The issue of human trafficking, which is domestic, is basically modern slavery, in that the organized crime groups, criminal enterprises, usually control every aspect of that young woman's life. They are literally branded the way the slaves once were. I've been focusing a lot in the United States. The FBI has set up a special squad of agents around the country who do nothing but fight pimps and trafficking networks. They have a whole network, and we have not yet caught up at that level. They are using criminal RICO legislation to go after the networks.
