The links between pornography and human trafficking have long been established, but rarely have the connections been so horribly apparent as in a recent story reported on earlier this month by Newsweek. The mother of a 15-year-old girl from South Florida who had been missing for almost a year discovered that her daughter was still alive when pornographic photographs and videos of the missing teen were published online.
According to the arrest report of the 30-year-old man who she was found with, the girl, who remains unnamed due to the fact that she is still a minor, had also appeared in fifty-eight porn videos and had appeared on Periscope, Modelhub, Pornhub, and Snapchat. At one point during the time she spent under this man’s control, she ended up getting pregnant and told detectives that she was forced to have an abortion against her will.
They should try him for murder. And, they should fine all those sites for posting underage girls in the nude.
