Frontline: Sex Slaves

[Rickypt]

Did anyone see this documentary? I watched it last night and it was probably the most disturbing show I've ever seen. This is one of those thing that you want to believe doesn't really happen. Young women from poor Eastern European countries are lured to Turkey with an offer of good employment and then forced into prostitution slavery.

One particularly heartbreaking story was a woman who was able to escape, but then went back voluntarily to be a prostitute on her own because it was the only way she could make money to pay for her little brother's medical treatment.

I know this stuff goes on all over the world and it is just mindboggling that so little is being done. Police are bribed and do nothing. There is no justice--one guy who "sold" a woman to pimps for $1,000 was given 5 years probation as his sentence.

So much pure evil in the world.
