@ozziepost Thanks for the links to those articles! There are 7 or 8 different articles relating to the human trafficking problem that are very good reads. I have only read 3 so far of those but I feel I need to comment on what I have read so far.
The more I read those articles the madder I get at people like Lloyd Evans. He, and other like him, are what is keeping these creeps in business. I feel that if they forget about the top tier individuals and go after the little guys, like Lloyd, they would make more of a dent in resolving this issue. The top tier guys are almost untouchable. They can pay off officials, as recounted in one of the articles, an official being "bought" to look the other way and help them with rorting visas. Go for the money they cannot control, the money still in the little guy's pocket before they pay for sex. Concentrate arresting the "Johns" and that money never flows to the top tier people in these crime organizations.
It takes years or even decades, as stated, to build a case against the top "bosses" when it just takes a cop being out on the street night after night catching "Johns" trying to pick up known prostitutes. One of the problems with prosecuting the "bosses" is that the victims are scared to testify against them, and rightly so they should be scared. The evidentiary threshold is so high when going after these "bosses" as well. Prosecuting "Johns" does not require the testimony of known prostitutes, so they are never in harm's way.
One thing I hated reading about, but it is 100% true, is it stated that these victims are not there willingly and are essentially being raped over and over again every time they have sex for money. I knew this internally but seeing it in writing and thinking about those poor victims just intensified the anger in me. Lloyd Evans in essentially a rapist and he commits rape every time he has sex with a prostitute!
I will read the rest of the articles later when my anger has gone down a bit.
