Sex and the Trafficked Teenager

New York Times columnist Nicolas D. Kristoff notes that a great deal of sex trafficking in the U.S. of underaged girls, is conducted through a Web site owned by Village Voice Media. I wonder how much if any of the same action is going on via the back pages of sanctimomious lefty rag NOW Magazine, whose boxes of free papers are ubiquitous throughout Toronto. (You could say the icky sex funds/fuels the even ickier politics.) Sure, the chicks trolling for customers in NOW claim to be out of jail-bait territory (the age 19 being especially popular, and no one claiming to be being older than 22-23) but who's to say they aren't significantly younger than that, and aren't being trafficked like the ones in the U.S. who toss up on the Village Voice Media site?
