What kind of evidence would satisfy your skepticism?
Well I m skeptical that its a blown up charge.
Human trafficking can be very difficult to prove. Mostly because in many instances the women involved will not cooperate. Theyve been groomed to a point and their financial needs have been met. They will not turn against the 'pimp' who takes care of them. Further most of the time they are adult victims, they have numerous options to leave yet dont. They are being coerced BUT they do have free will and can leave if they want.
If we're talking about underage kids thats a different story too. Because by tge very nature of tgeir age erases all questions of consent..
So, when I say it sounds like a trumped up charge Im guessing he hired an escort /call girl/ prostitute/ for his own pleasure using an online service and instead of handling it like a typical "John and hooker" situation, they're trumping up the charges and calling it human trafficking.
Even worse, it could be a police sting. A law enforcement decoy on the other end- no actual human victims at all.
So evidence that is in question is: how many women, what were there ages, how long has this been going on? Were they coerced or forced or otherwised groomed? Im guessing a guy with his social media fame isn't doing all that shit. But he does seem like a big enough poser to hire an online escort or to fall for a decoy mission.
Thats just my initial impression from the reading the headline.
