Question

When Tonya was 15, she ran away from home and began a relationship with Eddie, a man much older than she was. She eventually moved in with him. After a few weeks, their relationship changed. “He approached me and told me in so many words, ‘I want you to have sex with this guy for money,’” Tonya said. “I was very uncomfortable and I kept saying no, I didn’t want to do it. He kept telling me, ‘If you love me, you’ll do this. It’s just one thing. Just try it.’” After nearly 30 more minutes of constant pressure, Tonya agreed to have sex with the man. What she thought would be a one-time thing became an everyday routine for the next few weeks.
Is this a case of human trafficking? Why or why not?
1) no, because Eddie did not force Tonya to have sex with the other man
2)no, because Eddie did not make Tonya move to a new location as a result of the trafficking
3) yes, because Tonya was a minor when she had sex for money
4)yes, because it happened on more than one occasion

Answer 1

Answer:

yes

Explanation:

frankly 3 and 4 but if you have to pick one then I guess 4. human trafficking isn't just moving people around the country or the world as sex slaves. it is also coercing people in order to benefit in some way, (usually financially) from their work or service, typically in the form of forced labor or sexual exploitation. the fact that he was adult and she was a kid makes him a pervbut the fact that he made money off of her makes him a human trafficker.
