ABC’s Nightlife followed a CIA unit whose only task is to break international child prostitution rings. In 15 minutes, the mini documentary shows how American federal agents organize a sex party only to arrest the human traffickers delivering underage prostitutes.
“Operation Underground Railroad,” a CIA operation with the name derived from a 19th century US scheme to free slaves, hit Cartagena, one of the main spots for child prostitution in Colombia.
The US investigators, supported by Colombia’s prosecution office, got together more than 100 prostitutes, the majority minors, for a fictitious bachelor’s party.
Once money has changed hands with one of the five traffickers, an American citizen, police breaks up the party and arrest the alleged traffickers.
Social workers arrived to attend to the minors.
According to ABC, the special operations unit will be the subject of a movie, the Abolitionists, again referring to the 19th century movement that south the liberty of black Americans.
