The WaPo article 'fact-checking' the Petersen connection was curious to say the least. Two of Petersen's friends, one a Denver-based dominatrix, the other a Rhode Island sex worker, were interviewed saying Petersen did not investigate human trafficking.
In fact, she worked for two years on a still unpublished research paper criticizing Siddhart Kara, an authority in the field who wrote "Sex Trafficking: Inside the Business of Modern Slavery (2009)" and who she allegedly called "one of the demagogues in the field of human trafficking”.
"Monica Petersen was an advocate for sex workers who disdained the rhetoric of people she considered anti-trafficking zealots."
What the fuck are 'anti-trafficking zealots'?
I guess we are all 'anti-sex slavery demagogues' now?
