America isn't alone in its moral panic over sex trafficking, as an Argentinian case against a self-help center called the Buenos Aires Yoga School (BAYS) suggests. Prosecutors are trying the school's 85-year-old founder, Juan Percowicz, and a number of its members, alleging that the school was really a cult engaged in brainwashing and sex trafficking.
Authorities raided the group's headquarters and the houses of 50 members two summers ago, accusing the group of being a front for an international sex slavery ring. Seventeen people, including Percowicz, were arrested and jailed on suspicion of human trafficking for sexual exploitation and money laundering.
