This is not what this article in the Chronicile said just last summer:
"In addition to the San Francisco probe, a second investigation netted an unknown number of arrests in Los Angeles, Santa Monica, Anaheim and elsewhere, authorities said."
"Law enforcement authorities and those who counsel women rescued from sexual slavery say the sex trade smuggles 18,000 to 20,000 undocumented sex workers into the United States each year. Typically, sex slave victims pay tens of thousands of dollars to get here, only to be forced into prostitution to pay off their debts. In some cases, the girls or women have been kidnapped from their home countries."
