This is an article about a 29-year-old woman who was charged in July of this year for sex trafficking in her Minneapolis home. She housed 2 young, runaway teens in her home while they engaged in sexual acts for money. The 29-year-old woman received money from the teens for letting them stay with her and used it to buy drugs. She knew there were sexual acts happening in her home, and was buying ads to feature the teens. She was arrested and charged on multiple accounts and faces up to 20 years in prison or a $50,000 fine.
I think it is unbelievable that one would even think about housing runaways for prostitution. For what price? A couple extra bucks to pay for your drugs. I find it sickening this is happening so close to us and it seems no one is doing anything to stop it. Law enforcement should be working harder to try to stop the lives of young, innocent girls.
I thank it's wonderful that this "Madame" was arrested. I think that as awareness heightens on this subject and more people become more knowledgeable about this recent trend, I think we'll see more intervention by Law Enforcement and groups that will try and prevent this from happening in the future. I agree with you, this situation is sickening and it's awful that there are people in this world that would choose to exploit someones vulnerability and innocence
