Saving Las Vegas Hookers

Annie Lobert is doing God's work. Some people try to justify prostitution, but when a woman needs to take drugs in order to get through her work day, something is very very wrong. I pray that Annie is wildly successful in helping Las Vegas prostitutes to get respectable work and lives. No amount of money can compensate for the damage done to these women's characters and souls as prostitutes.

When people joke, "what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas" I feel sad. I remember the women whose lives are being destroyed, piece by piece, night by night. There is nothing funny about that.


Meet Annie Lobert -- a former prostitute with a singular mission: saving Las Vegas hookers.
Lobert, and her faith-based mission -- which she calls "Hookers for Jesus" -- are the focus of "Hookers: Saved on the Strip," a three-part series premiering Dec. 8 on Investigation Discovery.
"When I used to get arrested and the vice [cops] called me a 'hooker,' it really offended me," Lobert told The Post. "So one day I was thinking, if I was reaching out to women and starting to go into casinos and saying, 'I can help you change your life,' and calling myself Annie, it would be a weird thing -- 'Annie Lobert's Reach Out.'
"So I figured Hookers for Jesus. I believe in God, for one, and I was a hooker and now I go and fish for people [to save]."
TV cameras follow Lobert as she tries to teach ex-call girls how to turn their lives around.
