You are going to want to shower in bleach after reading this latest report from murky world of the underground commercial sex economy.
Many who enter the world of underground commercial
sex work do so because they were ushered in by a friend or family
member. The report also described "high turnover" in the industry, which is where coercion from pimps comes in:
Recruitment tactics used by pimps often include promises of a better lifestyle. One law enforcement official described how pimps groom women and girls through promises of living in a big home and affording a fancy lifestyle. One investigator described how pimps post online ads of women as a grooming mechanism by presenting it as a photo shoot [...]
Law enforcement also discussed how some pimps will use violence against women and girls. These victims are then hidden from law enforcement and won't be advertised until they heal.
From discouraging "having sex for free" to feigning romantic interest, pimps used a variety of tactics to recruit and retain employees. Some even credited their entry into pimping with a natural capacity for manipulation.
While these pimps say they prefer not hiring underage women to avoid trouble with the law, child pornographers often saw their crimes as "victimless."
Explicit content of younger victims is becoming increasingly available and graphic. Online child pornography communities frequently trade content for free and reinforce behavior. Offenders often consider their participation a "victimless crime."
