Rep. Zoe Lofgren Finds Herself at the Crux of America’s Sex Trafficking Crisis

Rep. Zoe Lofgren is one of the most powerful members of Congress — and she finds herself at the center of the most explosive sex scandal in American history.  In the view of many in elite Washington circles, Lofgren is quickly becoming known as the woman who decided to sell America’s children to internet predators. She took huge sums of money from the industry, and she has dutifully thwarted any attempt to regulate it in ways that protect children.

More than any other member of Congress, the global sex trafficking epidemic is a result of Lofgren’s unwillingness to regulate the industry. As the ranking member of the Science and Technology Committee and the second most senior member of the Judiciary Committee, it’s squarely Lofgren’s responsibility to oversee the tech industry’s abuses. In fact, Lofgen is the Chair of both the Internet Subcommittee and the Antitrust Subcommittee. She is the crux of Big Tech’s strategy to prevent the enforcement of antitrust laws, in defense of the monopoly positions that they enjoy in their respective markets.

But as the Chair of the Courts Subcommittee, Chair of the Refugee Subcommittee, and Chair of the Border Security Subcommittee, Lofgren’s culpability for the explosive growth of sex trafficking.
