Sex trafficking

Add "allegedly" after Combs

“Sex Trafficker” is just a modern name for a Pimp.

R2 - not necessarily. It can mean trafficking them to be used for your own sexual pleasure. As in slaves.

World’s oldest profession for men who aren’t attractive, and/or personable enough to get laid without paying for it, as well as for those who are, but aren’t interested in relationships or the work required to score a free, fun & consensual shag.

r2: so?

Don't forget Trump and his "modeling agency" in the 90s. This man has so many scandals that some of the most egregious just get glossed over.

Can't forget to include the FLDS, definitely a top tier offender.

People are sick fucks

isn't Harvey Weinstein kind of adjacent to this?

Who do you think might be next?

Topher Grace

R10, she really should be put out of her misery. One of the most evil people ever, just flying under the radar forever.

No one has the balls to go after her, nor can they, as she purposely takes up residence in some very remote places that are very difficult to get to.

Why do half of these fuckers have to be gay? Giving us the worst rep

Twas ever thus, it's just there's a fixation on weak / insecure borders and nefarious criminals crossing borders these days so they like to push that angle

Isn't every Hollywood Eldergay a sex trafficker? Asking for my friend Bryan.

I am not sure if this answers your question, OP, but celebrities have been used as intelligence assets for a long time. They have access to places, people, resources, etc. that are out of reach of regular civilians, who despite everything continue to hold the famous in irrationally high regard. Even after the sordid revelations of Me Too plenty of people remain naïve enough to trust celebrities, admire them, want to be around them, and want to believe that they are good simply because they are rich and famous. This makes celebrities useful to people in power, and the type of person who is disordered enough to pursue fame at any cost isn't going to flinch at whatever fucked-up things those in power demand of them.

[quote]Why is this the new celebrity crime of the era?

As this has become a much more common issue, I've wondered more about this.

Sure, on the one hand, it's clearly just garden variety pimping combined with casting couch with a handful of regret.

On the other hand, how many celebrities do you think would trade their time on the casting couch for their careers? I mean, I've hooked up with plenty of people I've regretted and didn't even have the promise of helping my career. Granted, I've never hooked up with anyone from a job or work.

While regret is totally understandable as is bitterness when the quid didn't get pro quo-ed, for those who hit big, would they trade it to erase that guilt, shame, or regret?
