The moon peaks and boredom strikes midnight. Bob thoughtlessly types the word “porn” in the search bar with hopes to find something entertaining for the night. He does not realize that what he has just done is a form of sexual exploitation. He also fails to understand that he is now a part of the perilous cycle of sex trafficking. He will fall asleep, wake up, and go on about his day like nothing was wrong. He might even repeat his actions the following night.

They often use “psychological control” to lure young girls into the industry because they know that once the girls dip their toes into “sexually illicit photos or films,” they will not be able to escape from it (Lillie).

Taking a look at a particular case, Siddharth Kara, a human trafficking researcher, met a young girl from Thailand named Sunee, a victim of a fraud and sex trafficking.
