The rideshare giant’s ballot proposition could upend the legal industry. Critics call it an “inhumane” attempt at corporate greed.

A little behind-the-scenes on how I investigated sex trafficking allegations in some of SF's most elite and powerful circles. Thanks @JesseAlejandro and @EmilyDreyfuss for having me on the show!

[The San Francisco Standard @sfstandard]

San Francisco nightlife fixture Michael “Mickey” Gerold led a seemingly charmed life of private clubs and powerful friends. But his ex-girlfriend Emilia London claims that behind closed doors, he arranged for her to have sex with men for money. The earnings, totaling more than $100,000, went completely to fund Gerold’s lifestyle, London said.

Last September, while reporting in San Francisco family court, I sat through a hearing I couldn’t shake.

On the stand was Michael “Mickey” Gerold. He said he was a public figure and a staple in elite SF circles — and the target of a smear campaign.

I left with questions.

[Anya Schultz @anyaviolet]

I’m especially grateful to Emilia London for trusting me with her story and making the difficult decision to speak publicly.

Domestic violence and coercive control don’t always look the way people expect. Often, the most lasting harm is the least visible.
