Borneo Jimmy posted:You cannot go a day without some news source trumpeting sex trafficking as an epidemic and the new slavery, or a local newspaper clamin their city is the capitol of the sex trade. Of course like any trendy cultural panics, these have roots that go back decades, with fears Latin American drug cartels lurking malls to seduce white suburban teenagers into being prostituted at the Superbowl replacing fears of Italian candy store owners or Jewish pimps lurking nickelodeons to abduct naive Anglo Saxon girls. I'm not seeing the evidence that sex trafficking isn't epidemic. Even the article you're posting doesn't actually challenge this point; it just whines about how it's racist wrongthink to worry about it.

Borneo Jimmy posted:The numbers thrown around have been repeatley debunked. http://www.villagevoice.com/2011-06-29/news/real-men-get-their-facts-straight-sex-trafficking-ashton-kutcher-demi-moore/ Huh. Not surprising to see an inaccurate statistic spread as a result of journalists misreading a study. Having said that, the Village Voice is being disingenuous as hell in assuming that arrests for child prostitution in a handful of cities is much more accurate a metric.
