Child Sex Trafficking Ring Busted in South Carolina

The universe of US law, and every well adjusted person over the age of 20.

He said "child sex freaks." Sorry, I see that as adults preying on 15-year old kids or younger. Certainly not some guys in their 20's going after 17-year old young women.

BTW: age of consent in SC is 16.

Some of these men are suspects in the disappearance and murder of Brittanee Drexel, who was 17 at the time she went missing. No one has been prosecuted as of yet, but law enforcement has spoken about information suggesting that a gang of sex traffickers kidnapped and ultimately killed her, after selling her to men dozens of times.

A guy in his 20s seeking out HS juniors is a predator.

BTW: age of consent in SC is 16.

And age of majority is 18.
 
Even if age of consent is 16.
Good grief



Age of consent is not age of majority (adulthood).
It's the age when someone can consent to sex, which is the issue here when someone is calling the adult a "child sex freak."

The question of child or adult is answered by the age of majority, not the age of consent.

Only in America is a 17-year old considered a "child." SMH

I don't know anyone over the age of 20 that would consider a 17 year old an adult. At 17 one's world is small and responsibilities are largely academic. At 17, people haven't even finished developing physically. A woman of such age generally has breasts but never hips.

At my ripe old age, 46, I don't consider anyone under 30 an adult. People in their 20s, including myself at that age, don't know their ass from a grenade.
 
Child sex freaks are frequently top targets in prison by other inmates. They better watch out in the shower room and the yard.
I dont know...in todays world they might be seen as rockstars. This is not the same as being a child molester. These guys are running stables of underage girls, adults...they are pimps. There is a concern about the same thing happening in the Latino communities. Washington DC has had lots of young women show up missing and there is concern that a-no one cares about them because they are black and b-that they are being sold into sexual slavery. The CNN article interviewed a young woman thatwe essentially kidnapped from Detroit, sent to Atlanta (where they have no contacts and are further stuck) and was used as a child prostitute for years.

I don't care what you consider an adult. In SC, a 17 year old is old enough to consent to sex with anyone they choose. Hence, it is not a sex crime to have relations with one. RoadVirus's comment was dumb.
 
I don't care what you consider an adult.

And I don't care that you don't care. haha

You can go on considering people that have not fully developed physically, and have not developed at all introspectively, to be adults. I have higher standards.

Not a sex crime but certainly a predator. Guys in their 20s going after HS students are pathetic yet harmful.

That is nothing but a sideshow. Who cares what her age is. This isn't a senior asking out a freshman to the prom.

They raped her, sold her to other men, and then rewarded her by killing her and tossing her in an alligator pit.

These are members of a sex trafficking ring. Douse them with gas and then toss them a lit match. WHO CARES if it hurts them?

I certainly don't advocate for old men banging high school chicks. I just took exception to RV calling is "child sex."

So much disgust here. Not only the sex trafficking but this informant is coming out after so many years. How can someone witness such a thing and not run straight to the police? smh

Chances are he only snitched because he was in a jam. I'm sure it wasn't to "do the right thing." ;)
 
Horrible crime. I hope they spend the rest of their lives behind bars.

You think the story should be ignored...because the perpetrators are black? Dood...thats some seriously racially motivated **** you got going on.

It is an important story and my initial reaction to ecofarm's post was like yours. Then I looked at the OP's posting history. When you constantly post about crimes but never about crimes commited by your own demographic group, it brings one's motivations into question.

One individuals posting history doesnt change the facts regarding the case and the ongoing tragedy. FFS...we literally have modern day slavery happening in the US.

And if you are looking at overall positing history...if the OP is yin, Eco is yang.

The "child sex freaks" are the customers of these yahoos.

And, were she 18 or 28, it still would be a horrific crime to rape her, sell her to other men, kill her, and toss her into an alligator pit.

I don't actually condone the use of the Death Penalty or torture, but perhaps both are warranted in these sorts of cases. Human trafficking is a huge problem, and child trafficking is about as sick as one can get. Torture for information, then perhaps just throw them in a pit somewhere...like the Mariana Trench.

Such criminals should be executed
 
First, in what universe is a 17-year old a "child"?

And, second, this really is not all that unusual. After all, it's not like white guys don't snatch women off the street late at night, rape them, kill them and then feed them to the gators of put them in a deep hole.

If she was just another drug-addled missing hooker, no one would care. What needs to be focused on, IMO, is the importance of listening to your goddamned parents. When they say don't go to Myrtle. Don't ****ing go to Myrtle.

Drexel isn't the only teenager who ever did something rebellious, she's just living in a time where it's dangerous to be a woman who is walking down the street alone. Who didn't disobey their parents at some point during their teenage years?
 
If they were white would the OP have posted their pics?

I would hope so. The more people see their faces the harder it will be for them to do the same thing again if they get off and try to do this again in the future

This particular OP wouldn't even have made a thread about it if the perps were white.
