It is what it is. Its fricking silly to argue the semantics.

I don't disagree with you at all. As best I can gather from the other dude's position in this thread is that the use of the term "sex trafficker" directs attention to "others," some group outside of our society, as the bogeyman perpetrator, when in fact the perpetrators are the same perpetrators as before, all within our own communities.

If you are looking for a Mexican cartel, you will overlook uncle Ernie. If you are looking for a foreign gang, you will overlook the youth minister. Looking outside for some sensational new shadowy international kidnapping organization will direct your attention away from the actual problem of child sexual abuse that is actually happening within our communities and must be addressed.

The fact that these are local arrests slices through your theory.

The Cartels have jumped on the bandwagon as their drug profits wane from the weed trade legalizing in the USA.

The biggest issue is we only seem to focus trafficking efforts on sexual exploitation. its far more comprehensive.
