Gillum, 29, from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, confessed to killing a teenage prostitute after they allegedly fought over how much he would pay her

Gillum told investigators that he met Huennekens ‘a few days ago’ where they exchanged numbers and began messaging about exchanging sex for money, according to KTLA. The 19-year-old met Gillum at his home on Saturday, and she said she would leave if he didn’t pay her more for sex.

Gillum said Hueenekens asked him to stop after he tied her up Gillum told authorities that made him angry so he punched her in the mouth, tied her up and then raped her. He then ‘took a knife and stabbed her in the neck’ and said he ‘remembered from watching movies how to stab someone,’ according to court documents about the case.

His initial reasoning for committing the murder was because ‘he sensed something in his head that he had to kill the victim.’ Gillum noticed the victim was ‘suffering’ so he then hit her over the head with a metal pipe so ‘she no longer had to suffer’.

An argument initially started between the pair after he agreed to pay $160 for sex and gave her $200, but she refused to give him change.

He then tied Huennekens to his bed post to prevent her from leaving the house.

2022 Jayne Swift Article:

Research shows that sex workers are particularly vulnerable to physical and sexual violence at work. Globally, sex workers have a 45- 75% chance of experiencing sexual violence on the job. Individual studies of sex work in the US confirm high rates of violence, often from law enforcement. Street workers (who are more likely to be of color, trans, and housing precarious), are especially vulnerable. One New York City-based study of street workers found that 80% had experienced violence and 30% reported violence or threats of violence from law enforcement. A similar study of indoor workers found that 46% had been victims of violence and 14% had experienced police violence. Migrants and LGBTQ sex workers are also more likely to encounter violence.

2023 Pre Covid Sx Work Stats

Fact Sheet: It should be noted that the Sex Worker community is largely unrecognized as a population. This is an injustice and impacts our ability to gather statistics about both our losses and our resiliency. Sex Workers as a demographic need to be recognized and supported and funded so that data can be accurately reflected.

2023 Letter from Dr. Annie

When Ridgeway was finally caught, I felt a need to memorialize my whore sisters that had died so horribly and needlessly. I cared, and I knew other people cared too. So I got together with Robyn Few, Founder of the Sex Worker Outreach Project, and SWOP members Stacey Swimme and Michael Fowley, and we claimed Dec. 17th as the International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers. We invited people to do memorials, vigils, and their chosen kind of events in their countries and cities. We produced a vigil at San Francisco’s City Hall. To date, hundreds of people around the world have done dozens of memorials, actions, and events of all kinds, and the participation is growing. Won’t you join us?
