@penamerica.bsky.socialReposted by @lbschool.bsky.social“Mostly I feel angry on behalf of the women that I interviewed for the story: young women who’ve been sold into sexual slavery, who told their stories so the world could know what was going on. To hear people... say that their accounts are pornographic is so disrespectful to them," said McCormick.
