CBC is reporting that "Ten men are facing 31 charges following a human trafficking investigation intended to combat the purchasing of sexual services from underage Indigenous girls on Tsuut'ina Nation. In May, multiple individuals arranged meetings for sexual services with minors, according to police. All those arrested were non-members of the Tsuut'ina Nation."
This is defiantly a good start because doing something is better than doing nothing and in BC we are doing nothing. Yet it's kind of backwards. It was a sting.
They had people pretending to be underage aboriginal girls offering sex to outside clients kind of like Creep Catchers. This is good but throwing all the potential pedophiles in jail doesn't stop the pimps and the current exploitation that does exist. A more effective use of our time would be targeting the pimps.
It's like trying to arrest a handful of drug adicts without arresting any drug dealers. Arresting the drug dealers would be a more effective use of our time. As the Second Missing woman Inquiry found out and didn't investigate, the problem is the pimps.
