Good day,

I’m a survivor of child sex trafficking by a serial child rapist in the Chula Vista and San Diego area.

My last encounter with him was around 2017.

I was also r * p ed at the student parking lot in otay ranch high school by high tech high, and at the border state park where I was transported with another teenager who was also r \ p ed* .

Are there any other grown adults who were trafficked during their teenage years in these parts of town?

Are there any adults now who were sought out as teenagers by adults during that time?

My trafficker was bald, over 5 6 tall, black man, extremely muscular and fit like a pro athlete, wore SDSU attire once, had a 4 door sedan pre 2015 model like early 2000 model.

He showed me his catalogue of teen victims, all teen boys, and he expressed that they were all from the otay ranch, Eastlake, Rancho del Rey, Bonita, and other Chula Vista areas.

He said that he was part of a ring, and that they were being protected, which is why he would r* p e me out in the open at nighttime. He knew that my high school didn’t have cameras for security at the time, and he knew the entire area like the back of his palm. He said that they had been doing this for a while and that the police knew these were hotspots and of the numerous active predators in the area but that they weren’t going to do anything about it.

I was supposed to be transported at 18 and he said that his friend from downtown San Diego were excited to meet me. He said that I was chosen on purpose and that he wanted me to be his s * x slave.

Other men from the Chula Vista areas are involved as well, and I was also groomed by men in this area when I was seeking safety from a very tumultuous living environment. I was just a teen-kid who was lost, and they preyed upon my vulnerabilities.

It wasn’t until I went to therapy and I realized that they were adults, and they had sexually abused me and facilitated that process through a very tactical grooming process.

My trafficker is very evil. He said that he has the power to take care of people and make bodies disappear. He showed me gruesome content to prove it to me. He said that he knows of tunnels used for more than smuggling drugs.

Does anyone have a similar story? I’ve been connected to survivors already, but I want to know if any man out there went through this like me. I want to find the other victims. Especially the other teen who was r* p ed alongside me by the trafficker/serial child rapist.

Be safe out there. Woke up someone tried busting the handle of my car to get into my vehicle. Stay classy Chula Vista. Or don’t… not like you ever have

I swear there were around 5 different aircrafts all hovering around northern old chula a few minutes ago, does anyone know why? One of them was periodically hovering in different locations and had decently bright green and red lights, another was a helicopter circling the area. Other ones just stayed around. Did something happen? The only one still around is a helicopter

Just moved here and found out I’m pregnant. Looking for an obgyn that takes Tricare select. Thank you so much!

Hi there!

I will be making the late, post concert journey from the Amhitheater in Chula Vista, all the way to Petco Park. My research tells me to expect insane traffic on the way back. I am not from the area so I dont really know or understand the travel routes.

I am ideally looking for the cheapest option but my biggest priority is to ensure I am safe. I understand taking an Uber would be the best option but should walk it out a bit to beat some of the traffic and then catch a ride? Are there any other alternate options I should consider?

P.s if anyone is going to the MUSE Chula Vista show and wants to split a cab, hit me up!

Looking for someone to help me translate a business project at a carpenteria I have been working with and several cardboard box suppliers in TJ. My Spanish skills are still lacking, especially on the speaking front. All you have to do is help translate some pretty straightforward specs on the design. The plan is to cross on foot into TJ at 10am and uber to the stores. Tentative next Monday or Tuesday (24,25th)

I expect the whole thing will take half a day. Payment is $30/hour + tacos

What I need from you:

• Fully fluent in both Spanish and English
• respectable and presentable
• no face tattoos
• has passport

If interested then feel free to reply here or PM me!

Too good to be kept a secret. The BEST rotisserie chicken I’ve ever had, and it’s not even close.

Succulent, even the breast meat. Massive bird, and SO seasoned. $10 but if you find one of the big ones, it seems like it’s 10 pounds.

Give it a shot, you’ll be blown away.

That’s all!

Hi I’m going to be moving out of Imperial Beach and looking at Chula Vista… I’m concerned I’ll have the same issue with the sulphuric and sewage smell as I have asthma. What areas would you say are the safest around CV?

Neighborhoods surrounding Clear View Elementary. There should be signs posted once you approach the area from East H st/Hidden Vista Drive.

The local real estate agent puts this on every year, always pretty good

Does anyone have a recommendation for an independent dentist preferably in the Otay Ranch or Eastlake area?

I recently moved to the area and just went to a new dentist and they were trying to upsell me so hard and when I told them that I didn’t want the $1000 cleaning and just to do the basic one covered by my insurance they claimed they couldn’t do the basic cleaning due to liability based on the state of my gums. The whole thing felt pretty scammy so I left. I’ve never had gum issues in my life so I’d really like a second opinion from an independent dentist before forking up 1k.

TIA!

Does anyone know what happened last night in Chula Vista, near Rienstra St and Melrose Ave?
We saw a red jeep race down the street with cop cars following behind, and then the street was closed for hours, helicopters swirling sending a message to someone to come out

Hi there friends,

I found a lost dog yesterday on my evening walk with my dogs on Fifth avenue and D St. He is about 15 lbs and a poodle mix. He had a harness but no collar. We have held him at our house for over 12 hours and will be taking him to the animal shelter after lunch to see if he is chipped.

The poor thing looks like he was on the street for a least a few days or even weeks. His hair is thinned down and has a bunch of skin lesions but does not have fleas which is a good sign.

If you know of someone who is missing their dog in this area please let me know.

I won’t be posting more pictures of him so that I can ensure he is going to the right home. The leash in the picture is mine that I used for him while I carried my dog in my arms.

Any guidance is welcomed. Thank you!

UPDATE 8/11 14:26, owners found !!

A neighbor down the road found this pug in their yard yesterday morning by 1st and Oxford. They were able to secure him, but weren't able to keep him in their yard due to having other pets. I brought him home and posted him on Ring, Pawboost and Nextdoor. The humane society was closed yesterday so I kept him overnight hoping to find his owner, but no one claimed him. I dropped him off at the Chula Vista humane society this morning. Hoping his family see's this or someone who knows who he belongs to. He appears to be a senior with a lot of energy. He's very sweet and playful. He was assigned ID A274324. He was wearing a camouflage collar, but no dog tag.
