>Trying to tie this into "human trafficking" is a cruel diversion, just like pornography, terrorism, and drugs.

More than that, it's downright frustrating. Human trafficking is a very real problem in America. It's not even just a problem that applies to illegal Asian or Latin American immigrants either (which might sound like a strange distinction but I've met people with this view). Teens are immensely vulnerable as well and it's ridiculous that something this serious is being used as just another tool in the war on pornography that some groups have been waging for decades.
