The Lair has at its core a crime of human exploitation. It’s based on the very real problem of human trafficking, which is essentially modern slavery for purposes of forced prostitution or labor. This multi-billion dollar “industry” keeps millions of men, women and children in bondage each year, and according to some estimates is the second-largest crime in terms of dollars spent, surpassed only by the illegal drug trade. It’s also the fastest-growing international crime. It knows no boundaries, and is present in virtually every country around the globe, including, unfortunately, the United States and every state in our union.
