’re all in it for one goal. And at the end of the day, we are basketball players, but we also care about other people.”
