More human trafficking in our area!

This is sickening!

We have to stop this industry!

December 3, 2025, City of Hammond, LA – In June, the Hammond Fire Prevention Bureau opened an investigation into Steven Bates, 58 years old of Farmersville, California, after learning that Bates had applied for occupational licenses for multiple locations in Hammond.

During the course of the investigation, inspections were conducted at these businesses, where Bates claimed to be working as a hypnotist. Inspectors found female employees dressed in lingerie or scanty clothing who appeared to be living at the businesses, which appeared to be operating as massage parlors.

During a reinspection of one business, all doors were found to be locked. When inspectors knocked, Bates opened the door and spoke with them, but refused to allow them inside—standing in the doorway and blocking the entrance.

In November, the Hammond Fire Prevention Bureau requested the assistance of the Hammond Police Department Narcotics Division. During the now joint investigation, Bates was located sitting in his vehicle in the parking lot of one of the businesses. HPD detectives discovered Bates had felony arrest warrants with the East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff’s Office for violation of Louisiana laws on prostitution, engaging in the practice of massage therapy without a license (2 counts), and pandering (5 counts). He was placed under arrest.

The agencies obtained search warrants for Bates’s businesses and found evidence suggesting that Bates's female employees have been trafficked from out of the State and/or country, as well as evidence of prostitution and money laundering. The female employees were taken into custody. For their protection, their identities are being withheld at this time.

Bates was booked into the Hammond City Jail on the following charges:

LRS 14:46.2 - Human Trafficking

LRS 14:82 - Prostitution (2 Counts)

LRS 14:84 - Pandering

LRS 14:230 - Money Laundering

Fugitive - East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff’s Office

Bates is believed to be tied to numerous massage parlors, and the case has been forwarded to Homeland Security Investigations and the Louisiana Department of Justice to assist in furthering the investigation. This is a complicated investigation and additional charges and arrests are anticipated.

Tips from the community and the partnership between the Hammond Fire Prevention Bureau and the Hammond Police Department is what made Bates's arrest possible.
If you have information on someone operating illegal businesses, promoting prostitution, or human trafficking, please contact the Hammond Police Department Narcotics Division at 985-277-5700, via the Hammond Police Department's page, or through Crime Stoppers of Tangipahoa's anonymous tip line at 1-800-554-5245.

All suspects are innocent until proven guilty.

Yall got me pi**ed off.

This large overreach of power and double taxation on a group of people largely comprised of the underdogs trying to live their American dream is unnecessary.

Do you think regulation of already regulated businesses is going to stop human trafficking rings that you allow to exist in our communities?

How is making me buy another license going to stop human trafficking?

Do you think crime rings care about regulations?

If the king pin, mob boss, underground human trafficking lord pays enough fines and fees is he allowed to still operate?

How can St Tammany Parish allow these repeat offenders to continue to buy and sell women’s bodies ,who are as I suspect victims themselves, to keep going?

The same businesses are the ones pumping out prostitutes time and time again. The s*x workers are deported, they are always illegally smuggled here, and guess what the owners buy a new girl and put her in her place. How is this possible?

Especially after the movie Taken 1, 2, and 3?

Tomorrow I will be at this council meeting and I feel sorry for anyone on the receiving end.

If you would like to show up in solidarity 6pm Koop Drive tomorrow.

If you’re a client and you show up $10 off your next service for being a friend.
