How huge is sex slavery and human trafficking in the gay adult industry?
I know a lot of you are respectable producer's with no connection to the mafia side of the adult industry, but you can't deny that it's going on.

Yesterday while bored I went on webcam for some fun at menchats.com, and started up a conversation with this kid who indicated he was 20 from Canada. Anyway after going through the usual run down "age/sex/location, and what are you into?" he then indicated that he couldn't do anything on cam, and that he was just there because he was made to sit there. I laughed at that, as it seemed rather awkward, and I thought he was kidding around (the whole slave & master think cracks me up a bit), but for a moment when he turned around (he had his shirt off) I saw fresh scars on his back. Like he had been whipped rather badly. When I asked him about that, he looked rather scared (deer in the headlights), and said he had to go. I said back, 'Well I hope you take care of your back, bye.', then he said "I'm really 16", and left the room. My heart dropped.
What could I have done in a situation like that to help?

Now I'm paranoid, and am questioning how often this happens on these webcam sites. I often have seen very young looking guys at menchats.com and on cam4.com, granted they may say they are 18+, but you still question if they are. Often I've seen guys looking for someone to paypal them money on both sites for a show.


Anyway while searching about it online I found this interesting website: http://s216606257.websitehome.co.uk/ which talks about sex slavery, internet crime, and webcam sites. Not sure how true or accurate that website is, but it makes you wonder. I've also read about the Johnny Gosch case (http://johnnygosch.com/) and its ties to human trafficking, political persuasion, and sex slavery. All of this freaks me out, and kind of makes me feel guilty for ever looking at porn or having fun on webcam. :(

I hope you saved the chat. If he looked like he could plausibly be 16, and you had the sense that what he was telling was the truth, I would probably contact the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (Canadian equivalent of the FBI). They are a lot more "on top" of the at-risk youth problem than the FBI is.

The concern is that if you contact Menchats, and they, in turn, contact whomever the provider of that particular webcam is, then the kid may suddenly "disappear."

I have a friend who is a social worker in Canada and works with at-risk youth. I will also speak with him and find out if there's an expedited procedure at the RCMP for this sort of situation.

I didn't save the private chat with him, but I'm sure others in the room had to of seen him live on cam. I don't know for a fact if he's really from Canada or if he was really 16, but I don't see why he'd lie about that, and the scars on his back made me think something was up, but I didn't take a screencap of it. I don't even remember his name since it was like "anonymous123456". The room allows guest users and people to usr whatever name they want. I'll just be on the watchout next time I'm in there to see if he makes a reappearance on cam.

that sounds horrid i would report them to the cops too!

There isnt any at all in the adult industry since the 2257 regulations went in to effect :)
