We're Sick

LIMA, Peru (AP) -- At least 1,700 women from Latin America and the Caribbean are lured each year into sexual slavery in Japan's huge illicit sex industry, according to a new report.

A team of researchers hired by the Organization of American States found that most of the women come from Colombia, Bolivia, Brazil, Mexico and Peru.

...Japan's National Police Agency estimates the sex trade industry there to be worth $83 billion a year.

$83 billion!!! In the tiny country of Japan!!! And I'm sure that's probably a conservative estimate. I imagine worldwide it's a trillion dollar industry.
