As viewers or followers of AMW during it's time on Lifetime and 2010 FOX are aware, sex trafficking both in the United States and Internationally has become a major problem. Something I've been wondering recently is why we don't see very many fugitives wanted on sex trafficking charges. When you consider the sheer amount of fugitives wanted for drug trafficking, surely there has to be those wanted for the sexual type as well.
As an example, Severiano Martinez-Rojas has been wanted since May for being a part of a sex trafficking ring that forced Mexican women into prostitution in Atlanta. He's the only member of the ring that's still wanted. Sadly I can't locate a picture of the fugitive

I should bring up that even though some people associate the 500th FBI MW List addition Walter Lee Williams with sex trafficking, I feel he fits the example of sex tourism better. Trafficking is forcing a person or a product from one location to another, I don't think Williams really trafficked any of his victims anywhere but traveled to foreign places to engage in the illegal conduct. So to me we haven't seen a true sex trafficker make the FBI 10 Most Wanted List. Perhaps sometime in the future we will?
Thoughts?
