Wake up! This is about trafficking and we have to admit it! This is horrendous and criminal. We have to remember that our cause is "ending trafficking in our time," not defending fellow progressives! I'm a certified investigator with NFS. We've all spent huge capital trying to strengthen the definition of trafficking to INCLUDE underage prostitution - consider MISSSY in Oakland for instance. Now what are we doing making excuses for it? If our movement compromises passion to circle round these thugs just because they vote with us, we've lost our moral compass and our credibility. Choose sides!
