I think that's one of the things we were referencing. There's a bit of an equation that traffickers use. If the sentence isn't appropriate, traffickers see that potentially as part of the risk of committing the crime. I mentioned the experience of a victim who raised an estimated $620,000 for her trafficker over a two-year period. If there's an insignificant sentence that comes along with that, it's part of the risk that traffickers are willing to take on to make that amount of money. That's just one individual. If we were talking about an individual who had trafficked 10 or 20 victims and we start to compound the actual dollar amounts, then maybe a year or a couple of years in prison is not a bad risk.
