You want to tread very carefully and consider what action to take, if any. If it is a major international ring, they will have no problem with "silencing" someone who threatens their operation. If it is a major international ring, then it's almost certain that they are being assisted by a corrupt official. I would steer clear of contacting any federal or state level agency. If you value your safety, DO NOT contact the local police. Again, DO NOT contact the local authorities. Police are often some of the worst abusers of trafficked prostitutes, looking the other way in exchange for....favors. If you feel compelled to do the right thing, I would contact a local advocacy group, This allows you to stay truly anonymous since they will not ask you try to identify you, interview you, require you to come in for a court case or further interview, or put you on some record whether official or not. Also, if you go to the authorities, you are definitely going to want a lawyer, which can be expensive. This is a good example of an organization to contact: http://www.womenslaw.org/gethelp_national_type.php?type_id=1063 http://www.womenslaw.org/gethelp_national_type.php?type_id=1... Furnish them with evidence, and let them contact the local authorities. This keeps you anonymous and off the record, don't have any chance to be called into court or the station to provide an interview, etc. Good luck to you, would-be Elliot Alderson :)
