The flourishing of escort Web sites apparently stems from the 2004 court ruling that forced three major newspapers to stop advertising escort services.
Unlike newspaper advertisements, the use of the Internet costs almost nothing from the pimp?s point of view.
"Traders in women get a lot of use out of the Internet," says Levenkron, "and it also protects them from arrest. The police at least inspect the regular escort institutions. A policeman enters a brothel, orders a woman and if one is given to him, he can make an arrest. With a virtual whorehouse, however, it is impossible to get in."
If you're aware of any illegal online activity involving the abuse of women or the publication of pornography, please report it immediately .
