That doesn't sound like the trafficking I think of. Anyone know the legal definition in this case? Still a pos of course but doesn't sound like he's like selling them as sex slaves.. Just statutory prostitutes. In any case, fuck im

He had a recruiter. Underage girls. And all paid for. The case was a federal one, too, and that has impacts.

"Human trafficking, also known as trafficking in persons, is a crime that involves compelling or coercing a person to provide labor or services, or to engage in commercial sex acts."

Seems like this falls under coercing.
