Hello Mr. Kristof. Thanks for doing the AMA. You wrote a piece last year, “What About American Girls Sold on the Streets?”, which addressed the problem of human sex trafficking, juvenile prostitution in the United States. You featured a book written by survivor Rachel Lloyd. For every success story like Ms. Lloyd, who escaped her pimp, earned college degrees and started GEMS, there seems to be countless victims still within the life of prostitution and trafficking.

What is your viewpoint on Sara Kruzan, who has been imprisoned since she was a teenager for first degree murder of her child sex-captor? What within in our system needs to change to ensure pimps and traffickers are the ones punished - is it society’s viewpoint of domestic minor sex trafficking or antiquated laws?
