Synopsis
In the eyes of a pimp, nothing is more valuable than a teenager - the younger, the better. INVESTIGATIVE REPORTS: CHILD SEX TRADE reports that each year more than 300,000 kids are bought, sold, exploited and enslaved by child sex rings from California to New York, from Canada to the Midwest. On the street, a 13-year old girl can earn up to $200,000 a year for her pimp. Worldwide last year, these child prostitutes earned more than a billion dollars. 51% of the teenagers working the streets are boys. Their greatest danger comes from their customers, who pay them money for sex and then introduce them to a lifestyle of degradation and pederasty. CHILD SEX TRADE focuses on how pimp organizations operate and why they are able to reach into middle class America for their victims. Trace the largest pipelines for the child sex trade, from Kansas and Minnesota to the Las Vegas strip.
