Underage Sex Trafficking: Don't Get Your Facts From Ashton Kutcher

There is a lot of controversy over the numbers of adult woman who are forced sex slaves. The real factual answer is that no one knows.  There is hard evidence that the sex slavery/sex trafficking issue continues to report false information and is greatly exaggerated by politicians, the media, and aid groups, feminist and religious organizations that receive funds from the government,  The estimate of adult women who become new sex slaves ranges anywhere from 40 million a year to 5,000 per year all of which appear to be much too high.  They have no evidence to back up these numbers, and no one questions them about it.  Their sources have no sources, and are made up numbers. In fact if some of these numbers are to believed which have either not changed or have been increased each year for the past twenty years, all woman on earth would currently be sex slaves.  Yet, very few real forced against their will sex slaves have been found. 

It is not easy for criminals to engage in Sex Trafficking activity:Sex trafficking is illegal and the penalties are very severe.  It is very difficult to force someone to be a sex slave, they would have to have 24 hour guards posted and be watched 365 days a year, 24 hours per day. Have the threat of violence if they refused, and have no one notice and complain to the authorities or police. They would need to hide from the general public yet still manage to see customers from the general public and not have the customers turn the traffickers in to the police.  They would need to provide them with medical care, food, shelter, and have all their basic needs met.  They would need to have the sex slaves put on a fake front that they enjoyed what they were doing, act flirtatious and do their job well.  They would have to deal with the authorities looking for the missing women, and hide any money they may make, since it comes from illegal activity. They must do all of this while constantly trying to prevent the sex slaves from escaping and reporting them to the police. They would need to prevent the general public from reporting them into the police. This is extremely difficult to do, which makes this activity rare. These criminals would be breaking dozens of major laws not just one.  Kidnapping itself is a serious crime.  There are many laws against sex trafficking, sex slavery, kidnapping, sex abuse, rape, sexual harassment etc.   If someone is behind it, they will be breaking many serious laws, be in big trouble, and will go to jail for many long years.  While there are some women who may be true victims. And it is possible for this to happen in rare situations. This is a small rare group of people and that the numbers and scale of this crime is exaggerated. The very nature of someone pulling off a kidnapping and forced sex for profit appears to be very difficult. Since it would be difficult this makes this crime rare. Not impossible, but extremely rare. And do you really think that millions of people are lining up to make a career out of being a illegal violent sex slave kidnapping pimp?A key point is that on the sidelines the adult prostitutes themselves are not being listened to. They oppose laws against prostitution.   But no one wants to listen to the prostitutes themselves.  Only to the self appointed experts that make up numbers and stories many of which have never met a real forced sex slave or if they did it was only a few. The media and government never ask the prostitutes themselves what would help them in terms of laws.Here are some good websites about this:http://sextraffickingtruths.bl...http://bebopper76.wordpress.co...http://the-myth-of-sex-traffic...

How about we stop using numbers as a way to hide from the issue at hand. Even if is is a smaller number, stop wasting your time fighting it and use it to combat the issue.

How does the number of arrests equal the number of children who are actually involved in sex trafficking? It seems pretty hypocritical to claim Ashton and Demi are misrepresenting facts, when the article is attempting to manipulate the numbers by comparing 100,000-3,00,000 with 8,000, when Ashton and Demi are not talking about "arrests" but the potential number of kids involved.

I've read that the number of women who report being raped is only 10%.  You might scoff at that as being a misrepresentation too, but I can look to my own life and friends.  I've known several women who have told me they've been raped, but only ONE of those women reported it.  So by my own experience, about 10% of the women I know have reported it.  These are the kinds of things that are used to draw up estimates.  If you multiply 8,000 by 10, you get  a pretty big fucking number.

The number may be more accurate than you think. The low number of arrests can be the result of only checking the statistics of major metro areas.  However, every huge city has its suburbs. How does America move its freight? Big rig across concrete. These are the infamous cat houses on wheels. These girls, mostly girls, aren't being picked up, because they are mobile, in effect a cornfield cage. They know no one, and anything that could resemble help is invisible. They can be moved to the next city before an arrest warrant is signed. The authorities need to be searching in the Truckstops of America.
