Another harrowing escape puts attention on open prostitution along Seattle's Aurora Avenue FOX13
Authorities say they are looking for more possible victims after linking the man, Negasi Zuberi, to violent sexual assaults in at least four other states. His newly appointed public defender, Devin Huseby, declined to comment Thursday.
The defendant in that case, Winston Burt, was arrested soon after and now faces federal sex trafficking and gun charges. He has pleaded not guilty. Authorities say a man who posed as an undercover police officer kidnapped a woman in Seattle, drove her hundreds of miles to his home in Oregon, and kept her in a makeshift cell from which she eventually escaped and found help.
A woman speaks with the driver of a vehicle while another loiters nearby outside a business along Aurora Avenue North in Seattle, an area known for prostitution, on Thursday, Aug. 3, 2023. Last week the city declared the Emerald Motel and the Seattle Inn to be chronic nuisances. The declaration requires the owners to submit a plan explaining how they will prevent their properties from being used for criminal behavior, Housen said. Failure to comply can result in fines.
Cory Cocktail, the co-founder of the Seattle sex worker outreach organization Green Light Project, said sex work is inherently risky, but outdoor work is especially so because of the difficulty in vetting clients. Shutting down free online sites like the Craigslist personals section and Backpage, which authorities said was used for illegal sex trafficking, helped drive some sex work onto the streets, he suggested.
