One of the most sinister structures and behaviors of the subculture is its maintenance of a commercial child sex slave operation. There is significant evidence that sex slavery exists in the United States. The U. S. Central Intelligence Agency estimates that 15,000 children are imported illegally into the United States each year as involuntary participants in the sex industry. The U. S. Justice Department estimates that 300,000 to 600,000 woman and children are currently exploited against their will in the commercial sex industry, with one third of those being children. Thousands of children-predominately female children- are trafficked or transported against their will in conditions of involuntary servitude in the sex industry. The Justice Department report also estimates that 30,000 new women and children are added as involuntary participants in the sex industry each year, with one third of those being children.
There is anecdotal evidence that women and children can be held against their will in middle class households for several years without anyone form the outside coming to their aid and without the women feeling empowered to escape. The December 18, 2000 edition of Newsweek describes a variety of cases of imprisonment of adults in American homes. If it is possible to hold adult women, it is even more likely that easily intimidated children can also be held. The subculture uses a variety of negative reinforcement and fear tactics, plus physical restraint and brutality to restrain its child sex slaves. The subculture claims it also uses its members who hold positions in law enforcement to intimidate the slaves (and the pedophile daughters, as well) and to encourage the slaves who do not accept their enculturation into slavery to believe that flight is hopeless. By middle adolescence, these sex slaves are either deceased or sold into conditions of sexual servitude outside of the subculture.
Similar although less sinister slave-holding subcultures can also be documented. For example, a second Dominant/submissive subculture was discovered during the research process. The "Asian-American House of the Blooming Lotus" is a nationwide and organized BDSM community that might approach subculture status. The organization and operation of the House appears to be similar to that of the incestuous/pedophile subculture except that the sex slavery appears to be consensual and limited to adult women or the children of adult women who give consent for the children to engage in sexual and breeding activities with House Masters. The House appears to avoid sexual exploitation of children or commercial sexual activities (e.g. prostitution) outside of the House. Sexual relations with children appear to be limited, although one case of a middle-aged Master impregnating a twelve-year-old female sex slave was found in Pennsylvania.
Finally, there are historical antecedents for the subculture. The members of the incest/pedophile subculture claim at least four generations of operations, and hint at a longer history. Books on White Slavery from the turn of the 20th Century indicate the forerunners of these modern child sex slave activities were active in Eastern Europe, Poland and France from the early 1800s, shipping women and girls to Islamic nations and to South America as slaves. Incest and pedophilia are documented in the literature and histories of most ancient civilizations. The practices continue in modern society and are well documented in police reports and news media accounts.
