Highly informative book about sexual explotation of youth, specifically young girls. Infuriating because some 13 years after its publication, there's been little change in the US in how we treat the victims as a society, and more importantly, in legislation. In some places, we have even gone backwards regarding commercially sexually exploited child/youth. We still have decision makers who believe some victims are less deserving of resources based on their gender, social status, and race. There are men with credible accusations against them living their lives as if they have done nothing wrong. Great read if you live in the bubble of not knowing their plight and self role in it due to ignorance. It will change your view of the commercial sex industry.
