The September issue of National Geographic (NG) had a very good article on Slavery in general and mentions the "sex slave" problem, along with other slaves or persons in bondage (usually for debt) etc. It was an interesting article. Almost all countries participate in some kind of human trafficking, bondage, or "slavery". The NG article listed more than 50 countries, including the US.
