There is a problem in California.
"In one of several related cases, hundreds of Mexican girls between 7 and 18 were kidnapped or subjected to false romantic entrapment by organized criminal sex trafficking gangs.
"Victims were then brought to San Diego County, California.
"Over a 10 year period these girls were raped by hundreds of men per day in more than 2 dozen home based and agricultural camp based brothels."

In 2006, Paul Joseph Watson & Alex Jones (Dyncorp and Halliburton Sex Slave Scandal Won't Go Away) asked:
"Where were the investigations and convictions in other cases of establishment orchestrated child slavery and prostitution? Like the NATO officials responsible for the mushrooming of child prostitution in Kosovo?"
"What happened to UN officials identified as using a ship charted for 'peacekeepers' to bring young girls from Thailand to East Timor as prostitutes?"
"Across America, young ... girls are vanishing from homes, schools, and neighborhoods and reappearing in brothels, escort agencies, and strip clubs."
Who's Stealing Little Girls?
In the UK, "border officials took bribes from and traded favours with trafficking rings over a number or years.
"In some cases, money exchanged hands directly. In others, the officials and the traffickers formed 'mutually beneficial relationships,' which allowed them to earn over $1 million a year.
"A recent report from the UK states that many traffickers find it 'relatively easy' to move their victims through the UK."
