Real men don't buy girls Macbeth so you need to stop complaining and get in line to help-Ashton KutcherBacked by a tougher Indiana law, a coalition of Roman Catholic nuns has stepped up efforts to curb the sex trade during this weekend's Super Bowl.
The group, which includes the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Joseph in Cleveland, has contacted hotels in Indianapolis and its environs to be on the lookout for sex trafficking and to take steps to halt it. The effort was first reported by WKYC-TV.
"No one wants human trafficking in their town," Immaculate Heart of Mary Sister Ann Oestreich said in a prepared statement. "These activities happen in the dark. What we are attempting to do is to shine a light on sex trafficking and reduce opportunities for it to happen."

Major events such as a Super Bowl or Olympics often attract a host of illegal activities, including sex trafficking and gambling.
Very interesting readIt's between 100,000 and 300,000 child sex slaves in the United States today," Ashton Kutcher told CNN's Piers Morgan on April 18. That, says Kutcher, is how many kids are lost to prostitution in America every single year. "If you don't do something to stop that, that's when there is something wrong with you, in my opinion

The thinly veiled fraud behind the shocking "100,000 to 300,000 child prostitutes" estimate has never been questioned.
...
But what no newspaper has bothered to explain—and what Moore and Kutcher certainly don't mention—is that the figure actually represents the number of children Estes and Weiner considered "at risk" for sexual exploitation, not the number of children actually involved.
...
Who, then, is at risk?
Not surprisingly, the professors find that any "outsider" is at risk.
All runaways are listed as being at risk.
Yet the federal government's own research acknowledges that "most runaway/thrown-away youth were gone less than one week (77 percent)"—hardly enough time to take up prostitution—"and only 7 percent were away more than one month," according to the National Incidence Studies of Missing, Abducted, Runaway, and Thrownaway Children 2002, commissioned by the Department of Justice.
According to Estes and Weiner, transgender kids and female gang members are also at risk.
So are kids who live near the Mexican or Canadian borders and have their own transportation. In the eyes of the professors, border residents are part of those 100,000 to 300,000 children at risk of becoming whores.
Superbowl tickets are not cheap. Your average joe could not afford to attend. The sort of people who could afford those tickets are the sort of people who could afford better hookers than the ones found on eros.com...... I wonder why the NFL doesn't mind the media calling their fans child rapist but whatever.
Since the whole super bowl and prostitution thing has been repeatedly debunked and child prostitution is extremely overstated why do we have to suffer a guilt trip every time the super bowl comes around?
