Any chance you could repost some lost news articles, Anonymous?


There were a number of your recent articles, especially on corruption in Baja and Mexico, that I didn't get a chance to read yet.

But I was most sad to see lost the articles on sex slavery. There is so much denial out there that it is even a problem that I found that set of articles to be very informative. When I tried to log in and copy them to send to some people I know, they were gone. I know it's a royal pain, but if you could find the time to repost even just those, I'd be very greatful. Thanks. - Stephanie

The Sunday NY Times had an in-depth article on sex slavery. It seems that there are protected towns near DF where girls as young as 10 are "groomed" for the trade through repeated rape and other torture. Sickening stuff.

Here's the story:
