Introduction
As I documented in this in-depth piece, child sex trafficking — the buying and selling of women, young girls and boys for sex — has become big business in America. It is the fastest growing business in organized crime and the second most-lucrative commodity traded illegally after drugs and guns. Adults purchase children for sex at least 2.5 million times a year in the United States… Who buys a child for sex? … Ordinary men, yes. But then there are the extra-ordinary men, such as Jeffrey Epstein, who belong to a powerful, wealthy, elite segment of society that operates according to their own rules… These men skate free of accountability by taking advantage of a criminal justice system that panders to the powerful, the wealthy and the elite…. Here’s the thing: Epstein did not act alone.

Children, Teens and Women are “Safer to Sell” Than Drugs or Guns
Sex trafficking — especially when it comes to the buying and selling of young girls — has become big business in America… As Amy Fine Collins notes, “It’s become more lucrative and much safer to sell malleable teens than drugs or guns. A pound of heroin or an AK-47 can be retailed once, but a young girl can be sold 10 to 15 times a day — and a pimp confiscates 100 percent of her earnings.” … It’s estimated that there are 100,000 to 150,000 under-aged child sex workers in the U.S. These girls aren’t volunteering to be sex slaves. They’re being lured — forced — trafficked into it… In order to avoid detection (in some cases aided and abetted by the police) and cater to male buyers’ demand for sex with different women, pimps and the gangs and crime syndicates they work for have turned sex trafficking into a highly mobile enterprise, with trafficked girls, boys and women constantly being moved from city to city, state to state, and country to country. For instance, the Baltimore-Washington area, referred to as The Circuit, with its I-95 corridor dotted with rest stops, bus stations and truck stops, is a hub for the sex trade.
