themselves, the threat -- very definite threat to their family. they know these girls and boys, whomever they may be, all they have to hope for and dream for is that their family is safe somewhere, that they're helping their family in some way, and so they have a kind of self-fulfilling prophecy, they stay in their trafficking situations to protect their families because as one victim said to me here in the states. she said, it was all i had left to give. i knew i was keeping my family safe by staying there, by not running away. i knew if i ran away, he told me he would kill them. >> here's a conversation with a pimp, watch. >> i'm going to tell you something, if you pay the price, can you get what you want. i can get it for you. >> really? >> now, if you want something really young, that $200 that will cost a little more than that. >> sure, sure. >> how young --

i was hit a couple times for not bringing back enough, for talking about. you're always supposed to bring back more than 100. i was at least, i don't know about other girls. >> between me and my boyfriend at the time, there was a lot of violence. i had black eyes, he used to choke me all the time. i would have never thought i would have been in this situation. i would have never thought i would have sold myself for any other person. i would have never thought that i would have let myself be treated as badly as i was being treated by him. >> ben skinner, you were offered a slave? >> on four continents i was witness to the sale of human beings. >> how does it work? >> let's say we're in brooklyn, new york, where i was living at the time. some eight hours from there, in port-au-prince, hatepy. i pulled up in an suv, rolled down a window. there were four men standing in front of a barber shop. everyone in the neighborhood knows what these men do. they're brokers.

involved in prostitution on a population basis anywhere in the country. we went to portland, oregon, we met some heroic cops out there, megan duquesne and the man you just saw, doug justice are heros from my standpoint. they explain to us that this is an american problem. a lot of people think, well, it must be immigrants or people brought into the country. they -- the estimate of 100,000 or more, which i think is low, there are estimates as many as 300,000 underaged girls and some boys in this country involved in under age prostitution. this shocked me beyond belief. i didn't believe it. it turns out it's true. >> do these girls go back to their homes at night? are they kept as slaves? how does that work? >> no, how it works, and ben touched on it earlier. this is very organized now, a lot of people that were in the drug trade have found out this is more lucrative and less chance of going to prison.

>> i was shocked, i was outraged. in the beginning i was skeptical thinking, this problem can't be as broad as the police say it is. but it is, indeed. i think the point we may have missed here, that the premium is on very young girls, cases where 80, 83, 85-year-old men will pay a real premium, $500, $1,000 for a girl who's 11. yes, 11 years old or 12 years old. we don't make this up. these are real cases that are happening in our country and by and large, they're happening to -- not to immigrants who come into the country but to american girls in some cases, boys here. >> the average cost of buying a slave is $90, according to free the slaves.net. more on what you need to know after the break.

and then they -- they become very bonded in terms of believing that they are dependent on their trafficker. and that is something that the trafficker will move toward. >> larry: i understand that, but what about after they're sold? the trafficker they're bonded with but what about the guy they sell them too? >> in almost any kind of trafficking situations, if it's a female trafficking victim that person will be a victim of rape. they are constantly kept under the threat of physical harm to themselves, the threat -- very definite threat to their family. they know these girls and boys, whomever they may be, all they have to hope for and dream for is that their family is safe somewhere, that they're helping their family in some way, and so they have a kind of self-fulfilling prophecy, they stay in their trafficking situations to protect their families because as one victim said to me here in the states. she said, it was all i had left to give. i knew i was keeping my family safe by staying there, by not running away. i knew if i ran away, he told me he would kill them. >> here's a conversation with a pimp, watch. >> i'm going to tell you

maloney's office, she's planning a federal piece of legislation that mirrors this, that gives consumers the tools to decide not to buy slave made products. >> i think one of the things i've seen, it's a little more complicated than that. it's a function of the company saying, we don't control it. and what we have said with the bill is, okay, some of you say you don't control it, some of you are prepared to use your influence, we want to engage the consumer by disclosing the policy that the companies have, i believe the consumer will say, i want to buy the product of the company that's doing the right thing and growing best practices. >> let's take a look at another clip from dan rather reports on porn land, oregon. two girls caught up in the sex trade talking about the demand for under aged prostitutes. >> some guys are creepy. some guys d actually know how old i was and they liked that. >> i used to lie and say i was

it. >> how did you come across this story? >> we're always looking for good investigative stories. we went to maldova to do a story about the international trafficking in kidneys. and maldova it was very obvious that this sex trade traffic, particularly concentrating on young girls and in some cases boys was heavy. i came back home intending to do a story on international sex trafficking. what i found out very quickly, it's a big problem in this country. i know a lot of people are shaking their heads saying, i don't believe that. the fbi estimates, in excess of 100,000 american girls, american girls are involved in some form of the sex slavery trafficking business today. we look around, we found portland, oregon at that time, i think it may still be true, had the highest percentage of underaged girls involving --
