Some law enforcement officials have gotten together to give presentations on human trafficking. It’s sad that when I see an article like this, it appears to be Human Trafficking 101 and the narrative is pushed that it’s new to everybody and we need to understand what’s going on.
It’s a brutal form of organized crime that entices young women to come to the United States with promises of legal employment, and traps them in prostitution or forced labor with violence against them and often death threats to families back home, the top prosecutors said.
“The women were all vulnerable, they had all been courted by men,” Milgram recalled of one Brooklyn-based prostitution ring she prosecuted. “There were rapes, there were forced abortions. . . . We characterized some of it as torture.”
“We’re only going to make progress on this . . . by making everyone understand what a big problem this is,” Christie said. “I tell people in law enforcement, “All you have to do is have one of these cases, and you’ll understand.’ “
