Is that really an important question? Is there an definition that would make it okay?

  Yes, "why do you use 'sex trafficking' term?" is an important question. Yes: if under "sex trafficking" we understand [consensual] "prostitution", then in some states it is OK. But even if "sex trafficking" is not ok -- there are various degrees of "not ok". That is why it is important to use clear definitions in a discussion. Unclear "sex trafficking" term converts discussion from rational to irrational, when everyone is free to imagine what exactly "sex trafficking" means.

    I don’t know of any definition of “sex trafficking” in which it’s consensual. But just so we’re clear, here’s the relevant part of the quote: > We literally had a conversation about how, on the off chance that they’re not there by choice, we could maybe help them.

      Do you have an information that sex that these girls had with Epstein or with his friends or with his clients - was not consensual? The stories that these girls told suggest that they were free to leave.
