Well then, why did you start another thread about how there must be scores of these tortured and drugged women in Vancouver and other cities in Canada?
It's all fear-mongering and driving up the profits of the news organizations and not to mention the "non-profit" organizations like the Salvation Army. This movie is pure fiction as not one shred of evidence exists to corroborate this woman's story. No police reports, no news articles about her. It's like she was invented to promote the movie which in turn promotes bullshit in the media which contributes to the fear-mongering and exaggerated stories driving up the charitable profits of Christian "rescue" organizations that then leads to laws being changed banning legal, safe and consensual sex-for-sale. I'm sick of it!
I don't want to give the impression that trafficking for prostitution doesn't exist because it does but if the US State Department claims that it is a 32-billion dollar a year business worldwide then why is so little done about it? And how do they come up with that figure if so much of it is underground? Like most politicians, they pull it out of their collective asses.
I'm with Peaceguy on this, that these sexy stories sell newspapers whereas the reality of it is that the real people being exploited are the labourers and domestics who do the jobs none of us want to do. You think those stories sell ad space and subscriptions to the Vancouver Sun website? You've got to have rocks in your head if you think that men will line up to see a chained-up, abused and drug-addicted SP and it may actually turn out to be some sick fuck's fantasy to see a woman in this state but eventually someone is going to say something to somebody! Don't you think the story would have made a headline by now if it was so widespread?
They're blowing it out their ass. Don't believe everything you see in the movies. It is entertainment, after all.

Sex slavery does exist, but not so much in the western world. It is more prevalent in developing countries or societies that are in some sort of turmoil that causes the breakdown of social fabric (war, economic depression, etc, etc), mainly because legal protections and enforcement is very weak in those places and those sorts of situations. Typically in that scenario the law is the guy with the gun, so bad things happen, not just sexual and other forms of slavery, many other things as well.
Trafficking on the other hand is widespread, but, contrary to popular belief, does not involve slavery. The media and certain vested interests make out that they are one and the same, but they are not, although obviously on occasion there might be overlap. Most people who are trafficked are in that position voluntarily, for economic reasons, and most pay to be trafficked. Either up front, or in the form of a debt. Usually they rely on the traffickers to facilitate their ability to make money, and for which the trafficker takes a sizable cut. In that sense they are exploited, but they are NOT slaves.

According to that blog there were a whole bunch of girls, and the people raping them were half American and half Russian, with a few others here and there. That does not seem very credible. That would mean a whole lot of Russian men, why would they need to go all the way to Arizona to rape someone?
I think it just a story, that sells well because it plays into peoples fears.

she didn't actually say 'meat hooks' in the blog story did she?
i wonder if she even knows what a meat hook looks like?

Yes that's what I was referring to. Thx Emmy. Yes, it's 'tittilating' to make a movie about this and sex sells obviously. But instead of some really low budget indy film, this one actually has relatively famous people in it. So there's some hope that this film gets noticed. People complain about the issues surrounding sex trafficking barely making the light of day in popular media, yet when a film such as this comes out, they complain about how unrealistic it is. Guess what? it's Hollywood and if you are expecting realism you need to give your head a shake. Be glad that, despite the entertainment value of such a film....people are at least talking about it.
I think her account is a mish mash of stories from places like eastern Europe after the fall of communism, when things like that really did happen, and put into a US context. The scale of everything as alleged by the account is simply too large to be credible. There is no way something like that on that scale could go undetected for any length of time in an ordered society.
