    It’s the trafficking that concerns me

    Edit: weird down votes. I’m opposing sex trafficking, this is one of many websites that facilitated sex trafficking, why is that controversial?

        Yeah. Sex trafficking is a complicated problem. Back Page had a lot of sex trafficking going on, but sex industries always will. I don’t think it’s gotten any better after targeting this particular website, but it was certainly an easy and high profile location to parade future victims. To be honest, I don’t know what the solution is, or is there even is one.

          I can go on Craigslist right now. This was a morality prosecution, not one based on legality. If I was a juror, just the fact that it was the third trial would cause me to vote not guilty.
