So when we look at cases of what does human trafficking look like, it could certainly take place and look like a commercial red light district.

Thankfully, those have gotten a little bit of focus.

Countries and governments who are...

Trying to clean up their reputation and not be a sex tourist destination, but have other natural tourist activities that are more family friendly.

So trafficking could occur there, it does, but it's also in border towns.

And I was thinking of it actually on the way over here today.

It's interesting what we as society or global cultures are comfortable with.

Red light districts or massage businesses here in the United States often have traffic victims in them.

Really?

Massage businesses?

Uh-huh.

Wow.

There's a big...

A population of Chinese speaking masseuses who offer happy endings or sexual services in these massage places.

A lot of illicit massage businesses or IMBs in the United States.

And they're very difficult to investigate because most...

Most of those cases require Chinese language proficiency.

And they're here in the country technically, sometimes legally.

And so you have to prove that they're doing these illicit things.

And you have an uncooperative witness.
