Charles Manson was a Sex Trafficker
And the women and men in his Family were victims
On March 21, 1967, 32-year old Charles ‘Charlie’ Manson was released from Terminal Island, a federal correction institute in Southern California. Manson had served nearly two decades in prisons, jails and youth detention centers on charges including petty larceny, auto theft, check fraud and pimping. Less than three years after his ’67 release, Charlie was again in a jail cell, where he spent the rest of his miserable life.
During an earlier stint at Terminal, Charlie sought mentorship from the pimps. They coached him on how to control girls but warned Manson to stay away from the nuttier ones.
Manson was first released from Terminal in the fall of 1958. While on release in Los Angeles, Charlie began pimping. Pimping cemented Charlie’s opinion of the fairer sex. He’d clearly developed a deep-seated resentment toward women and felt that not only was it his right to ‘knock them down a peg’ but that women actually required such treatment for them to function as the good Lord intended.
He went back to prison on mail fraud and check forging charges, and was released in 1967. He wound up in San Francisco, where he hoped to launch a music career.
