There's a big difference between a Victorian street-walker and a 15 y.o. girl speaking no English, held in a brothel under the threat of death.
We are talking about slaves here, not practitioners of the world's oldest profession.

Yeah. In the latter situation, the girl speaks no English.
Again, read up on the subject. The Victorians didn't acknowledge whores or sex but they sure used 'em.
Throughout history many prostitutes have lived in conditions of actual or near slavery.
English country girls used to routinely be lured to Belgium or France with offers of legitimate employment and then forced into prostitution. Meanwhile, French girls were lured to London under similar pretexts and treated the same on arrival.
There is very little new under the sun.
They're midwives?
Trafficking in human persons is a grave crime and sin against the inborn dignity of man. It saddens me that people would treat this as a joke. If anyone is envisioning Best Little Whorehouse in Texas or Pretty Woman or Irma La Douce or Never On A Sunday or countless other Hollywood glamourizing of prostitution think again.
Think 11 year old boys sold to Mid Eastern Pedophiles
Think of children and young adults in Africa kidnapped to serve as prostitutes for soldiers. The so called Army of God comes to mind.
Think of virgins forced into brothels so that clients can be assured that they will not contact AIDs.
Think of women who are told that they will be working as housekeepers, aupairs, nannys, models, and other trades that promise them new life in America/ Western Europe. But instead find themselves in debt to their
" benefactors". A debt that they are told can only be can only be paid off by sexual slavery.
A sexual slavery that is enforced by beatings, drug use, intimidation, threats to the lives of the woman and their families.
And please do not forget to think about the organized crime syndicates who are behind human trafficking. You think drug trade reaps a profit? Well it is a spit in the ocean compared to human trafficking.
And do not forget the citizens who keep the sex slave trade alive by seeing a human being as just another commodity.
No civilized nation can tolerate Human Trafficking. Its harm to the public good, its rape of innocence and its loathsome fruit must be fought and stamped out.
This isn't any bargain, because she doesn't speak English.. Wake up guys, it doesn't say she is quiet.. sheeesh.. Who hasn't heard a woman babbling and you didn't understand a word of what she was saying!! DUH! Sex or no sex, it didn't make her any less annoying.. :)
