Coming from an abusive, addicted home, she was 11 when she met the man that would push her into prostitution. She killed him when she was 16 and was sentenced to life without parole + 4 years. She is 29 now. Isn't 13 years enough in this case?

What would the pimp have gotten?

How are we as a society making sure our children are cared for properly so they don't end up in these situations? So they don't lose their moral compass? How do we protect the orphans- real or metaphorical- so that they don't fall to the wolves?




Human trafficking is a problem world-wide. Keeping these girls in shame, blaming the victim, and letting the men off with absurd biological deterministic arguments brings to mind the phrase so often repeated in the Qur'an:

What logic are they using?
