The recent Rolling Stone rape that never was case got me thinking. What kind of idiot woman is going to admit that she entered a country illegally and get a criminal record rather than claim to have been trafficked and look like a victim?
Then there is the demand side of the equation. What cop wants to look like a jerk by booking a woman who simply wants to feed her family back in BFE? The paperwork would appear to be less if the woman is a victim rather than a criminal, the cop looks like a hero rescuing the woman from persons unknown and the case is closed quick.
That leads to two questions:
How badly does this much noise cover up actual signal of human trafficking of adult women?
Since there are huge non-cash incentives to create bogus cases where investigations are a waste of time how does this impede investigations of real cases?
