Pornography and sextortion are crimes directly linked to sex trafficking.
In the San Antonio area alone, most of the cases reported to the Human Trafficking task force deal with sextortion of minors.
Sextortion is defined as “the threat to expose sexual images in order to make a person do something. These threats come from both strangers met online and once intimate romantic partners attempting to harass, embarrass, and control victims.” - Thorn
just like drugs, porn triggers pathways in the brain that cause craving, leading users back for more and more extreme “hits” to get high.
