White slave cases face tough federal probes at year end
The Department of Justice reports 460 violations last week with only about one in ten reaching U S attorneys. Investigations show motives of blackmail revenge or malice drive many complaints. Despite perceptions, major cases stem from the north west and mid west with many missing persons records, and authorities note the traffic in young women has waned as organized white slavery weakens. A recent arrest in San Francisco involved a woman bought in China for 350 and sold for 2000, illustrating foreign links in the trade. Officials expect fiscal year data to show a decline and less commercialized white slavery across the nation.
