The Coercion You Cannot See From the Sidewalk (opens the original)
Read excerpt
FRONTLINE's Sex Trafficking in America follows survivors and a Phoenix police unit to show how exploitation actually develops, gradually and often without visible restraint. This piece uses recent trafficking research to explain why coercion is frequently invisible to outside observers, and why the absence of obvious force does not mean the absence of control. It closes by asking what communities owe someone whose captivity does not look like captivity.
Former Abercrombie CEO Michael Jeffries Ruled Competent to Face Sex-Trafficking Trial (opens the original)
Read excerpt
federal judge has ruled that former Abercrombie & Fitch CEO Michael Jeffries possesses sufficient cognitive functioning to stand trial on sex-trafficking and interstate-prostitution charges. His attorneys argued that dementia and other medical conditions prevented him from understanding the proceedings or assisting in his defense. The decision illustrates the important legal distinction between having a serious cognitive disorder and being legally incompetent to stand trial.
