He called them his “wives,” but prosecutors have accused Travis of treating the women more like slaves who were marketed online for profit.

I believe that this Detroit pimp was abusing and pimping these women. I think he ought to be placed in some prison's general population while awaiting trial, letting slip that he is a "pedophile and baby killer." Might save the cost of the trial!
Elsewhere in the world, more often in developing nations and Muslim states, real sex slavery is happening and those countries do little or nothing to address the problem. In Central Africa, the only time sex slavery is an issue is when Boko Harram kidnaps girls in mass to become sex slaves. In the Arab states of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE and even Yemmin, sax slavery is "prohibited" while government and law enforcement wink and nod. In India and China, officials loudly insist that no such thing ever happens, while millions of young women are constrained, restrained and sold.
Why is the US singled out - by our own media - for something rare in this nation and common in others?
