One unfortunate thing about sex trafficking is that it's so charged, so rare, and has unambiguously "good victims" vs "bad guys" - there's a lot of incentive to identify as a victim, or play up the degree it's happened to you. This can muddy the waters of real vs fake victims

You hit on some good points but lost me a bit with the “rare” part…maybe in much of the US, but around the world it’s happening on a pretty massive and horrifying scale tbh

Globally around 4+ million by most measures, but even in the US most estimates seem to be in the tens of thousands, some estimates of six figures which surprised me. But im sure like with most things some of the discourse is nonetheless quite skewed compared to actuarial data.
