While some young people, like those who are homeless or transgender, are especially vulnerable, the truth is that victims do traverse across every type of neighborhood. They could be top of the class, the girl who lives across the street from you, or the head of the cheer-leading squad.

At least four men raped a 15-year-old runaway and kept her at a West Side apartment complex by keeping her high on drugs, according to court records.

One of the suspects, 28-year-old Ray Hernandez Jr., was arrested Thursday on a charge of continuous trafficking of persons. A second suspect, 25-year-old Alfredo Herrera, was arrested later that day on a charge of sexual assault of a child. Both remain in the Bexar County Jail and further arrests are expected.

Senators on Tuesday vowed to press ahead with an anti-sex trafficking bill opposed by the biggest names in the tech industry, in the latest sign that Silicon Valley has lost some of its luster in Washington.

At issue is a measure introduced by Rob Portman (R-Ohio) and Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) that would make it easier for law enforcement to go after websites that host sex-trafficking ads. The bill would do that by changing Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which protects websites from litigation over content posted by users, even though tech companies warn that tinkering with the provision could wreak broader collateral damage to the internet economy.

And wouldn’t you know it, in a stunning act of legal jujitsu, a grand jury in Houston Texas (a human trafficking mecca) indicts the two pro-life activists who created the video that exposed this infanticide, even though their job was to investigate Planned Parenthood. I SMELL A RAT. Apparently so do these two Pro-Choice reporters, who admit in this article that something is wrong here…
