    The article did not attempt to evoke any sympathy for the perpetrator like is common in sexual offenses. There was no victim blaming but this is also because the women were perpetually defenseless and it would have been incredibly hard to paint them in any other light.

The fact that it was a news article from a reputable source makes the story more credible. The article lets the readers read all of the facts for themselves at their own speed, unlike if they had heard it on a podcast or watched it on the news where they could have misheard a key part of the story.…

The idea that these universities would not try and cover up these cases or infer that it was the victims fault is very much appalling. It is telling the students on these campuses they value money and the reputation of the school over the life or well-being of the students.…

He just kept asking me why someone would do this to women let alone children, he looked so sad and confused. I told him I didn't have the answer to that question but that people are working very hard to stop this from happening. It was really eye opening though because neither one of us really knew anything about sex trafficking and how awful it is. It was nice to watch it with him though because we got to talk about the videos and the 3 women who were speaking, we talked about those videos for about 2 hours.…
