Sex Trafficking In Glasgow, Montana

FBI Public Information Officer for our district, Todd Palmer, explained that Montana hasn't really seen certain types of human trafficking, but prostitution is a problem with the Bakken so close by. He said that metro areas are more likely to be the target of business deals, but rural areas will see more business done online, on websites like Craigslist and Backpage.com. The recent arrest of a Glasgow resident who was soliciting a minor for sex brought the issue out in the open for locals.

“There's going to be a greater influx of this type of crime at this time in the area,” Palmer said, referring to the direct path to big oil boom areas. “Runaway kids can easily end up in the sex trade, and a lot of them are from the foster care programs.”

While local residents might picture a foreigner flown into the country and forced into slavery, it actually is a little bit more in depth. The reality is that the nation is seeing a lot more domestic human trafficking. People are treated like slaves and forced, coerced, or brought in by fraud into a life where they must provide services against their will.

Those who find themselves in this life lose one thing that America is known for, their freedom. The reason this business is thriving is because there is low risks for those involved, and the profits are incredibly high. Unfortunately there's also a high demand, meaning that criminals are looking to gain more supply.

“There's not really one type of demographic for those soliciting services,” Palmer said. “It's also easy for those looking to solicit.”

“What we're seeing around the Bakken is sex trafficking,” Palmer said.

Drug addicts stealing your stuff, prostitution, toxic waste dumps from the oil fields, washed up x sheriffs bullying and threatening those that don't agree with them, sounds like a lovely place to live and raise a family. :roll:
