(21,146 posts)even worse than simple prostitution. He could be her father. Plus this girl had just turned 18 shortly before the incident. That's the age of a high school senior. How long had he been paying for her services? He used her nickname, so did he know her before this time?.
Crossing state lines or going out of the country is what would make it trafficking. The trafficking law is intended to protect girls and women from forced sex service. Some might be consenting, but some, especially younger women still in their teens, might have been recruited and groomed while underage. Sometimes women and girls from other countries are recruited with deceptive job offers and promises of immigration being arranged for them. Then they are forced into sex "to pay the immigration costs."
We don't know enough about this teen yet to know what the situation is.
