Possibly. How many more children would this dirt bag sell into the sex trade? One? Fifty? At what point is it "worth it" to pursue justice.
Can you give me a hypothetical sex traffic victim to dead person person conversion table?
Asking for some Austin cops…

If law enforcement actually wanted to tackle the trafficking problem in Houston, they would go after the outlets.
All it takes is a quick search on rubmaps.com to see where you can buy sex, right now, in Houston.
After that, they can go after people on Tryst. It's such an open secret because there is so much money being passed around.
Human trafficking is integral to Houston's economy and culture. They won't do anything about it because they don't want to.
The only solution to make sex work safer in Houston is to legalize it. Which they also won't do because they're "better than that" and legalization would result in better treatment of workers at the expense of employers.
Why do you think children were sold into sex slavery here? This is just about illegal migration. Why do you weirdos assume everything is about raping children?
Do you have any concept of what human smuggling actually means? Educate yourself for five whole minutes and then come back and tell me what you found out. You think people in Georgia are actually still buying slaves to work the land? Surprise, weirdo, there are a shitload of pedophiles and sex abusers in every developed nation who purchase children to that end. Usually they work somewhere in the highest tiers of government.
