  12. Stephen Grosch the research clearly shows that most men who solicit children have hands on victims. It would be extremely rare that this was the first time all of them attempted this.

  43. You are absolutely right Mary Elena – although this is a good start – I’d like to see a more concerted effort and significant prosecutions. The vast majority of traffickers in the nation – including Arizona and Flagstaff are never held accountable. This must change.
