05-23-18 In Plain Sight
Ray, David and Bill are joined in studio by Karen Burnell and Nancy Gallinaro to discuss a tough subject. Sexual trafficking is a huge business and these ladies are part of Just Love. They are here to promote a movie, In Plain Sight, being shown at the Westbrook Performing Art Center on Thursday May 24 @ 7pm. While the term trafficking may conjure images of desperate illegal immigrants being forced into prostitution by human smugglers, over 80 percent of victims in 2011 confirmed sex trafficking cases in this country were American citizens. It’s happening in plain sight, and you probably don’t even realize it.
