Firstly the claims asserted to be factual by this film are utterly debunked by the data. The claim that the average ago of entry into sex work is 14" ha been debunked by the Atlantic, the Washington Post Fact Check", and Poilitifact. The Peer reviewed work shows the average age for entry is in fact between 22 to 23 years old. The number 14 and 13 came from a small set of interviews with MINORS who were at the time in sex work or on custody .ONLY minors. . That is like attempting to assert the general risk of fires in all homes by only using the set of houses with smokers domiciled. The truly random samples of sex workers shows they are in average 22.7 years old when they start.
We ended up with Congressional testimony (including by someone involved in this film) and then Senator Klobuchar making this "14-years-old" statement, which the Obama justice department had to come out and clarify was a baseless statistic.
The data also show average reduced lifespan, controlling for poverty, is 11 months. That is right, women in sex work lose, in their lifetime, an average of eleven months mostly actually effect of venerial diseases like AIDS or hepatitis, and not some generalized homicide. Also the organ harvesting in the US or Canada trope has been even ore thoroughly debunked nonsense.
But most egregious is Ashly Judd character as someone who works though US orphanages and foster care institutions to induct girls into slave based prostitution. That is as disgusting as the rumors about Comet Pizza and Judd ought to be ashamed of herself. There is exactly zero evidence that that is a significant source.
Highest risk for a minor girl entering into prostitution in studies in six us jurisdictions? Being domiciled in a home with a man with criminal; record, most typically a boyfriend of the mother. That actually north of 93% of gun violnmce involving children. If you want to do something about children and prostitutions or for that matter kids and gun violence, make it illegal to allow anyone with a felony arrest in any home where there are children.
