Three years ago, The Atlantic magazine published a longform article that took a lot of people by surprise. It was <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2022/01/children-sex-trafficking-conspiracy-epidemic/620845/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">entitled</a>, &#8220;THE GREAT (FAKE) CHILD-SEX-TRAFFICKING EPIDEMIC.&#8221; It dismissed the supposed &#8220;moral panic&#8221; among conservatives on the issue, saying it amounted to an &#8220;Internet conspiracy theory.&#8221;
The Atlantic published this piece just days after a CNN staffer was <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2021/12/11/us/john-griffin-charged-arrested-minors-unlawful-sexual-activity/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">arrested</a> for attempting to persuade minors to engage in unlawful sexual activity. It was also published while the Ghislaine Maxwell <a href="https://www.npr.org/2021/11/29/1058854498/ghislaine-maxwell-trial-opening-arguments" target="_blank" rel="noopener">trial</a> was going on. Maxwell, of course, conspired with Jeffrey Epstein to operate a sex-trafficking ring that exploited multiple children over the course of a decade. And the piece in The Atlantic came after several <a href="https://www.heritage.org/crime-and-justice/commentary/us-top-destination-child-sex-trafficking-and-its-happening-your" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reports</a> indicating that the United States, thanks largely to its open southern border, is one of the top destinations for child-sex trafficking in the world.
