Male sex trafficking victims ignored

Article here. Excerpt:

'Like many victims of a Connecticut sex trafficking ring that preyed on troubled young men and teenage boys for more than 20 years, Samuel Marino never told his family or police about being coerced into sexual relations with much older men.

Marino ended up carjacking vehicles from two different women in 2009 and leading police on a chase that left him dead at just 26 years old. In a handwritten note found years later in a raid on one of the suspected sex trafficking ring leader's homes, Marino wrote he was angry, ashamed and disgusted at how he was taken advantage of.
...
The case has illuminated what victims and advocates call the underreported scourge of male sex trafficking. While both male and female trafficking victims suffer trauma and other psychological scars, data suggest men and boys are less likely to come forward and when they do they are more likely to have difficulties finding counseling and other services, victims and advocates say.'

Feminists want to equate hooking with trafficking. Women or men who decide to turn tricks for whatever reason be it a love of sex, money, money-for-drugs, etc., are hooking.

People of either sex promised this or that for their cooperation by others then forced by threat or circumstance to turn tricks for others' profit are however being trafficked/pimped.

Yes Virginia, boys can be trafficked, too.
