The show is called "Our America with Lisa Ling" and the particular episodes you're talking about is called "3 AM Girls - Lisa Ling Goes Undercover".

Good for Lisa or any journalist who talks about the sex trade in America - and the rest of the world. But the story isn't just about the traffickers and the victims. The usual way of dealing with the sex trade is to take a completely gutless, "let's pretend they have nothing to do with this" approach towards those men (and women) who are the disgusting human beings who use the sex trade and in so many case the sex slaves. The ones who actually assault them and degrade them for their own pleasure.

This ignoring is being done to protect the guilty. Until we face the horrible fact that the customers of the sex trade and sex slaves are not just criminals and the dregs of our society but they are our husbands, sons, fathers, brothers, grandfathers, uncles etc. nothing will change and this will continue. We KNOW the customers. We live with them, we work with them, we live next door to them, our kids are taught by them, we go to their offices and stores and we transact business with them. We even go to church and pray with them. It is time to put a face to the other participating criminals of this grotesque crime. We need to stop the sex traffickers but we also need to face the reality of just who is committing the biggest part of this crime. THEY should be made known.

The sex trade and sexual slavery (especially of underage girls and boys) is a multi-billion dollar business and the money to buy the use of these human beings is coming from all levels of our society. Names should be named and the customers should be prosecuted. This is not being done because of WHO is guilty. The sex trade and sex slaves wouldn't even exist without the customers. And yet they get a free pass.
