Shirib wrote:u almost made selling girls into sex, as a normal thing
shirib, what u saw was just for fun which doesn't reflect where i stand on this saga. I am still like about their stupidity.
What made me and laugh so much is that a former client of somali escort services was on the news today saying what these kids have done is unimaginable.
"The indictment provides little detail regarding how they were recruited or coerced, other than to say that one was "enticed" into having sex with gang members before she was turned over to paying customers.
Another, who had an argument with her mother and left home, approached one of the women who was indicted -- Hamdi Ali Osman, or "Big Hamdi" or "Boss Lady" -- for help. Osman allegedly told the girl that she would support her with housing and food in exchange for her having sex with customers."
"The brother-in-law of another defendant said he was shocked to hear of the charges against his relative. "What I believe is he didn't do nothing," the brother-in-law said. "I don't know where this came from."
Outside the courtroom where his pregnant sister, Bibi Ahmed Said, had just made her first appearance, Abdi Said denied his sister's involvement in a sex trafficking ring. Bibi Siad is charged with attempting to influence the testimony of somebody who was going to testify to the grand jury.
Abdi Said said his sister is in trouble because of her husband's gang affiliation, and "some things he did in Tennessee."

The 29 people charged are: Abdifitah Jama Adan, 28; Abdullahi Sade Afyare, 19; Ahmad Abnulnasir Ahmad, 23; Yahya Jamal Ahmed, 23; Abdikarim Osman Ali, 22; Musse Ahmed Ali, 23; Hassan Ahmed Dahir, 21; Fadumo Mohamed Farah, 25; Idris Ibrahim Fahra, 22; Yasin Ahmed Farah, 19; Abdullahi Hashi, 24; Fatah Haji Hashi, 23; Abdirahman Abdirazak Hersi, 20; Muhiyadin Hassan Hussein, 22; Dahir Nor Ibrahim, 38; Abdifatah Bashir Jama, 23; Andrew Kayachith, 20; Abdigadir Ahmed Khalif, 24; Bashir Yasin Mohamud, 26; Mustafa Ahmed Mohamed, 22; Fuad Faisal Nur, 24; Abdifatah Sharif Omar, 25; Liban Sharif Omar, 21; Mohamed Sharif Omar, 26; Hamdi Ali Osman, 22; Haji Osman Salad, 20; Bibi Ahmed Said, 19; Ahmed Aweys Sheik, 24; Yassin Abdirahman Yusuf, 21.
Twelve of the defendants, including two of the women, made a first appearance in U.S. District Court in Minneapolis on Monday afternoon.
Seven were remanded to the U.S. Marshals Service pending their next court appearance. Five were released pending their next appearance; four of those were let go on a $25,000 unsecured bond. U.S. Magistrate Franklin Noel said they would not have to put up money, but that if they did not make future appearances, they would owe the government $25,000.
Osman, 21, has been in Minnesota for 14 years, her attorney said. Her mother and brother are in the area, and she is working.
But Assistant U.S. Attorney David Steinkamp said Osman's prior criminal record is serious, including a felony theft from a person in Hennepin County and a guilty plea to disorderly conduct. He also said U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement had put an immigration hold on Osman.
The judge ordered Osman be detained until her next hearing Friday.
Bibi Said's attorney argued for her release pending a removal hearing based on her age — she is 19 — and the fact that Said is "seven or eight months pregnant." The attorney said Said is a full-time student with family ties in Minnesota.
Noel granted the temporary release for Said until her next hearing Friday.
Of the three women charged, only Said is not charged with trafficking offenses. The charges against her include false declaration/perjury and "corruptly" persuading and attempting to persuade another person's testimony before the grand jury.
The five defendants who were temporarily released will be monitored electronically.
Omar Jamal, first secretary to Somalia's ambassador to the United Nations, was in the Minneapolis court Monday and said he had talked to relatives of four of the people charged. They "were completely in disbelief," he said. "That doesn't mean nothing happened, but ... engaging in sex trafficking with a minor is a new trend, a new kind of crime they hadn't been aware of."
