Prosecutions are essential in combating the horrific sex- trafficking industry, and a recent case just made the complicated process a whole lot harder. With criminal networks involving numerous countries, thousands of individuals and countless resources, prosecutions must untangle a complex web while balancing aggressive detective work and undercover investigations.

Details about the attacked ship Al Meezan - as well as its private securi...
