Mexican Sex Trafficking Coming to USA

The Mexican sex trafficking has been growing more rapidly than drug trafficking recently and spilling into the United States more with each passing day.  The experiences of multiple women who were liberated from their slavery in New York, New York are told anonymously in this article.  This article was written to shed light on what these people experience since human trafficking is an issue that most people do not pay attention to.  One woman speaks of eloping with her boyfriend, who turned out to be a pimp.  He would verbally, physically, and sexually assault her for any form of rebellion against her place in the world. She was forced to have sex with dozens of men for as many as 18 hours a day at the age of 14. She faced horribly brutal punishment if she did not manage to earn $600 per day.  Her average rate was a few dollars for 15 minutes.  She describes being beaten by phone cord, a broomstick, and numerous other items to the point that she would be unable to get up after the beating.  Approximately 70,000 minors are victims of human trafficking in Mexico.  Recently, 13 individuals were arrested in New York for human sex trafficking.
