End "users" must be held accountable
Kudos to Heather for giving media time to these horrifying, appalling crimes.
Salon needs to cover this issue more often. Unfortunately, sexual slavery is not a punch line in the US - it's happening right here at home. I've read other news articles citing instances of sexual slavery where people were trafficked in from South America and Eastern Europe and sold for a profit all over the United States.
If that's so, it's not just a filthy problem somewhere else, it's our friends and neighbours who are the end users.
Users of human beings.
So this is an American Issue and it needs to be front and center.
