Sex Trafficking, Hip Hop, and Corruption In America with Investigative Journalist Brian Joseph

In the wake of the P. Diddy scandal, more and more attention has been drawn to the malignant epidemic of sex trafficking in America. Today, investigative journalist and author Brian Joseph joins the program. It’s been more than six years since investigative reporter Brian Joseph began researching the underbelly of sex trafficking, starting at the Las Vegas Review-Journal. His investigation extracted a harsh reality here in the United States: Law enforcement agencies trip up, and their investigations into sex trafficking become compromised, and self-interest corrupts news organizations and the corridors of power that might otherwise have been able to help bring sex trafficking in America to an end. Joseph says it’s time to face the realities of sex trafficking, pimps, and prostitution in America…all of us. That mission and his work have culminated in his book, Vegas Concierge: Sex Trafficking, Hip Hop, and Corruption In America.
