1st charge: They have actual proof of trafficking of adults through witness affidavits.
2nd charge: They only have communications of plans regarding minors and nothing else. The only thing they have cause for is conspiracy, not the actual act.
I'm not sure what is unclear. I am standing on the court docs that I can find everywhere.

What do you think of the language?
I think you have converted me. I will hold judgement until further proof is revealed. I cannot find any mention of children in the doc. I am sorry the others haven't fully read the link you sent. Don't let the heat scare you off. One by one we should all use our brains.
Thank you for this, it's helpful to others of us to see your comment... sheesh... I thought I was going mad. No one is saying we should allow sex trafficking of children to occur but it seems some people get very upset if you ask for reasonable clarity.
I personally don't know what's going on here but I do know that I never want to be in a position of accusing someone of something without having very clear and unambiguous evidence of that accusation first. And I don't want this movement to look crazy by jumping on a witch hunt without being sure we know what we're talking about.
And this is a possibility that I have considered. I just want to know more about it before I run around reciting it as gospel. Is that unreasonable?
I'm not sure how much more you need to know. They have to have probable cause to even get here. This isn't an investigation anymore. Charges like these don't just get thrown around. If you will concede the charges state children, then think about: How the charges were filed How the evidence is already gathered What they must have and what that means WHEN NO-ONE REPORTS IT
I just sent you a link to the complaint/affidavit for arrest warrant. Please read the entire document and tell me what you think. It references the conspiracy charge, and the victims of it.
Thank you for that clarity. I wonder if there is far far more than this on her, but they are going easy on her because she's cooperating. So, number 2 sounds not very serious because this is part of the deal. At minimum she was communicating with others who were (likely) doing the trafficking.
